Hart said in addition to Lucknow, she has been getting stu- dents from Ripley, Teeswater and Wingham as well. There is a lot of buzz in the village and .Hart has , 60 dancers already enrolled into her studio. She has been overwhelmed with how much i n t e res t Danceology has received in Just under a month. "Tho first few weeks- have been amazing," said Hart. "I have been overwhelmed,but in a good way. I can't believe how big of a response I have gottenI truly believe that this will be a . success- ful business." What used to be the Family 'YMCA Daycare has been transformed into a full fledged dance studio, where Hart's students have the chance to hone their skills as dancers while hav- ing fun at the same time. Hart saw a need for dance studio in a village that didn't have one and she pro- vided that oppor- tunity. "Initially I was looking for the support of the town and I defi- nitely got that," said Hart. "I was just hoping to get enough students to get the business f'up and running, and I have done that and some. I wanted somewhere where I could teach what I love . and I have found that hi Lucknow:::. Hart has also heard a lot of pos- itive feedback from students that their parents are happy at how much theirkids are learning and .how ` much fun they are having. Hart said it's important to give the best dance experience her studentscan get. "I've heard that Kitchen looking a little drab? Ask about our special pricing on concrete countertops.

Fora lot of the students, dancing is new to them and it's a chance for them to see what they can do. She has also seen a lot of natural talent in her students in just the few short weeks Danceology has been open. "There hasn't been anything around like this for ,girls and : boys and I hope this gives them the experience to pur- sue dance if they so choose," said Hart. "I would say out of the 60 dancers I have, only about .10 of them have any dance experience. There is just so much natural tal- ent that I've seen, s Snith with stays in positlo Photo by Gantt Reid a variation of a headstand during a dance session last from flexibility, body control ` and how to hold the body as a dancer." Hart . has also seen her students become stronger mentally and physically because the more they learn, the more they want to accomplish. Hart believes it's a learning experi- ence for both her and her students. Her students are able to learn dance from her and Hart gets to experience how much some- one can learn when properly motivated. "I was on my third week of classes and you could already see how hard a lot of the girls are try- ing. You can just see their confi- dence with just even their stance and ability to push everything as far as they can," said Hart. "We do this handstand hold every class where the kids have to stay still against a wall and in the first week it was hard for a lot_ of them to hold it for 30 seconds. Now most of the kids can hold it for over a minute. It's amazing." The Danceology competitive team is also making positive strides as they get ready for competitions start- ing on April 22. Hart said it takes a lot of work and dedication to get her team ready, but she knows they will be ready when the time comes. • "We go through the choreography, then polishing it, facials and also go through hair, makeup and cos- tumes," said Hart. "It's a lot of work but it's well worth the effort. The team is already excited about going." "I already have a lot of interest for next year. A lot of people who had scheduling con- flicts have shown interest for next year," said Hart. "The future looks good."
