LOS ANGELES — Two dance studios that provide space for joy, celebration and movement for their communities found themselves instead at the center of tragedy over the weekend.
Star Dance Studio, based in the Los Angeles suburb of Monterey Park, was hosting a dance Saturday night when a suspected gunman entered the facility and allegedly shot 20 people, killing 10.
The current owner of Star Dance Studio, Maria Liang, is of Asian descent, having moved to the United States from China in 1987 to study business at Cal State University in Los Angeles, according to her bio on the studio's website. A Star Dance Studio student who was there at the time of the shooting said she had danced with the same partner every week at the studio for about 10 years.
"What should have been a festive night to welcome the first day of the Lunar New Year turned into a tragedy. Our heart goes out to all the victims, survivors, and their families," the post read."In this time of healing, we hope that all those who were affected have the space to grieve and process what transpired within the last 24 hours. In the meantime, all classes will be canceled and studio will be closed until further notice.
Brandon Tsay, who helps run the dance hall with his family, told ABC News' Robin Roberts he spotted the gunman and sprang into action.
