Keep Dancing: Aid for Legacy Dance Center

I'm Stephanie Mayberry, co-owner of Studio 68 for Dance and Performing Arts and Studio 68 Cares in Wilkesboro NC. At S68, we believe that dance can change lives and that dance friends are forever friends. Right now, some of our very dear friends are in need.

You are likely familiar with the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene in Western NC? Legacy Dance Center in Clyde, NC is the pride and joy of our dear friend Hayley Justice. Her story is beautiful and it involves her lovely teacher Angie, who we've known and loved forever, too. Hayley's dream, her beautiful studio is completely flooded. They've lost everything. All the floors, mirrors, music...all the tiny tutus, tap shoes and photo albums. Restoration will take months and way more money than insurance will provide.

In the meantime, they're looking for rental property and hoping to get their dancers back to class as soon as possible...which is exactly the normalcy so many of their kids will need.

Our hope through Studio 68 Cares is to provide Hayley and her Legacy dancers with anything they need to keep dancing - immediately and as they rebuild.
