GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — A central Nebraska dance studio that announced it was closing last month is back in business, with help from a local church.
The Heartland School of Dance will remain in downtown Grand Island, but in a new building.
Owner Karen Jamieson announced in June that her second-floor studio was closing because the building’s owner, a law firm, needed more space for record storage. The studio has been in business for more than 60 years at the same location.
New Life Community Church board member Steve Johnson says he read about the closure in the newspaper and reached out to Jamieson. Board members agreed to offer her a lease for space in the church building, across an alley from the old location.
