Caravan Studios closing...

 Just got this in my in-box from Paulette moments ago:

"...the big news, which saddens my heart to tell you. Caravan Studio must close its’ doors. Times are changing and after many months of deliberation, Jeff and I have decided it is time to close the studio and move on to our next phase in life. Having this most beautiful studio has been such a gift to me, it has brought so much pleasure, with great people and events, all based around the interest of dancing together with our most beautiful dance, tribal belly dance. But after August 16th, the doors will shut.
What more can I say, but thank you to all who have been involved in the studio in one way or another. It has been a delightful journey. I will continue to dance and teach, and I will let you know where my classes will be held soon. For those of you moving on, I wish you the best in your dance journey and your life. We are planning a big bellyjam for the final hurrah at the end of August, with a blessing ritual, a book release celebration, and a night full of dance. I will give you the date as soon as it is confirmed. Even though I may not see you at the studio, I do hope you will stay in touch with me! Make sure if you haven’t already done so, to sign up for my monthly enewsletter—Caravan Trail— on our web site. That is a great way to learn about events and our growing tribal dance community. This weekly email list will end in a week or two, but I want to keep you updated about the studio."
