[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Close in places are really in trouble.   They are getting no rent relief in high rent areas and are looking at 3-5 months with no income.  Recital season has been cancelled so that is lost revenue when costs for hosting recitals had been sunk and unrecoverable.  I know of two MD studios that have closed for good and expect many more.[/quote]

Ok, so Adagio, Genesis Arts, and what other beloved neighborhood fance schools are going down? [b]I would love to try to help them[/b], they hrlp create a sense of community.  [/quote]

The help they need is lower rents combined with more students but to get more students they need more reasonable tuition which they can't charge because of the higher rent.

so if you want to help, buy a strip mall and rent out the places at lower rents.

Keep in mind Arlington and Alexandria have a lot of dance studios and other kid activities but also have 40% lower income populations. Add in another 20% who are just middle income and have to watch where they spend their dollars.  That means that all these small businesses are competing with each other for a small slice of the population.
