It is all coming together now. My studio is well on it’s way. It still needs a few finishing touches as well as mirrors and barres but it’s looking good.

Finding the Silver Lining
The dance studio I have taught at for the past five years is closing down. Shock!!!! Well it was to me. Strangely enough I immediately knew what i was going to about it and was not left wondering ‘what now?’, not even for even a second. This surprised me, and possibly other people too. I know exactly what I am going to do now… I’m opening my own dance and pilates studio.
Through my five years of working at Donzelle Dance Studio I learnt a lot of what I would do, and a lot of what I wouldn’t do if I had my own studio. I have always wanted to open my own studio and I see the fact that Donzelle Dance Studio is closing down as a blessing in disguise and possibly the push I needed to get started. Studio of Motion (my new studio) is a not only a dance studio but a Pilates and dance photography studio too.
I am so excited about this new chapter in my life, and even though my heart breaks at the thought of my old studio closing down, I know it has happened for a specific reason.
I have been working really hard for the past few weeks and am proud to say that I will have 2 studio’s, the facebook page is done, and the website is getting there (you can already register and download the prospectus).
Now It’s My Turn For New Years Resolutions
It’s been a long long 2008 with many ups and downs. My hope for 2009 is better health and, well, a better year overall. I make resolutions pretty much every year, some of them I stick to and some of them I don’t. So I’m going to try again this year and to make it more possible for myself i’m going to make them as realistic as possible. I already know what I will and will not do, so I’m not even going to try and lie or trick myself into thinking that I will do something I know I wont.
1. Read all the books prescribed in my English modules. This is sometimes very difficult, so please if I ask for any help or info on the book (try be kind and tell me what you know).
2. Write notes on all my English books while I’m still reading them.
3. Finish my 3rd year of University.
4. Exercise every day. I really wanted to say do Pilate’s, Yoga, or Jog every day but I know as I dance most days (which is already exercise) I will be too exhausted to do any more and then I will only be left feeling guilty. This all includes stretching.
5. Get my Pilate’s teaching qualification. Please Please Please hold thumbs for funding…
6. Start up dance classes at a few new Nursery schools (aiming for 5, but to be honest I know how difficult it is to get them so any will do).
7. Save, Save, Save…save save save save save (I want to save enough to go to Europe and move into a nice little place with Matt).
8. Try to join Matt in his Water Only thing. Ok, No. I no I can’t go without coffee and my winter warmers but I will drink MAINLY water.
9. Eat breakfast every morning or a fruit or meal supplement…I need brain food.
10. I need to read more Books and watch more Movies (any suggestions are welcome).
11. I need to keep my new years resolutions.
Well that’s done now. Pretty much all I can think of and I think it’s more than enough too. If I do come across any other crazy things to ad to my list I might do so, but for now I have to go do my stretching as I can’t break my resolutions on the first day of the year.
