Three ballerinas entertain those gathered Sunday at last weekend’s Ronnie’s Academy of Dance’s 30th anniversary celebration “A Blast from the Past.”

CRYSTAL RIVER - It has been a long dance for Ryan Bogart and Ronnie Duurloo Bogart, and the music is not over.

They own and operate Ronnie’s Academy of Dance, a Crystal River business marking its 30th anniversary.

At first it was called Ronnie’s Lessons and Dance back in 1983 when the Crystal River High School Class of ’79 grad was already a veteran in the business.

She started teaching in 1977 at the La Petite School of Dance in Crystal River and had been dancing professionally since age 16.
