Continuing our Small Business celebration, we're spotlighting Dick Barker School of Dance—a Ludlow institution with over six decades of impact. 🩰
From student to owner, Jenna's 38-year journey with the studio embodies true passion. Starting as a 4-year-old dancer, becoming an assistant teacher, and eventually taking ownership in 2018, she's preserving the studio's legacy as Ludlow's longest-running dance school while creating a welcoming space for students of all abilities.
Our team at New Valley Bank partnered with Jenna on her vision for growth. Together, we've worked to make what once seemed like a distant dream—relocating to a more spacious, desirable location—achievable sooner than expected.
The expanded location will allow for more classes and students, with future plans to create a comprehensive center for families offering arts education, health services, and self-care all under one roof.
