FINAL DAY AT SMASH..NEW DAY AT DANCE FUSION

Today I close the doors at our SMASH home. We've relocated to Dance Fusion. Although the move is exciting and I know change and growth is good, I cant help but feel sad leaving this space that I made my second home for myself and for so many others. The walls are bare now, the rooms are quiet, I hear crickets! lol. No more music, no more kids laughing and playing, no more parents watching TV in the lobby and chatting, no more Karate yelling, no more LOUD Base coming from Kickboxing class. ITS QUIET! So it makes me sad, but I'm happy for the move, the classes at Fusion are very professional and challenging. This is good for the students and it is good for me too, I finally get a little peace of mind for the first time in almost 5 years of this SMASH craziness!! haha. So I have a lot of mixed feeling going on right now. I want to cry but at the same time I am feeling joy. I love my SMASH kids and this move will be great for them, that is all that matters....

SMASH MOVES TO DANCE FUSION by Ms. Lisa

Wow what a summer this has been, its been rough I will be honest but the kids all make it so worth while. I took it day by day trying to figure it out. Best option was to move and merge with one of MY instructors from my child hood years, Ms. Kathy at Dance Fusion. Yes I will miss the name SMASH, but it will live on in all these SMASH children's memories forever. I am not worried about it, a name is just a name. Dance Fusion will have some SMASH Fusion now..lol. We are a unique diverse close family the SMASH family and I, but it will all work out for the best. At Dance Fusion there will be more classes for them to choose from, and they will be challenged more. My mission of bringing more cultural classes to Las Vegas is complete, I never in a million years thought my classes would be taught at one of the largest competitive dance schools in Las Vegas, Dance Fusion. This is a postive thing for every SMASH student. Change is good, growth is good, and I am happy.

SMASH IS A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE GREAT FRIENDS HERE. I FEEL LIKE SMASH HAS BEEN A SECOND HOME TO ME. I LOVE WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN SMASH, IT MEANS A LOT TO ME. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO MS. LISA FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY OF MY LIFE AND DREAMS.

SMASH TESTIMONIAL by Sydney Justus

SMASH has had an impact on my life because I'm more active. I love it because I am not at home just sitting on the couch watching TV. I have friends at SMASH and I can be myself here. SMASH has taught me more Discipline and responsibility. I love all of my teachers because they are very nice and I can trust them. Smash is like my second home and makes me feel so alive! I am able to escape everything that makes me feel sad and frustrated, I am very happy with SMASH and everyone who teaches me new things every day. SMASH is the best dance school I've ever been to, I LOVE SMASH!!

WHAT MAKES SMASH??

Value. We value family here. Coming here really feels like home. Its my home and my students are my visitors. I wanted to make it a Starbux feel, I had imagined parents on their laptops while their children were in class. I don't like the whole pick up and drop off. I like the parents to hang out and chat among each other. These 4 years and 2 months have been so rewarding for me. I believe things fall into your life for a reason. SMASH somehow came to my life, I did imagine it and dreamed it but never did I know what was coming. I am a stronger person because of my experiences here, SMASH is something I will cherish forever. I am content with my accomplishments here. Finacially we all wish we weren't going through a recession but I learned so much more having survived during a recession as long I have. However time is ticking now, and SMASH's next chapter is soon to come...

Meantime, My Salsa classes and Bellydance classes are doing amazing! I signed on 20 new students in August. My marketing seems to be working, but like now I work long hours to get things organized.
