New Studio Coming Soon!

November 16, 2009 11:28 AM

The rumors are true — we’re moving to a beautiful new studio!

Because of your continued support and dedication, Sahara Dance has outgrown our cute little studio on 41st Street. Our new studio will be two blocks south on Wisconsin Avenue, and will be closer to the Tenleytown-AU Metro stop. Though we aren’t moving far, we are definitely moving up and will have more space!

We’ve been at the 41st Street location since launching Sahara Dance 2004, and have spent a lot of time together in that cute little pink and turquoise space with the billowy ceiling. We’ve danced, drummed, shared, laughed, cried, encouraged and been encouraged, achieved dance goals and set new ones, met new people and formed lifelong friendships in that studio. Though we’ll be sad to say goodbye to the space, we cherish our memories and look forward to making new ones in our new home.

I feel tremendously fortunate to be embarking on such an exciting transition as we enter 2010. There are good times ahead for all of us in this new space. With each step we are continuing to elevate belly dance as an art form and creating a joyous and supportive community surrounding the dance. The new studio will allow us to have more comfortable classes, prepare pieces for stage more easily and expand our programming. Thank you!

And, yes, the Spring 2010 schedule will be online this week :).

In the meantime, here’s to Sahara Dance 2.0! Stay tuned for invitations to painting parties, grand openings and more!
