Jump, Jive, and . . . Spin?
By Terry Louderback
Three local businesses are
expanding their offerings this
spring to the 38002 area.
Lisa McGrory, a Lakeland
resident and owner of Memphis Elite Cheer and Dance
in Cordova, has turned her
former CSI gym location in
Arlington into “Jump N’
Jamz,” and inflatable play
space. With its Grand Opening set for March 28, Jump N
Jamz will cater primarily to
the birthday party crowd, but
also offers open play for preschool children on Tuesday
and Wednesday mornings.
Jump N’ Jamz is
McGrory’s first venture into
the inflatable party market
after 12 years in Lakeland
and then Arlington with CSI,
McGrory purchased Memphis Elite in 2013 and moved
her Arlington Elite competitive cheer team to the Cordova location. Jump N’ Jamz
is located at 12130 Arlington
Trail (867-2169).
After 10 years,
Arlington Dance
Arts will be leaving
its Depot Square
location for bigger
digs in the Arlington
Collection. Located
next to Bellevue Arlington,
the new space will contain a
larger dance studio and two
music studio rooms.
Brandy Stover-Griffith,
owner of Dance Arts commented that after the move,
the 14 year old company will
“hopes to add homeschool
classes during the day and
pom/cheer technique class on
the weekend.”
Dance Arts plans to be in
its new space by May1,
Stover-Griffith said, and a
Grand Opening will be held
in mid-May. The new studio
is located at 11695 Hwy. 70,
Arlington (864-8844).
LiveFit Studio, owned by
long-time Arlington resident
Adina Wiseman, will be
expanding into the former
Dance Arts building in Depot
Square. Wiseman plans to
almost double the total number of class offerings after the
June 1 Grand Opening.
After moving into the
1600 sq. ft. building, Wiseman will expand her indoorclasses to include spinning,
barre, and pilates classes in
addition to TRX. Boot Camp
will continue in the Farmer’s
Market space and outside. In
Depot Square.
LiveFit Studio is located
at 12028 Walker Street,
Arlington (484-5490).
