Launched from a Garage, Local Dance Studio Shines The name Garage dance came from Bernard Holmes (BJ) dancing out of his mother’s one story house garage. Every dance that BJ choreographed came out of the garage from the dance routines, to the sessions, to just having friends come over and dance. At one point, the Garage became the neighborhood kick it spot, everyone would come over to check out the different dances that was being shown and taught. The Garage became so neighborhood popular that BJ began turning the Garage Into an actual studio, placing mirrors up a carpet down. Bernard (BJ) always used to tell himself that if were to ever have the opportunity to open an actual Dance studio, he would name it The Garage Dance Studio and not only teach dance, but teach life skills as well. After many years of BJ dancing, choreographing and being true to his art, He finally got that shot to open his very own dance studio. The Garage dance studio is a majority Hip Hop driven studio with a dash of other styles. This studio is more of a performing arts facility that strides on technique, style, and strength. The Garage Dance Studio is located in Colton, California, a small city in the Inland Empire. “I pride myself on helping our youth that loves to dance but doesn’t know where to go and doesn’t have a lot of money to support their dance goals,” BJ says. The Garage Dance Studio welcomes kids from all ages and encourages them to push themselves to the level of trying out for the Dance team (Xager8 dance crew). After all said and done, BJ plans on taking the studio to the next level, upgrading the studio to the garage Dance Academy but for now, he will continue to build and grow the studio and the kids. Xager8 Dance crew is a 2 team crew, from 8 to 18 years old. The advance dance crew is Xager8 Elite, but they all consider themselves as one big team and family. The Garage Dance Studio has absolutely grown since the team and from then, Xager8 Dance crew has had major opportunities to perform, performing for Ontario Reign
Hockey team at the Citizen’s Bank Arena, located in Ontario, Ca. There is much more in store for The Garage Dance Studio and Xager8 Dance Crew so until that breakthrough happens, BJ will continue to build the business and everything else will fall into place. The benefit to making The Garage Dance studio your home studio is growth guarantee, a family based environment, and an overall learning experience each and every time you enter the studio.
