From hobby to business—a dancer takes a leap of faith

It was always Valentina Bagala’s dream to open a dance studio. She took dance classes as a child in Chile, and throughout high school and college. After graduating from the University of Florida, she worked in human resources but felt like something was missing without dance in her life. So in 2013, she and her husband, Rafael Savino, decided to take a leap of faith. They quit their jobs, maxed out their credit cards, and became first-time business owners of a dance studio in Doral, FL—Ascendance Studio.


Doral has a large Spanish-speaking community, so to get the word out Valentina and Rafael realized they needed to advertise online in Spanish. One month after creating Google ads in Spanish, they had 45 new students learning everything from ballet to flamenco. And today, they have around 200 students, a bigger studio, and employ nine instructors. Most importantly, Valentina is doing what she loves most and spreading the love of dance to her community.


Watch the video above to learn how Valentina and Rafael made a dream come true and grew their dance studio with the help of the web.


Siempre ha sido el sueño de Valentina Bagala el abrir un estudio de danza. Tomó clases de baile desde pequeña en Chile, y durante la secundaria y la universidad. Después de graduarse de la Universidad de Florida, trabajó en recursos humanos, pero siempre sintió que le hacía falta la danza en su vida. En el 2013, ella y su esposo, Rafael Savino, decidieron tomar el mayor riesgo de sus vidas. Renunciaron a sus trabajos, agotaron los fondos de sus tarjetas de crédito y se convirtieron en dueños de su primer estudio de danza en Doral, FL—Ascendance Studio.


Doral tiene una gran población de hispanohablantes, así que para regar la voz de su negocio, Valentina y Rafael se dieron cuenta que tenían que anunciar su negocio en Español. Un mes después de crear anuncios en Google en Español, tenían 45 nuevos estudiantes aprendiendo de todo, desde ballet hasta flamenco. Hoy tienen alrededor de 200 estudiantes, un estudio más grande, y emplean a nueve instructores. Lo más importante es que Valentina está haciendo lo que más ama y compartiendo su amor por la danza con su comunidad.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
