The Melba Morris ballet studio has been operating in Echo Park since 1988, but Thursday (August 25, 2010) will be the studio’s last day open.

The message on the answering machine says that the Echo Park location will be closing, and that the future location of the studio is uncertain. Melba may be doing some private coaching but will not likely be teaching on a daily basis.

Ms. Morris has been offering low-cost ballet and dance classes to the area for over 20 years. It’s a little sad to see the studio close, but we wish her the best of luck!
