Reposting, trying to get more response
Hey Everyone --
I originally posted this last week, but I didn't get many responses, so I'm trying again this week on the chance that people didn't see it because of last week's holiday.
I am thinking of starting up another adult beginning ballet class, this time at Green Street studios in Central Square.I've been in touch with the scheduling office there and they have space available on Mondays from five to 6:30 PM, or on Thursdays from 730 to 9 PM. I would offer a poll here, but my paid account has expired SO-- if you'd be interested in taking such a class, which evening/timeslot would be better for you?
The rental fees at green St. are a little bit higher than the place I was using last summer, so I would need at least five people to sign up in order to break even, and, obviously, more than that to make any money. as with last time, class would be $15 per session. I'm thinking of starting a class in late March or early April.
in addition to thinking about getting another ballet technique class going, I've been thinking about offering a dance appreciation class out of my house. This would be an opportunity to speak some about dance history, dance technique, and also to watch a bunch of dance videos and talk about them with me and with others so that you could start to feel knowledgeable enough to discuss what you're seeing. I could easily put together a course packet with readings, if people wanted that, or we could do without it. the trick for this is that we would need at least two hours a class session, possibly three, which I know is a big time commitment. On the other hand, I could offer the class every other week, instead of every week. Additionally, this is the kind of thing that you could pay for by the class, since I won't have the overhead of rental fees to deal with.
Would anybody out there be interested in this? I'm thinking of asking for $10 a class -- does that seem reasonable?
I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say...
Feel free to spread this around, or to add anything else you have to say in the comments.
