“Home is not a place…it’s a feeling.”
Hello Shooting Star Family!
We have some bittersweet news today. As of July, Shooting Star Dance Center will be operating out of the Church on the Green, in a room we will be renting. Of course, it is sad, as 403 Broad Street is home and has been so for many decades, but at the same time, it is a step on a new and exciting journey.
I’m sure many of you are asking why. It honestly comes down to it is a sound business decision that needs to be made to keep the studio alive. We are eternally grateful to Miss Roseanna and her family for the ability to continue here for the past 10 years, but let’s face it – the economy is not the most stable. As our business is a luxury, not a necessity, we feel it with everyone else. I’m proud and impressed that we have made it through the last 5 years, but this has become a necessary step.
Some highlights of our new space will be the use of the Bloomfield Board of Education lot for parking (which is free!), a bathroom attached right to the room we will be dancing in, and a space close to the size of the dancing area we have now. We thank Rev. Ruth Boiling and the Church on the Green for working with us and are excited to see where this partnership leads.
We hope everyone holds fond memories of the time spent at 403. But as our quote says, home is a feeling. Of course, we will be bringing our principle of community with us, and we will make a new home on this new adventure. Thank you all for being a part of this story, and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.
