Greetings and Happy New Year!

I hope this email finds you all happy and healthy going in the New Year!!!

Dance for life...
Dance for health...
Dance for fun...
Dance for workout...
Dance to meet friends...
Dance for your soul!!

The Downtown Dance Collective is a reality!!!

I have leased the beautifully renovated La Flesch building on 121 West Main
Street and in the process obtaining permits from the city to get started on
renovation. There are two studios, the smaller of which is perfect for
private and small group lessons, massage, workshops and consultations. The
large studio, 1835 square ft, there will be hardwood floors, almost 45 feet
of mirrors, barres on the opposite brick wall and a high end sound system.
There will be beautiful chandeliers, focused lighting for art work and
curtains to cover mirrors when needed. The large studio will also serve as
a gallery where local and national art work will be displayed and sold. Our
reception area will have a comfortable seating section as well as a unique
retail area. The DDC will sell the usual, t-shirts, sweaters and such, but
also, items from local artisans. All retail items will also be available
through the DDC website. We will have a library of books on all things
dance as well as a flat panel TV to view DVD's , great for presentations and
study.

The DDC will have many kinds of movement and dance classes, primarily for
ages 16 and older although there will be a few children's classes on the
schedule. Look to the website toward the end of January for a full schedule
and description of classes.

From African to Waltz, Ballet to Tango, we will offer a wide variety of
classes in various levels. DDC will offer classes for those that are
serious about dance, who perhaps have professional aspirations as well as
classes solely for the fun of moving and getting to know new people. We
have also established a wellness program that highlights classes in the
morning, afternoon and evening for those seeking a new place to workout.
Cardio salsa to high energy hip hop, these classes will not even compare to
30 minutes on a treadmill!! We will also have improv jam sessions for those
that are interested as well as "open" studio times that people may come and
practice. Members of the DDC will also have the ability to take advantage
of nutrition and wellness classes from local professionals.

The DDC is also be available for rental. Your next fundraiser, benefit,
birthday party, gallery opening, music performance, or small scale theater
production could be at the DDC. The DDC is conveniently located directly
across from the parking garage on Main Street and very near to all
restaurants and bars. The DDC has a relationship with the great guys over
at the Badlander and will have the ability to offer alcoholic beverages at
some events if desired. Events may be catered as well.

Want to donate to the DDC? We are looking for dance books, DVD's, artwork
to sell, music, large plants, unique desks, 2 are needed, floor and table
lamps.

We are also doing a lot of the construction on our own. If either you or
someone you know likes construction projects, please let me know!! Framing,
dry wall, painting and hardwood floor installation would all be helpful.
