OMG Classes Start on Monday!

Our first session of classes is starting this coming Monday!  It is hard to believe that we are at this point already, but I think everything is going to go well.  The studio is looking awesome (I'll post pics as soon as I take some) and registrations are coming in every day.  This session isn't going to have a full schedule, which makes it a it less intimidating.  That way any issues that come up can turn into valuable information we can use when we have our grand opening in January.

Speaking of the grand opening, on January 8th we will be having a day full of free mini-lessons followed by an evening of dance demonstrations and socialization.  Right now we are determining what classes will be taught and the schedule specifics, so when then details are firmed up I will be sure to post them.

So much progress!

We are getting closer and closer to opening the studio for classes in November, and the space is really starting to come together!  Walls have been painted, mirrors are up, desk and computer and are hooked up, and stereo system is set up.  All we have left is to finish decorating and do some minor touchups and we will be ready for business.  The space looks really amazing and it will be even more wonderful when we have the dance floor put in.  Come on out for our first session of classes and see it for yourself.  Info about classes and studio events are at www.worldinmotiondance.com.  So exciting!

Why start a dance studio?

The idea to create a dance space dedicated to the instruction of dances from around the globe has been germinating for quite some time.  Now all the stars seem to have aligned and we are seizing the opportunity to make this dream a reality.  Some of our reasons are based on personal desire for a better and more convienient space to hold classes, but many of the reasons are based on needs that the community has.  The  number of quality spaces out there for instructors to hold classes are few and far between.  There is no community home in the triangle for dance styles that aren't part of the mainstream dance culture.  Now, this is not the place where we are going to spout off why our business is going to be the solution to all the problems ever conceived and give a blow by blow description of our business plan (no one wants to read that!)  Instead, we'd like to catalog our efforts to bring a dance space into the area that will focus on cultivating a community for students and instructors of world dance.  A lofty goal to be sure, but one we are dedicated to making into a reality.

Welcome!

Welcome to the World In Motion blog!  Here we will chronicle the adventure of starting a new dance studio, and the excitement and frustration that inevitably will accompany it.  Join us in this journey to create a new dance space in the triangle area where world dance can be explored in a fun and welcoming atmosphere!
