 * Private dance practice (Mai) - Recurring starting Aug 22nd - pp Jenny/Robb - offering $15-20/hour for 2 hours and also helping upgrade the floor and mirrors: "Hi there! I'm at Omni at least once a week as a steward of People's Open Network/Sudo Mesh. I'm submitting this request wearing one of my other hats as an artist/dancer. I'd like to use the Disco Room every Thursday evening for 2 hours, 7-9pm, as a practice space for a dance performance I'm doing in November. I may want to use it more frequently in September but I would be happy to chat with y'all about whether that could work. It would just be me at least through the end of August, then maybe a handful of others (up to 4) depending on how I decide to choreograph the pieces. If it's desired/agreed upon by the member collectives, I'd like to help make the space easier to use as a dance space. I'd like to do that by sourcing cheap/free dance flooring and large mirrors to install alongside the southern wall, opposite the windows."
