On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, we welcomed a lion dance into the studio for a blessing. After our recent move to Chinatown, it felt especially meaningful to mark this new chapter by honoring a tradition deeply rooted in the neighborhood we now call home.
This Lunar New Year marks the Year of the Horse — a symbol of strength, independence, and forward momentum. As the year begins, we move forward with that energy.
HAVE FUN AND GREAT TIME, FULL OF JOY AND CELEBRATION WITH YOUR BELOVED ONES!
Jelena Behrend Studio is excited to announce our new location in the historic 206 Bowery. Built in circa 1810 after the Revolution, 206 Bowery House has seen many tenants. The building, one of the last surviving federal homes on the Bowery, was on the brink of demolition before it was calendared to become a City Landmark in 2010. 206 Bowery House is still awaiting its Landmark status. In the meantime, Jelena Behrend Studio is delighted to take part in 206 Bowery’s over 200-year history.
