Professional swing dance instructor looking for a space to rent for private lessons.
by Valerie Salstrom 10 Dec '19

10 Dec '19

I am in need of some new locations to teach private dance lessons. My name is Valerie Salstrom and I am the founder and owner of the swing dance company Get Hep Swing. I am a full-time dance professional who has been in the business for 20 years. I specialize in vernacular jazz dance forms including solo and partnered Charleston, Lindy, Jitterbug/East Coast Swing, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, St. Louis Shag, etc. The venue I have been using is closing and I need to find some alternative locations. I have requests for private lessons all over Cleveland but, I would ideally like a location in or near Cleveland Heights, in or near Lakewood, and in or near Brecksville. My ideal space is clean, has a nice wood floor, mirrors on at least one wall, and free parking. I would settle for a flat floor. Marley floors or floors that have grip are not suited for the styles of dance that I teach. I don’t need a large space as private lessons usually only include one or two couples and myself. If the space is large and has ample parking, it could potentially be a great location for future group classes. I am open to collaborating with the right person, group, ballroom, art center, or dance studio. I am looking to pay $15 per hour for studio rental for private lessons, which is the going rate and what I pay at all of the locations I currently use. If we end up collaborating on multi-week, progressive, group classes we can discuss a percentage split in person. I am extremely trustworthy and have a stellar reputation as a person, dancer, teacher, competitor, performer, swing dance historian, and judge in the local, regional, national, and international swing dance community. I will take excellent care of your studio/space while I am there. I will do my best to support and promote you and your organization. Please see www.GetHepSwing.com for more details on what I do and offer. Please feel free to email me or give me a call. info(a)GetHepSwing.com or 216-374-1927 Thank you, and I hope to get some good leads from you all soon. I appreciate the help. Happy Holidays!
