Alright! I talked to Starz Dance Connection, right down the street from my Massage Therapy office, and they are gonna let me rent the space for classes and private lessons as Aikido of the Carolinas! As of this week we are officially part of the USAF and I’ve put in an application to the Zoning Dept for the County so I can get my business license after they approve me.
Next will be getting mats and dojo insurance, then I’ll be able to start teaching.

Right now, I have clients waiting to be able to take classes in a variety of formats. Traditional Aikido, Movement therapy with a focus of Aikido fundamentals, Movement Arts, Ukemi classes, etc... Having the opportunity to use the space at the dance studio will help expand my ability to help the community through movement and teaching them to make space for themselves as well! I'm going to keep you guys updated as things come together. I'm super grateful for all for your support!
