CoffeeMill Dance Studio to offer informal performances during Walk on White with “hIPSO facto”

CoffeeMill Dance Studio, Key West’s premier instructional dance studio for  37 years, joins the “Walk on White” gallery stroll with an open house and free live dance presentation at their 804 White Street studio, The Annex.  Hosted by CoffeeMill Dance Studio Founder Penny Leto, the February 20 “hIPSO facto” salon of dance begins at 8:00pm sharp, with doors opening at 7:45pm.

The monthly event gives audiences a glimpse of the work underway at the studio’s two locations, featuring performances and demonstrations from students, teachers, YDC members, and more.  This month’s performance will feature new Belly dance choreographed by The Southernmost Shimmies and led by Artistic Director Judith Sahirah Cisneros, who teaches at the studio on Monday Evenings at 7:00pm, Salsa and Zumba demonstrations, and more.  Light refreshments will be served.

“We are so happy to be part of this wonderful monthly event that recognizes creativity,” says Leto. “It’s a great opportunity for us to share the art of dance and connect with our island community.”

A cultural haven in the dance community, the CoffeeMill offers professional dance instruction for all ages and skill levels with weekly classes in Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Modern, Contemporary, Tap, Lyrical, HipHop, and Creative Movement, along with workshops, private lessons, performance opportunities, and recreational classes for adults. Instructors lead with a blend of discipline and fun, allowing students to explore, enjoy, and grow while cultivating an awareness and understanding of movement, rhythm, choreography, and connection to classmates.

While the evening is free and open to the public, any donations will support the Young Dance Collective (YDC), the studio’s non-profit and pre-professional dance company comprised of student dancers ages 8-17 that have garnered numerous awards at NUVO Dance Competition in Orlando.
