SU Alumni and former Dancing Doll plans to open Dance Studio

Dawnielle Pollard, a 2009 graduate of Southern University and A&M College plans to open “Mirror Me Dance Studio” for business on March 1. Pollard is a one-year Gold N Blue, and a three-year Dancing Doll of the Southern University Dancing Dolls.
Dancing since the age of 12, Broussard wanted to share her skills and love for dance with others. Mirror Me has a mission to give a quality dance foundation that promotes a learning environment for the art of dance.
Mirror Me offers many services to all age groups, races and both genders, at a reasonable price, according to Pollard.
“ After doing research, I found that prices at other studios are pretty high, and that most studios offer services for girls 18 and under,” said Pollard. We even accept boys,” finished Pollard.
After being asked “what inspired her,” Pollard responded saying, “ I noticed that there is no where in Baton Rouge where dancers can just go and brush up on their skills, in between classes, auditions, and dance seasons. Also, it is normal for dance studios to be catered to children, but I wanted one that catered to ages 18 and up,” finished Pollard. Mirror Me offers one hour courses of all genres of dance, including Tap, Ballet, and Contemporary.
“It is mandatory that all mini and modern movers be enrolled in ballet, because it has the basic foundation for any other genre,” said Pollard.
There are three different age ranges, including Mini Movers ages 4-12, Modern Movers ages 13-17, and Mega Movers ages 18 and up.
To give students who aren’t enrolled the opportunity to take classes, Pollard has incorporated drop in rates, which allows an a guest to take a one hour course for 20 dollars.
Providing a well-rounded experience, Mirror Me currently has a full staff of 9 employees, including experienced and former dancers from the Saintsations, Voodoo Dolls, SU Dancing Dolls, and dancers that have worked with Debbie Allen.
Mirror Me handles all transactions electronically, including money orders, no cash will be accepted.
