The First Week

Totally unrelated photo again of my two older daughters, who begged me to take a series of them in dance poses "for the studio." This would be arabesque.

The first week of being open went really well, I think. Classes were fun, and we are still taking registrations so we may pick up a few new students this week. But the unexpectedly exciting day of the week was Thursday, when 16 people showed up to our Social Dance Night! (I promise to post photos soon, but they are on my sister's camera.) Mr T is such a great teacher (I hadn't watched him teach a group class in six years, and he's really come into his own as an instructor) and everyone who came said they enjoyed it and would come back. Several people said they had friends who were interested as well!

This week I am running a Homeschool Dance Camp. I didn't think I had enough students to run both age groups, so I combined them, but then I think I picked up a fe new students today, and so we may have eight in that class. I just went over the curriculum, and I am quite excited to teach this week. The students will get a class in a different style of dance each day, starting with a brief history and some photos to give them a fuller vision of the style. We're doing ballet, jazz, modern, tap, and ballroom, in that order. A dance sampler, if you will. I think it's going to be a blast.
