Gulf Coast Ballet, 2924 Hyde Park St, Sarasota, FL 34239, US

This popular Hyde Park dance studio on Platt Street is as committed to students who want to pursue a professional dance career as it is to children who just want to enjoy ballet, tap, jazz and modern dance. Atelier's director, Sandra Sears, who has been dancing since she was 3 years old, has provided choreography for the Macy's Day Parade in New York City along with several local high schools. Many students have gone on to become teachers in the Hillsborough County school district and across the country.
