Hi everyone,
As some of you may have heard, I'm looking to step away from running a school. Unfortunately my health has been suffering, and the thought of setting up another studio is too much for me to comprehend at this stage in my life. I now have an amazing day job, which requires me to be Sydney a lot and I know that since Covid I haven't been able to give this dance school justice in regards to extra events, performances and workshops.
I did make an offer for handing over ownership, which did create interest, but ultimately didn't eventuate past talks.
Iβve spoken to several dance studios in Adelaide, and believe that QuickSteps is the best place for Baila Adelaide students. Over the past 12 months Iβve watched QuickSteps put a big effort into improving their Salsa/Bachata offering. I have spoken to Michelle and Seb, the studio owners, and I also believe that they have the values needed to run a studio, and teach Baila Adelaide students going forward. I really want to promote these guys, as their hearts are really in the right place for this.
QuickSteps have offered me a position, along with some other Baila Adelaide/Southern Salsa teachers, so please come along from next week! It would really be amazing to see you all!
QuickSteps will honour all Baila Adelaide class passes. Once your class passes are finished youβll need to transition onto a QuickSteps product. Their class passes are a little different than what we had, but their unlimited group membership is excellent value. Check out their website.
Some of you might know that QuickSteps has a cafe and bar. I look forward to having a drink with you when at the studio.
If you want to get a taste for QuickSteps, feel free to come to their Bachata Practica, 8:30pm-10:30 every Wednesday. I intend to be there tomorrow.
Weβll be holding a big sending away party at Cosmos on Friday 27th of January. Itβll also be a good chance to meet QuickSteps teachers.
