Fairbanks Studio space for Yoga, Pilates and dance!

Space for Movement Studio is looking for new instructors to rent some of our lovely space. We have a 24’x26’ brand new sprung wood floor, with a ladies changing area, bathrooms in the lobby and bottled water from Spring Alaska is provided on site. Our base rate is $20 per hour for evenings and weekend (weekday rates are $15hr before 5pm), and we offer incentives for those who wish to commit to a set monthly schedule. We also offer a ‘sub-lease’ to ensure you don’t lose your timeslot once you acquire it, starting with a minimum of a 3 month commitment all the way up to a year (and anything in between). Classes are given 15 minutes buffer time in front and at the end of each class to ensure there is no overlap in case a class runs a little over.


We currently have studio space available for rent effect January 2010 on Wednesday from 5-7pm (or any time within there). We also have Monday nights from 8-9:30 open effective February 15, and most of Saturday is pretty open as well. This space is available to rent for classes, troupe rehearsals or even private lessons. Please contact me if you would like to find out more about our rates.


Most of our classes are belly dance class, but we welcome any forms of movement! I would still like very much to see yoga at our space, so if you know of a yoga instructor who may be looking for space, please contact me!

We are located downtown in the historic Elbow Room.


Thanks again,

"Space for Movement Studio" opening soon!

I am opening studio primarily for belly dance in Fairbanks.

More about this in my personal off tribe blog here:
www.perlgurl.net/blog/


Finding a name seems to have been the hardest part thus far. We are located in a historic building that was "Tommy's Elbow Room" for a long time, and there is s neon sign with the name "Elbow Room" that will remain outside the building for historic reasons. I tried to come up with something original to name my studio but in the long run, we are incorporating the "Elbow Room"

Because what is "elbow room? It is room for movement!

So, we are "Space for Movement Studio"

That took so long. I am really happy I figured out the name. Now for all the other things to do before September 1!


This should be up no later than tomorrow and has a splash page:
www.SpaceforMovementStudio.com (or .net, or .org, I bought all three).

My new blog, and PC software for slurping tribe posts?

My new blog is at www.perlgurl.net/blog/ - first official post "Weekend Update, Sonic Screwdrivers, sunburnt tattoo and skeeter bites"

Will be moving all my tribe blogs there....though I am currently trying to find a PC solution for slurping all my tribe posts instead of the manual solution. Any suggestions??

Fun things for the weekend!

Trying to get thru the workday, really just waiting for the weekend to start!

Friday night is time with hubby, Sci Fi Saturday with friends, Sonic ScrewDrivers & Dr Who. Then I am taking a Kayaking class on Sunday. And a whole day off from work on on Monday!

Should be fun.

Oh, and my daughter turns 21 this weekend. How weird is that??

it's all shiny captain, or a few word about my new zills

It’s been more than 4 year since I referred to my zills as the GOD DAMN ZILLS and while I don’t hate them anymore, it is still not 100% natural for me to play and dance to anything other than triplets or beledi.

So, I got my very own Jim Boz Signature Zills! Get them for yourself from here: www.jimbozsignaturefingercymbals.com/

I bought them from someone on tribe, thinking that 1) I adore Jim Boz for what is in his brain, and for what he does with his body (the way he moves it you naughty people!) and 2) that I need to get better at zilling and though that a pretty new pair of zills might encourage me to practice more….

They arrived last night, and I realized just from the little bit of practice I did that my left hand is LAZY and doesn’t make very pretty zilling noises. Time to practice!!

Tired....

Midnight sun is messing up my circadian rhythms. Can't get to bed before midnight, and as someone who needs her 8 hours of rest, I overslept yet again this morning. It is not even the lack of complete blackout curtains confusing me, the DAYLIGHT in my living room at 11pm has my system all confused!!

I do enjoy the daylight and the lovely days of Spring, but it will take some time to get used to this new pattern and I think some Melatonin is in my near future to get me to drift to sleep earlier....

Life is short

Hubby emailed me just before the end of the workday on Friday and told me a co-worker had died at her desk.

She was still relatively young, he thinks no more than 30, but noted she was morbidly obese and every time he was in her office he could hear her wheezing.

Sad :(

Sleeping in the Land of the Midnight Sun

I am really finding out that living in the land of the midnight sun means wearing sleep masks if I want to get to sleep before 2am, because really, it is still bright outside at midnight! Last night we were up until nearly 2am, and it is 11pm and we are still up, putzing around the house and I feel like I should be doing something....besides sleeping that is :)

Must figure out how to cover windows in tin foil, or obtain more/better blackout curtains.....
