DD, our beloved Tutti cat! DD, which in Chinese means “the little brother”, is a handsome and friendly feline who loves to roam around the studio and greet all of our students and clients. He doesn’t like petting much, but he likes to watch people sometimes. DD is also a musical boy – he has an ear for good tunes and often goes to the room where there is nice music playing. He has become an integral part of our studio culture and is adored by everyone who meets him. DD has a calming presence that helps to alleviate any stress in the studio. We are so lucky to have DD as a member of our team and we can’t imagine our studio without him. If you ever come to visit us, be sure to say hello to our furry friend!
