Broadway Bound Dance Studio
Every child can dream, every child can dance.
OWNER AND INSTRUCTORS
Hope Richards is the Owner/ Founder of Broadway Bound Dance Studio. It was her dream to open a studio where every child could be given the opportunity to dance, no matter their economic situation. This was a dream that became a reality, currently serving over 75 families in Marshall, MO. She credits the success of the studio to hard work, teamwork, parent support, high expectations of dancers, and a Head Instructor/Competition Team Director that pushes each child to their full potential, whether they are recreational or competitive. And the most important ingredient of all to a successful studio...loving each child completely.
