Dance Studio
I took the long drive to 43rd ave and Cactus to meet Shirley and to see what she's got going on out there. While for me, the drive is a trek, I have heard over the years in our growing bellydance community, that the west side has desperately needed a bellydance studio.
When I arrived, the place looks just as it is-Brand New. The business sign has not even been put on the building, and the costuming in the front window looks loney, as if to say, "I want more friends". I walked in and was warmly greeted by the owner, Shirley, busy at work on the computer in the office space of the studio. We chatted and then I took a little tour. HOLY MOLY! Dancers and drummers-get your butts out there! The place is huge. The class studio can easily fit 30+ students---great for workshops. The main wall is mirrored. The room is well lit, nicely temperatured (is that a word?), and has a huge closet to hang costumes, coats, etc...The floor is carpeted, which may pose an issue for some of us, but at least it isnt a concrete floor, right?
So on top of that huge room, are some other rooms off to the side, great for dressing/changing rooms for events, workshops, haflas, and recitals.
I think there are two bathrooms and a nice long hall. Nosey? You can easily pop over and peek in the front window that looks right into the retail area and into the class area.
So my recommendation is this: if you are a student, get your butt in there. The place is brand new and needs to get the word out and needs more students.
If you are an instructor-get in there! Now is the time, I was able to practically pick and choose my schedule and classes!
If you are a performer, go meet Shirley-she is eager to have events in her huge studio!
If you are a merchant, go show her your wares. The retail space surely has room for other great belly dance goodies.
The place is very obviously new and needs more character. So get in there and bring it your special MoJo! - K-Lee, just K-Lee , posted 07/13/05
