Where It All Began

This is the original dance barn, a converted shed on my farm. (The Dance Barn sounded better than The Dance Shed, or the The Dance Shack, and the shed is right behind the real barn, so I figured it worked.)

I taught two sessions of classes this year which were open to our homeschool group and others we knew personally. We offered creative movement, jazz, and tap classes. The dance floor itself is only 400 square feet (think 12 sheets of plywood), there was no bathroom, and in the winter we heated the uninsulated building with a woodstove.

Needless to say, we are so happy to be moving into our 2,000 square foot space with a separate lobby and dance studio, two (!!!) bathrooms, and central air. More pictures and posts to come as I figure out how to use Blogger!

Welcome to The Dance Barn Blog!

Hello world! Welcome to the official blog of The Dance Barn, LLC! This is a place where we can post events, information, and pictures from all our activities. I hope to update every day, especially right now as we are getting started. Please take a moment to check out the rest of our website at www.dancebarn.net to see what we have planned for the next few months.

If you are local to central Virginia, come to our Open House on Saturday, April 19th from 10 am to 3 pm. This is a chance to meet us, see our beautiful new studio space, take a sample class, see a short performance, and register for spring classes. There will be light refreshments and activities for kids.

Please check back soon for posts on how we got started, our dreams and goals, and of course, PICTURES!
