About Alvas
Our history started in 1952 with a love story between Rosalie and Alva. They met in 1940 while dancing at the Miramar Hotel and started their career as a dance team in 1941, the year they were married. They pioneered in television, theatre and several motion pictures together. They worked as a team from 1941 to 1956, traveling in the United States and abroad.
In 1952, Alva built Rosalie her own beautiful dance studio and theatre in San Pedro, California. Here, they settled down to a teaching career performing in their own productions. Over 30 years ago, Alva retired and passed the company to his son, Matt, on April 24, 1985.
In true entrepreneurial spirit, Matt has expanded the original studio into multiple studios and Alvas Barres Floors Mirrors was born.
