Cheryl Burke Dance Closing Peninsula Studio

News from Cheryl Burke Dance in Mountain View:

Cheryl Burke Dance is closing its 14,000-square-foot ballroom complex at 1400 North Shoreline Boulevard in Mountain View on Sept. 30.

Founded in 2009 and a popular dance venue, the ballroom will continue lessons, weekend dances, and events until the closing date.

Studio co-founder Cheryl Burke, Emmy-nominated and award-winning celebrity dancer, will appear at two special events: a “Farewell Party,” on Saturday, Sept. 12, and a “Twilight Tea Last Dance” on Sunday, Sept. 13.

The Saturday party is set for 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., and the Sunday dance, featuring music by popular disc jockey Larry Brillante, starts at 7 p.m. and continues until midnight.

A “Final Showcase” is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 27, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Students and instructors will perform routines that reflect the dedication needed to master American and International ballroom styles, including smooth dances, Latin, and Swing.

To get tickets for the farewell events, call (650) 864-9150.

“We are forever grateful for lease extensions granted by LinkedIn, our generous landlord since the beginning of this year,” said Sherri Burke, Cheryl Burke Dance CEO and co-founder. “But the company finally needs our space, along with others nearby, to complete its expansion plans.”
