Wow! The first year of owning a dance studio went quickly! But I can understand why it did. In addition to offering a variety of dance and fitness classes we also held the following events:
- Two afternoons of free sampler classes (A Taste of Dance and Get Fit 2012)
- Official Grand Opening
- Two Balletone Instructor Workshops
- Three Ballet Master Classes with NYC Ballet dancer Andrew Scordato
- Several Balletone workshops offered through Capital District Physician’s Health Plan
- Broadway Jazz performing opportunity
The second year has already started ad we’ve added more classes including Jazz Funk and Modern Dance. And we already have the following events on the calendar:
- 1st Anniversary Celebration , 9/14/12, 4-9pm
- Field trip to American Ballet Theatre at Bard College, 10/6/12, 2pm
- Master Ballet Class with NYC Ballet dancer Andrew Scordato, 10/21/12, 11:45am-1pm
We’re also hoping to hold different types of master classes this year. Plans are also in progress for a performing opportunity in a local production of the Nutcracker.
I’m having fun offering all these special classes and workshops, but what I really love is teaching. I’ve had the chance to work with many wonderful students. It brings me great joy to see them improve over time and to know that they are having fun.
I’m ready for the second year!
