I spent the majority of the day traversing the City of
Clarksville, Tennessee. International
Line Dance Flyer and business cards in hand, I worked my way from Ajax Senior
Center to the YMCA. I have a tendency to
be a stubborn Missouri mule with a single mindset to accomplish an objective.
Currently, that objective is to establish at least one line dance class of my
own in Clarksville.
Although I did not finalize a host for a class today, I did get
my name is out there and my goal is known. The Senior Center has a Tuesday
night class taught by a physical therapist from Ft. Campbell, I will meet with
her in March and see if we can work together at the center. The proceeds for this class go to help the
center with operating cost. So this would be a great way to give back to the
community.
Melissa at the Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department
was encouraging. They currently do not
have a program but she thought it was a great opportunity for the 2012
calendar. She was in budget discussions this week and would discuss with her
department. She stated she would have one of the staff contact me in within the
next two weeks to discuss the possible opportunity.
The YMCA was more receptive today, especially since I
informed them at present, I am not interested in being compensated but looking
to establish myself here in Clarksville.
This time I got a business card and a promise that my information would
be given to Amanda, the Executive Program Director. So I will see if I get a call back from
Amanda or this Missouri Mule will be making a call next week.
The Rainbo Roller Rink is still a possibility but not until
summer. They have a Rhumba class and do special projects for Special Olympics
and feel they just don’t have the space to start a Line Dance Class at this
time. They would be interested after school is out and advised that if they
could get a feel for the type of response they would get from hosting a Dance
Class, then it could be a summer program. I will put this information on
LineDanceNews.com in the next week to get the word out.
Over all I feel good about the day’s activities. I will
continue to work on researching other locations to investigate for possible
host locations for a dance class. The
one accomplishment for the day is I am not a registered voter in the Great
State of Tennessee. Till Next time... LB
