Dancer and choreographer Martha Graham once said, “Great dancers are great because of their passion.” The passion of their dance teachers both equals and surpasses this. It is this passion that set Brooklyn Ross and Emma Haggit onto the path of opening their own dance studio, Breaking Elements Dance Company, in Tavistock. Opening March 18th, 2025, classes have been in session since September 2024, taking place first at Trinity Lutheran Church in Tavistock, and currently at Memorial Hall. Renovations have been taking place to create a welcoming space at their new home in the old Francis Building. The Grand Opening is set to take place in April, so stay tuned! https://ruraloxford.ca/breaking-elements-dance-company-a-passion-for-dance/
