Getting Ready!

The Road Trip

About two-and-a-half months ago in mid-June 2007 we (Robin and Carry) made a road trip to Silverdale to purchase a new piano for our growing Simply Music program.  Our plan was to rent two rooms in a new location around the corner from our studio so we could teach more students.  Eight hours later we excitedly announced to our husbands that we wanted to rent FOUR rooms so we could offer a dance program in addition to Simply Music and Kindermusik.

By late June we were busy working on the floorplan and ordering furniture and clocks.  We were advertising locally and in Seattle for dance instructors.  By early July we had three dance teachers in place and the beginning of a schedule.  In mid-July we hit a bump--and it was a big one.  We were told that the building we planned to rent wasn't  zoned properly for our Academy. That night we found a brand new building and the contractor agreed to build the interior to suit.  Moving full steam ahead, we developed a new (and better) floorplan and moved forward!

Here we are mid-August and we have five teachers on staff and over 50 dance and fitness classes scheduled.  Work has begun on our new building and we plan to be in and ready to begin classes on October 8! You can watch the proress on our builidng, from the pouring of the cement to the building of the walls and the installation of the O'Mara Sprung Floors! 

We are so excited about this new venture and we hope you are, too! There are lots of great things ahead and so we invite you to join us on "Robin and Carry's Excellent Adventure!"
