The Studio

As you know, or don't know, I bought the dance studio that I have been teaching at for 9 years from the previous owner. At 23 years old, that is big step to take in life. We had our first week of practice this week and we had around 50 kids show up. I have 3 other girls that teach with me.

The building we were at for the past 3-4 years decided to sell. So, that meant we had to find a new location. I found a new spot on the highway that is a business center. The ceilings are lower than I had hoped for, but they have seemed to work pretty good.


I've been so nervous and have been losing sleep this past week because of this new venture. I went to school for Business Management, but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be owning a business this young.


My mom has helped me tremendously with bookwork and signing new students up. I have had some calls this week for more girls who want to join, so I am excited about that.



What is nice about the studio is that we only are open Monday-Thursday from 4-6:30 or 7:30. I can take Alden with me while I teach. I teach 3 days a week for a couple hours. I love it.


This year, we are going to start competing again. The studio hasn't competed since 2004, when I was dancing. So, it is time to start again. I'm very excited about that.


I think this will be a great addition to our "Family". Hopefully, it will make us a little extra (very much needed) money.
