IT'S TIME TO "TURN IT OUT"

Former pupil taking Dance Dimensions in new direction

WHEELING Dance Dimensions has been the name in dance in the Ohio Valley for nearly 30 years.

But when longtime owner Charlotte Berisford decided it was time to retire, it threatened to create a void in the local performing arts community.

Fortunately, one of Berisford's most decorated proteges was ready transition from performance into teaching and was willing to continue the tradition started at the Wheeling location so many years ago.

"We will carry on the Dance Dimensions tradition, but what a better way to start a new chapter than with a new name,'' said Mandy Baker, the new owner of what is now Turn It Out Dance Academy at 96 Washington Ave. in Wheeling.
