Dance has long been an important form of creative expression and physical activity, an outlet that nurtures artistry, builds discipline, and strengthens both mind and body. Whether practiced professionally or pursued as a personal passion, dance creates a space where people of all ages can explore movement, culture, and community. It is this spirit that Imperial Dance Studio brings to life.
The 100-square-meter dance hall offers a multidisciplinary program covering a wide range of dance styles. Initially opened on October 15, the studio is located on the second level of the San Marco Wing at Venice Grand Canal Mall.
The venture is headed by owner Milai Imperial, a former member of the UP Filipiniana Dance Group in Diliman, Quezon City, and a former member of Douglas Nierras Powerdance before she joined Hong Kong Disneyland.
Imperial Dance Studio offers classes in Jazz, K-pop, Ballet, Aerial, Hip-hop, Ballroom, Gymnastics, Dance Fitness, Contemporary, and Cultural Dance.
“What makes our studio unique is that we teach cultural dances, Filipino martial arts, and the art of Arnis,” Imperial shared.
Imperial is married to Franz Gerald Imperial, a theater actor and international performer. Both previously performed at Disneyland Singapore and are now raising their two children while continuing to pursue their passion for the arts.
The studio celebrated its grand opening on Saturday, November 22, marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by family, friends, and supporters.
