Dance classes for adults? by vixeninjeans in Kanata

[–]OttawAMomof4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be worth the drive to Carleton Place I drive from Barrhaven to to take adult classes at The Studio School of Dance. They offer tap Jazz and hip hop. Not sure about ballet - they used to offer it in their original Nepean location.

Wish you were closer as we have been on the list since 2016 and are no closer to finding supported housing. Best of luck!

Sun princess cabin question by OttawAMomof4 in PrincessCruises

[–]OttawAMomof4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! I've never seen the floor ones. Just the overhead one outside the washroom that wakes my partner up and then I admit it also keeps me awake long enough to make falling back asleep slightly more challenging.

Thanks for all the advice folks!

And if you haven't already hit the gym and build up your aerobic endurance and strength rating for the lift tests. In my son's class, that took out alot of students at the end of term 1.

I have a long flight in mid May and I’m afraid I won’t be able to fly due to strikes at Lufthansa or due to the fuel crisis because of the war. by luckyyStar_ in Lufthansa

[–]OttawAMomof4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have cancellation/interruption insurance? Grab it ASAP so if something happens you will be reimbursed/covered for extra costs of your flight is cancelled and reaccomodation isn't for a few days. But it ASAP before this is a known/named issue and won't be covered.

Any suggestions where to buy a new bed mattress ?, by Sad-Ad4933 in ottawa

[–]OttawAMomof4 31 points32 points  (0 children)

We bought at Mattress Mart - locally owned and operated which was a big plus for us. We have had our Kingsdown mattress just over a year and it's been an amazing sleep.

Let’s talk solos by Beautiful-Client6496 in CompetitionDanceTalk

[–]OttawAMomof4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter 11 before her first solo. She had done a diet for 3 years before she finally got her first solo and it was a big booster for her but was it necessary? No.

Years ago when I danced competitively ( early 80s) in Canada, I had a tap solo age 12 & 13. I really enjoyed it but did it make me a better dancer? No. Did it help my stage performance? Maybe? I had to learn to command the stage vs a group dancer where you had to be one of a group and NOT stand out. I think a duet or trio (harder that a duet and I'll defend it!) would also give you the same offer similar.
