Main Street got a little more vibrant this week with the official grand opening of Fearless Dance Company, a new studio bringing fresh energy, passion, and movement to the community. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by families, friends, students, and local leaders, including Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Karen Dunn-Kesnig, who praised the effort behind the new venture.
“I had a wonderful morning attending the Grand Opening of Fearless Dance Company in Center Moriches,” Dunn-Kesnig reported. “I also had the pleasure of presenting Owner and Director, Cassandra Scala, with a certificate on behalf of the Town of Brookhaven. It was clear to see the hard work, dedication, and heart that was put into the new studio, along with the support of the Chamber of Commerce, her family, and dance students and parents. Congratulations to everyone involved!”
Founded and directed by Cassandra Scala, a lifelong dancer and educator, the Center Moriches studio offers jazz, lyrical, technique, and choreography classes for students of all ages and levels. Scala brings over two decades of experience, having trained and competed at the highest levels, performed at prestigious venues, and led dancers to success in both recreational and competitive settings.
The event celebrated more than a new business—it was a testament to community spirit, family support, and the next chapter in a local dancer’s lifelong journey. With a mission to empower young minds through fearless expression, the studio is now enrolling for summer and fall sessions. For more information, go to fearless-dance-company.com
“This is about more than dance,” Scala said. “It’s about building confidence, character, and a space where kids can grow. I’m grateful to share this dream with the community I love.”
“It was great to see how many people attended the grand opening,” said Gerri Sapanaro with the Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches. “Cassandra has a lot of energy, and I know she will do well.” She has already become a chamber member, and the organization looks forward to working with her to help ensure her success, according to Sapanaro, whose Moriches Bay Realty office is just a few doors down.
