I started this morning listening to Sam Moore singing I Lied from his new album called Overnight Sensational, produced by Randy Jackson.
Sam Moore is the famous singer from Sam & Dave fame. I'll list a link at the bottom if you want more information about a great CD and a great way to start your morning!
Noiw that my graduation obligations are over, I can get down to marketing this website. I now will be starting the most important part of the site, getting people on the web to notice it.
On friday I stopped in at a new (one year old) dance school in Lenox called Rhythms. It is a beautiful studio with two great dance studios. Dan Levin also runs Leven Institute of Movement Therapy and has teacher training and workshops. I don't know very much about his background although it doesn't seem to be in dance. When I asked him how business was, he didn't answer much of anything. I personally know how hard it is to run a dance school having run North Shore Dance School in Glen Head on Long Island and Lenox Dance Academy in . On Long Island I had about 250 students and in Lenox I had about 150. I wish him luck in his teaching but if you have a dance school, you better know dance and have a solid background in dance. He did express his desire to expand his movement therapy business. Now that's a great idea. In this area we do have quite a few dance schools for such a small area. I can think of 7 others that have been here quite a long trime. I'm not sure if the area can handle one more, this area has a shrinking population and an aging population. If you start a business that people come to, also check your competition and the demographics. I hope that he checks out my website, as it could be a great resource for him to expand his business beyond the small Lenox area.
I just got my tickets for some other shows to see during the summer. I start off this week seeing West Side Story at Barrington Stage on thursday. I can't wait!
