The former Starbound Dance Studio was reopened as Rhythm Elements Dance Studio in its same Porterdale location Saturday. Four parents of dancers who trained under Valerie Odom, before she suddenly shuttered Starbound’s doors without repayment, teamed up with the owners of Rhythm Elements in Porterdale to give their children back a place to dance.
