JANUARY – 2026

Welcome to 2026 — 20 Years of Main St Funk 🧡

As we step into 2026, we’re excited to officially welcome a very special year at Main St Funk — our 20th year of dancing.

After an incredible 2025 filled with growth, creativity, and community, we’re kicking off 2026 with momentum, intention, and plenty to look forward to. Thank you to all our dancers and families who continue to bring energy, commitment, and heart into our studio — you are what makes Main St Funk what it is.

Enrolments for 2026

To celebrate our 20th year, we’ve launched a jam-packed 2026 timetable with exciting new class options and increased flexibility for families.

Some classes are already full or close to capacity, and once a class is full, we’re unable to add extra spots. Families are encouraged to enrol early to secure their preferred classes.

👉 Enrol via the app:

or contact us via email if you need assistance.

What’s New at MSF?

At Main St Funk, we’re proud to take a progressive, thoughtful approach to dance education. In 2026, we’ve expanded that conversation beyond the studio with the launch of our new Substack publication — Orange Stack.

Orange Stack is a space where we share insight and perspective on dance, education, inclusion, and belonging. Our first three articles are now live:

  • What Does It Mean to Be a Genuinely Inclusive Dance Studio?

  • Why We Don’t Give Out Awards at Main St Funk

  • Your Child’s Third Place

We’ll continue sharing behind-the-scenes moments, memories, and studio updates across our social channels throughout the year.
