Belly Dancing in a Dungeon

The first lesson of the brand-new advanced belly dance class started up last night. While the course content seems like it's going to be great, I've noticed a deterioration in the quality of the spaces we get put in, while the price of the courses continue to rise. We started out a year ago in a dance studio in the Cultural Arts building. It was small, but had AC and ceiling fans, and a nice wooden floor. Last session, we got move to a dance studio in the high school, which was bigger, but didn't have any ventilation, and had panelled mirrors, which gave an interesting funhouse effect when you stood at the wrong angle. Now we've been demoted even further, to a classroom in the basement of a middle school. It has dirty tile floors, six concrete pillars in the way, no mirrors, and no ventilation whatsoever. And the janitor was hustling us out of the room 5 minutes after class ended. There may be an angry letter written to the rec ed department, as I am feeling rather dismayed about this situation. I pity the kids who actually have to spend the day there, as the whole building seemed kind of dark and dirty and falling apart.
