Houston Dance Works (HDW) owner Autumn Rosemond has come a long way since June 2011, when she hosted its first classes in the Candlelight Community Center. We started with 20 kids at that first class and built from the ground up, Rosemond said. We continuously grew.
The studio moved to the former Third Coast Theater until it outgrew that space, and then to classroom space at 3500 E. T.C. Jester Blvd. Over time, Rosemond has since doubled the space at that location and helped 3,000 students pursue their dance goals. Still, she says she is mindful of growing organically.
âI never wanted to lose touch with our families by doing too much too soon,â she said.
