In
2005, my mother Cathy and I set out to create a space where I could
teach Highland dance and she could house her established piano
business. We wanted a comfortable convenient studio where
families felt welcome, instructors were encouraged and students could
grow.
We are very proud to welcome you to that studio...

The Owners
Sara Gilchrist, Directing Partner
Sara has been teaching highland dance since 1998. Her vision for
the studio was born while earning her business degree at The Ohio State
University. Her original plan focused on a multi-discipline
school of ethnic dance but this was expanded to incorporate Cathy's
desires for a music program.
Sara has taught herself to design logos, business cards, stationary,
print pieces and Web sites. Teaching other entrepreneurs to access the
resources around them and execute marketing on a budget has become as
much a passion as Highland Dance.
Cathy Gilchrist, Administrative Partner
Cathy has been a local piano instructor since 1980. In 2005, she
moved her home-based piano business into the studio. She holds a
Bachelors of Music Education degree from The Ohio State University.
The Studio
A quaint brick building on Dover Center Road (across from Malley's)
proved to be the ideal location for Sara and Cathy's Independent
Studios.
In designing the interior spaces for the studio, the
mother-daughter team strived to infuse a home-like atmosphere while
keeping function top of mind.
In 2007, the Studio expanded into the adjacent storefront gaining 1,000
sq. ft and a space that allows the studio to offer larger yoga and
pilates classes.
The Studio's doors are always open to those who would like to stop by
and ask questions, view the studio and learn more about the available
programs. The Studio is also open to suggestions on new program
offerings.
