In 2007, Ms. Maury sold the Studio and Georgia Youth Ballet to Randi Lancaster, a Maury protégé, former GYB student and professional dancer. Ms. Randi strives to give her students the best possible dance education and exposes them to master teachers from all over the world. Past Master teachers at The Studio have included: Finis Jhung, Elie Lazar, Laura Alonso, Vladimir Issaev, Jessica Mylene, Magda Aunon, Magaly Suarez, Webster Smith, Thom Clower, Maria Chapman and many others.
