Founded by Laci Chisholm, Fit4Dance offers a diverse range of dance and fitness classes designed to inspire and empower individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. Our mission is to create a supportive and welcoming environment where everyone can experience the joy of movement and the transformative power of dance.

Our studio boasts a wide array of classes, including traditional ballet, modern, jazz, hip-hop, Haitian folklore, and contemporary styles, ensuring there's something for everyone. Additionally, we offer specialized fitness classes such as yoga, stretching, and pilates, all designed to improve physical health and mental well-being. Our experienced and passionate instructors are not only skilled dancers but also dedicated educators committed to providing high-quality instruction and personalized attention to each student.

What sets Fit4Dance apart from other studios is our strong commitment to community engagement and social impact. We regularly host community events, workshops, and performances that bring people together and celebrate the rich cultural diversity of our neighborhood. Our studio is a hub for creativity, connection, and mutual support, where individuals can form lasting friendships and find a sense of belonging.

In addition to our dance and fitness offerings, Fit4Dance is deeply involved in various community service initiatives. We organize back-to-school drives, sanitary products drives for incarcerated women, and volunteer at local parks, senior centers, and shelters. These efforts reflect our dedication to giving back and supporting those in need within our community.

We’re proud to be a Certified B Corporation. B Corporations are a new kind of company which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. There are over 1,000 Certified B Corporations from more than 60 industries in 34 countries with 1 unifying goal – to redefine success in business. B Corps are important because they inspire all businesses to compete not only to be the best in the world, but to be the best for the world. Certified B Corporations meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. It’s like Fair Trade certification but for the whole business, not just a bag of coffee (or USDA Organic certification, but not just for a carton of milk; or LEED certification, but not just for a building). The performance standards are comprehensive and transparent. They measure a company’s impact on all its stakeholders (e.g. workers, suppliers, community, and the environment). Unlike traditional corporations, Certified B Corporations are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions not only on their shareholders, but also on their stakeholders (e.g., workers, suppliers, community, consumers, and the environment).

We're committed to supporting our community. We source over 50% of our supplies locally, partnering with independent businesses. This isn't just business; it's investing in our neighbors and strengthening our local economy. We are making a difference, one dance step at a time.
