    Epic Dance Studios offers a wide range of dance styles for kids and people of all ages. They have worked hard to take down the barriers that often keep people from trying dance like money, age and disability. This Saturday, December 2nd they will be performing "Epic Holidaze!" at The Lerner Theatre in Eklhart. It's a fun celebration that explores the chaos of the season. Kelly talked with Founder/Director Stephanie Pairitz about why she started Epic Dance Studio, and some of the students gave us a sneak peak at their performance.
