Join us on Saturday, September 11th between 2pm and 5pm at 110-112 Main Street for an open house to celebrate the new Feminicity! Meet Joany and her dance instructors, pre-register for the Fall classes (to begin September 13th), and take a look at Joany’s fabulous new location. She’s got lots of plans for classes, social events and other fun times, and we’re sure you’ll love what she’s done with the studio!

Feminicity is a short walk from the public parking lot on Oak street (near @Discovery North Bay and the site of the former bus terminal). Joany’s location is where Euphoria Smoothies used to be, near the intersection with the Royal Bank, Pizza Pizza and Subway, near the Nutty Chocolatier. Hope to see you on the 11th!

Hello, Feminicity dancers! Yesterday I was given a preview of Joany’s new building and I’m excited to tell you about what you can expect from Feminicity later this summer. First, the basics:

The new Feminicity location will be 110-112 Main Street, where the Euphoria smoothie shop used to be. It’s close to the Nutty Chocolatier, by the corner of Main and Ferguson where you’ll find Pizza Pizza, Subway and the Royal Bank.

After 6pm you can park on the city streets without paying, or you can use the large public parking lot on Oak Street (next to @Discovery North Bay) where your first two hours are free. If you’re used to parking in the Capitol Centre lot to attend the old Feminicity location, you’ll be walking about the same distance from the Oak Street lot to Joany’s new spot, so you can anticipate the same easy access to her new location.

The main floor of Joany’s building will be home to En Bas / The Downstairs Cafe where Joany and her fiance Leo will be offering “real food” – soup and sandwiches and a nice place to sit and have a coffee before or after class. Every Friday night will see a party taking place, so make sure to drop in and join in!

Fran Hanover (Feminicity belly dancer and talented painter) will be curating gallery shows on the ground floor, where local artists will be able to display their work. En Bas / The Downstairs Cafe will join North Bay’s current downtown art galleries (Art on Main, The WKP Kennedy Gallery, and the White Water Gallery) to co-host regular gallery crawl nights where guests can appreciate multiple displays of fine art and access music and good food at En Bas at the end of the evening.

The second floor of Joany’s new building will hold several dance studios, and we’re sure you’ll be thrilled with the architecture and atmosphere. Construction is well underway at the moment, and we’re hoping to make some photos available once the dust settles (literally) and we can show you the larger facilities, terrific brick work, flattering lighting, and lovely open spaces you’ll be able to enjoy when regular classes resume. Joany is waiting for the delivery of the equipment for the hotly anticipated pole dancing class – it will be arriving soon!

Also on the second floor, you will find a showroom (with dressing areas) for Joany’s line of career wear for active women. Look forward to shopping in style!
