HISTORY 1969-1984: The Tricia Sloan Dance Center grew from the Leonardo Dance Studio that opened in 1969. Tricia's mom, Patty ran this school for thirty years. The first location was in the basement of her parent's home on DuBois Avenue in Woodbury.    1985-1999: In 1985 the school moved to the little church across from the present location on Mantua Avenue in Wenonah.  It stayed at that location until the Spring of 1999.   1999-2006: In the spring of 1999 plans were made to relocate across the street in the historic Grosscup Building. Tricia along with parents, Patty and Jim designed the new 2,500 square foot facility.  The site of the studio dates back to the turn of the 19th century. The building was once an A & P Store, a deli, an antique shop, and an art/framing shop.   There are two large sun-filled dance studios. The rooms are spacious and have 12 foot high ceilings. Both rooms are equipped with professional dance floors, an abundance of mirrors and 2 cameras, which project the studio activity to 2 LCD monitors in the waiting area.   There is a  reception area, changing room, two lavatories, dancewear boutique and a drinking fountain. The entire space is air-conditioned and handicap accessible. Lots of parking and easy accessibility for dropping off students...   Summer 2006 - Future: Expansion into adjacent space in the Grosscup Building is planned for the summer of 2006.  An additional 1,2000 square will be added to existing space, which will bring the total square footage to over 3,700 sq. ft.   The new space will provide another dance studio with 600 sq. ft. and a larger office and dancewear boutique.  The existing office area will become a larger reception and waiting area for parents and students. This additional space will also provide more dance classes including adult exercise and ballroom.
