First Blog Post....aaanndddd We Are MOVING!

Welcome to the official Diva Den Studio Blog!

Here will post the comings and and goings of the staff, events, promotions or general news of our facility.

And our first official post is a doosey!

Thanks to our loyal and divalicious clients, over the last 2 years at our Barbur Blvd location, we have grown substantially! And we have needed more space for many months!

We are so very excited to announce that we are moving to a brand new 9000 sq ft facility! Don't worry, it's not far from our current location, just about 7-10 minutes down the freeway (just 2 exits). Trust us, it is SO worth that few extra minutes.

We are planning to be ready for classes mid-late June!

With this new facility, we will have 3 separate studio areas! No more sharing rooms! Pole students will have their own space! Featuring 10-11 poles, towering 14 ft in the air! We hope to even have our very own "tip rail stage". For the up and coming performances for your friends! (don't worry, you don't HAVE to show off your skills!)

We also will have a VERY large room for our bigger classes and those that need more room like Zumba and Hoop! This room is almost twice the size of our current studio...yes the ENTIRE studio! Plus now you don't have to dance your way around poles! YEA!

Our third room is what we are calling our "yoga room", this is our smallest room, but it's still MUCH larger than our current studio. This room is loaded with windows to let in some natural light if desired, but don't worry, no one will be able to see in, so it's still totally private. This means we can add more Aerial Yoga Hammocks! YUP YUP!

All of our rooms will be equipped to take our Aerial Yoga hammocks..and hold on to your hats for this one, we are bring in AERIAL SILKS! You know, a la cirque du soleil! Lyra (hanging hoops) will be coming not long after!

In addition our waiting room is HUGE! I'm talking GINORMOUS! We will also have, get ready for it...a large locker room (yes, with lockers!) and changing area! Attached to that is the ladies room which has 3 stalls! No more waiting ladies!

We will also have a separate childcare area! "Lollipops Kidzone" is a huge area with fun stuff for kids to do in a safe environment. We will not be able to offer free childcare anymore, however, it's very inexpensive. Infants and crawlers/new walkers will be separated from the big kids, so the tiny tots can play safely!

In addition, we have have several new amenities..some of which include, but are not limited to...

Massage
Natural Nails Mani's/Pedi's
Air Brush Tanning (not the booth, a real live person!)
Full Retail Section
Aesthetic Services
and more!

Within the year, we hope to offer more services including a wine/coffee bar!

With this new "Womens Lifestyle Facility", we will become the largest facility of it's kind in NORTH AMERICA! EEEK!

Get ready Portland!

The changes coming to Diva Den Studio are so very excited for us all!

But one of the best changes is that Kristin, you know, the one that answers the phone, manages my crazy mind, is now officially my business partner! I can't tell you how excited I am.

With her, we will have a smoother running operation, yea for that! :)

WHEW! What a first blog post huh!?!

Now with all that said, we need you! We are HIRING! Please visit our web page under "work with us" and see if you are what we're looking for!

In addition, we are looking for those willing to trade. We are in need of licensed electricians & plumbers. Also we have a LOT of floor to lay, so if you're up for a little manual labor, we need you! Soooo, if you or someone you know has skills, let us know, we're looking to trade for membership services!

Email Summer @ summer@divadenstudio.com

Again, I would like to thank all of my super clients and instructors and especially Kristin for helping make my dream a reality!

Here's to a FABULOUS 2010!
