Amoré Dance Studio : New-Move Party

The New Location is at 39th and Pennsylvania (Southeast corner)

The old location was cool, like a great New York studio apartment on two levels. But the building was being converted to condos and Tony Witt and Jessica Thompson had to come up with purchase money or move elsewhere. They did managed to arrange for the money, but in the meantime Jessica found a better spot. Twice the floor space and about the same money. They moved.

They formally opened on the 1st of April and held their new-opening party on the 15th of April. It must have required a few logistics calculations because they kept their business going with a full schedule at the old location and at all the class and event locations around the Kansas City area right up to moving day.

For the last year and a third, since opening Amoré on the east side of the River Market (523 Grand building) they have been working a plan to build their business, attract teachers, give workshops and events and expand their area of teaching both in the studio and around the KC metro area. The condo change threw them a curve which wound up giving them a better situation.
