The dance studio is located at 113 N 1st St in the former Oakwood Eye Care facility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up a dancer, Varner was in jazz, tap, ballet, and pointe at Dance Dolls in Antwerp.&nbsp; Dance Dolls is where she found her passion for dancing and learned to master the fundamentals. Varner shared, \u201cOpening a dance studio has always been a dream of mine. Watching the studio that I grew up at close in May was hard. I decided now was the time to open my own. It was a quick decision, but it was such a good one to make! My students and their families are great. I\u2019m glad they trust me to help their kids learn the love of dance.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oakwood Dance Studio classes are open to children ages 3-12 in ballet and jazz. Varner also offers toddler classes for children ages 2-3.
