when they could step away from their home office and
get in a studio and dance, it just meant so much.”
Another aspect of their operations is fundraising,
which Stoner said they expected to take a huge hit, but
the community has really stepped up to help them raise
even more than they were expecting, to keep them
going. One of their biggest fundraisers of the year is
always the Marietta Dancing With the Stars, which
raises on average $45,000 each year. The 2020 Dancing
With the Stars took place on Feb. 1 last year, so they
were able to operate as usual, but this year’s date has yet
to be determined.
Still, the young owners have hope that their
students can perform to live audiences once again in the
near future, and are thankful everyday that they get to
live their dreams through their jobs.
“Owning this and being involved in dances is a
passion and there’s this sense of freedom that it gives me
personally that I don’t get anywhere else,” Stoner said. “I
think a lot of dancers will tell you that they didn’t choose
dance, dance chose them, and Ashleigh and I certainly
feel that way. I just feel at peace and at home whenever
I’m involved with anything dance, so to live in that
everyday with Ashleigh is just a dream.”
