A new dance and yoga studio is set to open in downtown Henderson, Kentucky in hopes of encouraging everyone, young and old, to get up and move their bodies.

A Passion Reignited

After years of participating in dance teams all through school, Henderson native, Amanda Tapp, says that her passion for dance was reignited when she moved away for a couple of years. Now that she is back home in Henderson, she hopes to share her love of dance and yoga with the community by offering a fun and uplifting atmosphere where people of all ages can participate.

I have always wanted to have my own space as an outlet to give others like myself who get caught up living day to day and neglect themselves and their joys. I felt Henderson could benefit from having a environment that allows the freedom to release and heal oneself through movement without the fear of being judged. - Amanda Tapp

Xpress Movement & Dance

Amanda's passion for dance and yoga, and her desire to share that passion with others has led to the creation of Xpress Movement & Dance, located inside Studio 3, on the second floor above Hometown Roots at 136 2nd Street.

Relive 1980s Elementary School Gym Class

If you are a Generation X or Millenial like me, you likely have some strong memories of gym class. Either you loved it or hated it. I made some fun memories and built character and muscle, but I'm really glad I never have to go back and face some of these things again! And I know my teachers did their best to make gym enjoyable and teach us life skills. They succeeded - this is all in good fun. And, hopefully, future generations will get to thoroughly enjoy some of these as much as I did!
