We have had a small setback in our plans. Unfortunately, we have thus far been unable to find a venue for our lessons that fits into our budget. Even the local community centers are priced such that it would be difficult to sustain our programs without taking dependencies on donations, which we feel creates too much risk at this point in time. There are some venues that we might be able to use for a large discount or for free, but they would impose age restrictions, which we are leery of given that we are about making dance accessible to EVERYONE. Nonetheless, we have to start somewhere and if this could give us a sustainable model that we can grow from, this might end up being a fine route to take.
For now, we will continue operating as previously. While we hope to move by April, we have the good fortune of having time to continue exploring the differnt possibilities.
Seperately, we have had the misfortune of losing one of our team members, who is moving out of state. We will miss him and appreciate all the effort he put into helping us have a positive impact on our community.
