Three Things!

Hello world! Have you missed me? I have three fabulous things to share with you...sadly, no picture today, but I am running on less than three hours of sleep and have been up since 5 am, so you must forgive me for forgetting my camera.

Last week was our first week of Summer Dance Camps! We ran the Creative Dance Camp and the Exploring Dance Camp for ages 8 and up. Both went very well. I am always amazed at the creativity of the three and four year olds when they are given the chance to dance however they like. Next week we will run another Creative Dance Camp, and a Ballet Camp, which I am thinking of combining for all ages.

Today was the first day of our Hip Hop Workshop series. Both classes had five students, and Matt Steffanina taught a great class. Matt is a fantastic dancer and a dynamic teacher, and he really worked those students! The next workshop will be July 26th. I wasn't able to take his class today, but I am definitely taking it next time!

Lastly, I think I have finalized the fall schedule. It took so much finagling, and I may still have to make changes, but I have a schedule that I think will be really good for our first year! It's crazy, though, because even though I know I can make changes if I have to, it feels like once I tell everyone when classes are that I need to stick to it. And making a schedule with no idea of which classes will work best in which times is a tad nerve wracking! Ah, the excitement of the first year of being in business!

So those are my three things, and I'm sure I will have more as the summer progresses. Stay tuned! Pictures to follow as soon as I get my act together!
