  My mother is helping with the rent on the studio.
  Talked to a very helpful woman at the school district about renting a school gym for classes — lots of steps and timing.
  Waiting for FedEx to bring my new custom iPod which I intend to load with inspirational music for my students.

  Negotiated a lower rental rate for the studio and booked it for the entire summer!!!!!

  This beautiful studio is location on N. Shaver @ N. Mississippi. Open and bright, marley floor, mirrored wall, view of garden through large windows, lots of natural light.

  Looked at a beautiful studio today.  Will this be my space for hoop classes?
  I did some number crunching and think I will have to fine a part-time gig in order to follow my bliss. dang!
  It’s not the end of the world, just a little reality check.  It’s still an amazing space and could be very inspirational for my students — and me too!

  I’m sending out good vibes this morning in hopes of finding a wonderful space in which to teach hoopdance long-term. Inner east side would be ideal, weekday evening availability would be lovely. A school gym? A church basement with very, very tall ceilings? I’ve been looking at Portland Parks & Rec, neighborhood studios and dance halls, big-name gym classes, etc. but would love to find that perfect fit. Any parents out there have access to their child’s gym year-round? Is there a new, cozy dance studio I haven’t discovered that needs one more tenant?
  Let’s chat!

  I know I will find that space…the space filled with amazing people spilling exuberant energy out into the room.

  Happy Hooping!

  Going to see a space on Saturday.  It looks GORGEOUS!  And it’s close by.  I envision myself riding my bike to my lunchtime hoop classes during the spring and summer greeting my happy hoop students and filling the dance studio with positive vibes that radiate out into the neighborhood!!!!

  The website is almost ready.  I’m trying to suss out the contents and figure out how to compact information without leaving out anything important.  I have so much to learn!

  I applied for a trademark for my hoop business name.  No turning back now!

  Wow!  I gotta practice! 😉
