She is an amazing seamstress. She also worked as a dance instructor for another dance studio until about 7 years ago when she opened her own dance studio with her middle daughter (then a HS student) as an assistant instructor. She teaches Celtic dance, ballet, jazz, and tap at the studio. She is the main instructor for Celtic, but has trained/brought in additional instructors for ballet, jazz, and tap. However, she still supervises and helps with choreography for the entire studio as needed. She is applying for non-profit status for the studio so she can apply for community arts grants, etc. in order to have a broader presence in the community, as well as for other tax benefits. She used to choreograph all the jr. high/HS musical theatre productions in town, as well as sew costumes for them, but now has scaled way back on that. She has enough energy for 3 women, and really puts me to shame! Hats off to you, Kim...hope you don't mind me explaining your life away!Late Bloomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720229494791890942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-31374852304689363332015-03-03T12:08:11.922-08:002015-03-03T12:08:11.922-08:00Ditto on that!

I came late to the party on this blog, so I don't really know the scoop, except you seem so busy that my head spins when I read about your daily life! You are such a hard worker. Questions:<br /><br />You work as a seamstress, right? Do you have a separate shop for this? Do you rent this, own it, or is it attached to your house somehow?<br /><br />You work as a dance instructor, right? Do you have a separate studio and employees for this? Do you lease this space? Own it? <br /><br />What are the studio and sewing loans for on your sidebar?<br /><br />What does it mean to go non-profit on your dance studio, if indeed this is your dance business?<br /><br />Sorry for all these questions, but I read about your busy life, and I don't really know what you do for a living!<br /><br />IsabellaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-45186006460508688742015-03-03T11:55:17.142-08:002015-03-03T11:55:17.142-08:00I love following your blog but I'm a little mi...I love following your blog but I'm a little mixed up.....
