fireWALL dance theater

Over 3 years moving and grooving at this wonderful establishment. I started taking classes at firewall in 2021. I began my “work” study in 2024. “Work” is in quotations because it has never felt like work. I sweep the floors with the same care and attention that I love the space with. I check-in dancers with the same welcoming energy that I received when I first met Elisa 3 years ago. I enter class with the energy of making dance what it should be: It’s about community. When you step through the door, you will feel accepted and loved and valued for what makes you unique. You will be challenged and pushed to be stronger and more vulnerable. Elisa is very strict about who teaches here because the comfort and safety of the dancers takes priority, so you can join any class feeling confident that you’ll be taken good care of, because that’s what families do. If I wasn’t moving away, I would be here every Saturday til I dropped. Can’t thank my Fire Fam enough for all the lessons, and for teaching me how to love myself.

I loved everything about this studio. It felt so homey and Elisa was so welcoming. The beginners technique class was a little hard for me, but everyone made me feel more comfortable by encouraging me and reassuring that it’s a beginners class and I’m doing good. I love everything about firewall, if you’re thinking about going, just do it.

My daughter Preslie absolutely loves taking classes at Firewall! Shayla Pringle always brings fire combos. I do want to say how much we appreciate Elisa! Elisa, thank you for providing a space that is kind. Your recent support at the winter intensive is so appreciated! Thank you for everything!

Firewall is the best! I used to come here a lot when my school schedule allowed for it (I miss y’all 🥲) They have many levels and styles of dance, so there is something for everyone. The instructors are amazing teachers and people: positive, energetic, inspiring. I always feel physically pushed and refreshed coming out of class. I’m grateful for this studio and look forward to returning in the new year !

I love Firewall. I started 4 years ago at the age of 60 to tap. Elisa is the most wonderful teacher. Patient and positive. She has given me so much joy and confidence. I have performed in front of others. The studio has such an amazing energy. All the young dancers cheer me on!!!! I am trying contemporary dance! It brings me such joy.
