Sydney Needle owns the dance studio which was originally started by her grandmother in 1984. The studio offers a range of dance classes, including jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, and ballet to girls, boys and young women. The studio also offers ACRO training, which Needle describes as a combination of tumbling moves and flexibility integrated within the dance moves. Needle was an accomplished gymnast, rising to a Level 10 designation during her competition career.

Maryland Arts eXplosion has five dance teachers, holds class sessions after school and during the weekends, and participates in both local and out-of-state competition which takes the youngsters to places such as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

“We like to say our program helps create good people,” Needle said. “It requires tremendous discipline and determination to master some of the dance moves we teach and young people can transfer these lessons to their everyday life.”

Danielle Bridge, Leasing Manager for Hill Management Services Inc. represented the landlord in this transaction.
