Did you know that although Halestone was founded in 1978 by Carol Winder (1978-1996), it only became a non-profit organization run by a board of volunteers in 2016?

Halestone has reached the honorable milestone of 10 years as a non-profit. In 2016, Halestone Foundation was created and purchased the Halestone business from Nancy Saylor (1996-2016).

We are GRATEFUL to the founding board members (pictured here in the studio before our Marley floor was installed) for navigating this transition. We are grateful to YOU, our community, for continuing to support our mission. And a big THANK YOU to our Artistic Coordinator Kathleen Gale. We wouldn't be here without the hard work and dedication of ALL of Halestone!

We can't wait to see you back in the studio soon! Check out www.halestone.com for fall class registration.

Congratulations to our graduating seniors! 🎓��🎉❤️

Congratulations to our graduating seniors! 🎓🎉❤️

We are absolutely buzzing after a fabulous performance weekend.

The cherry on top? We're thrilled to announce that we are one of Virginia Living's "Best of the Shenandoah Valley 2026"!!

Halestone says yes to creativity - yes to imagination - yes to the question "what if?".

Halestone says yes to collaboration - where instructors and dancers dream ideas in tandem.

And most importantly - Halestone is a place to connect, to join a community through dance.

Thank you to EVERYONE who worked tirelessly on our show! From building 6' geometric shapes, to sewing costumes, to pulling curtains, to selling merch, to wrangling littles backstage, to dancing on the stage, and clapping in the audience.

A HUGE SHOUTOUT to Kathleen for her artistic vision, boundless creativity, and dance excellence.

We hope you join us in the fall for a fresh new season together! (p.s. current dancers, you still have in-studio class this week!).

Happy Mother’s Day from Halestone! Did you know our Adult Ensemble is coined “the mom group” by some of our adult dancers’ kids (many of whom dance with Halestone, too?).

According to one member, “In the midst of my busy schedule, I cherish this opportunity once a week to move my body and focus on my health. And I love that I can do it as part of a community and under the guidance of an exceptional teacher!”

Adult Ensemble is taught by Halestone founder Nancy Saylor and is open to anyone 18+ (not limited to moms! 😉). Check out all of our dancers perform on May 16th at 7 pm and May 17th at 3 pm. Go to Halestone.com/events for tickets. #halestonedancestudio
