Free Body Studios
After about a year of increasingly well received lessons taught at MIT, robogeek and I decided to open our own studio. Because really, there's only so many times people can ask if there's a website to look at or private lessons to be had before we realized that maybe we should stop saying no. A website is currently in the works, and we have a mailing list now.
Our announcement was really well-received, not just by our following and our friends, but instructors as well. It's such a good feeling; I can't even begin to describe it. And our kick-off lesson was well attended, well received, and just so much fun. We even got some excellent feedback, so we can keep working on getting better.
It helps that I'm finally starting to believe that I am a very good Blues dancer. Don't worry, it hasn't fully sank in though, and I'm still my very modest self. One of our more enthusiastic students called me iconic last night, which felt a little odd. She went on to mention a total screw-up on our part at the beginning of last Sunday's intermediate lesson. I don't recall how she described it, but perhaps needless to say, she still thought we looked good. I was so glad that a friend was there to overhear and stoutly maintain that yes, it did in fact look silly.
I am very excited to be able to bring the joy of dance into people's lives, and with every lesson I have more fun teaching. But there's this tiny little part of me that's really curious to see how far we can go with this...
