turning my garage into a dance studio

[@angelinachen861]

look at your dad's proud face when you say "this is the man who did it"! what a loving family you have :)

[@LifeAsGabi]

I'm so thankful to my dad for doing this for me🥰

[@aimeeshreffler3068]

I need Ballet lessons

[@MALogan-tc8sh]

I love everything about this video especially seeing a black family pull together for a really cool project! I love little brothers enthusiasm and work ethic, dad's discipline and little sister's star moments!

[@LifeAsGabi]

Thank you🥰 It was definitely a great family moment that I will always remember!

[@chefclementine]

Awww this gave me warm an fuzzies. You are so blessed to have a supportive family! I might do this with my Mom so she can have a small gym in her house.

[@LifeAsGabi]

Yes! I am so thankful for all of their support and help❤️ You should definitely do this with your mom!

[@kathymyers7279]

What a great supportive family. That father. 🤩

[@LifeAsGabi]

🥰🥰

[@nariahmullins2023]

okay you have the cutest family 🥺

[@LifeAsGabi]

Aww thank you so much ❤️❤️🥺

[@dagmardharmayoga]

WOW, Great job you guys! I lost my office job back in 2020 due to COVID, and being a Certified Yoga Teacher and a Zumba Instructor I decided to follow my heart and commit full time to do it online. I'm very happy I found your video to serve as inspiration, since we are converting our basement into a Yoga/Dance Studio. I wish you all the success in your career, from one dancer to another.

[@LifeAsGabi]

Thank you❤️ I’m so sorry you lost your job due to covid. But that’s amazing that you then had the opportunity to commit to something that you are passionate about! I’m actually thinking about getting my Yoga teacher certification.

[@xoxotanish]

I'm moved to tears....you can just sense the love and support your family has for you!! I hope you're still enjoying your studio. It looks great!

[@xachh11]

If you wear thick gloves and heat a wire coat hanger you can slice through pool noodles without having to saw through it or get covered in the fuzz that comes off them. But the hanger has to be very hot so you can make a couple of slices before it cools down. But getting family to help cut them is way easier. That kid is savage lol and adorable.

[@Kdrama-699]

Dad is happy ❤ that dads face had it all❤❤❤❤

[@clairesauzel]

Omg !! I dream of turning my parent's garage into a small gym!!

[@LifeAsGabi]

You definitely should!!! It has been such a lifesaver because it's so difficult to find space in a house to take dance classes.

[@nickoletallen3744]

Thanks Dad!!! Looks Great! I was a Dance major (and Theatre major at LMU also! Now I'm a filmmaker. I'm research for a dance studio I need to construct for a film project. Thanks so much Gabriella for sharing this! Yes, she is "Something different"...or a future Actress. God bless you all!

[@jessfabolousfabolous9766]

I love how the family is working together and the kids are learning some very valuable lessons. Fathers do anything for their kids, especially their girls. Great work you guys!!

Thank you sm💕

[@TheWeavingHouseNZ]

grooooooooovy!

[@jo_yeowand]

Through the video, I was confused about why you kept calling your shed the “garage.” 🐙🐙🐙 The finished results look amazing; your father did a great job 👏👏 Do you have any idea how long it will take until the foam needs replacing?

[@LifeAsGabi]

Lol we consider it a garage😂 It's not attached to our house but usually we keep our car in there too. I'm not sure how long it will take until the foam needs replacing but I know it lasts for a pretty long time! Also, thank you for watching the whole video🥺❤️

[@biancadiamond3757]

Sheds are small usually for tools. Garages are for cars. I'm in Canada this is called garage.

[@melissalissalissa]

Very cool! Did the second layer of plywood have the glued pool noodles too? Or just the bottom layer?

[@doubleornothingtwostep]

🐙🐙🐙 ! Great job

[@veronycarenee6929]

🐙🐙🐙 awesome

[@officialwarren825]

Here fathers jack of all trade respect ✊

[@sunshinedesigns9303]

What was the wood you bought? And how was the bottom layer secured to the garage floor?

[@trishstanneart3508]

What was the thing you used to measure the noodles? I love this video

[@youareenough4978]

🥰🥰

[@imani1082]

🐙🐙🐙I loved this how much did it cost to do all this I really want to do this for my garage I need a space go dance😫

[@LifeAsGabi]

Thank you so much!! You really should because it's been so much fun having a dance space at home! It cost around $1600.

[@gymanddancemirrorsdirect7898]

Great use of space...

[@LifeAsGabi]

Thank you!!

[@danip3846]

Love it! 🎉 How much money is it totally?

[@Kmeaw86]

I love this! We need a second dance studio for my school so I've been looking at doing the pool noodle sprung floor. Where did you get your mirrors! Good luck in school! I was a university dance major now run a K-8 performing arts conservatory at a public school now that I'm retired from performing. You can do so many things with your degree. :-)

[@BrantCasteel]

Any chance you'd be willing to share your suppliers for the marley floor and the mirrors?

[@meabhconneely]

I’m an irish dancer and am thinking of doing something similar ! I’m using mirror sticker roll as glass mirrors are kinda pricey over here! What plywood did you use (thickness)? Also where did you put everything that was in the garage before ?

[@manuelaevans5235]

What is the material on the floor did he put hood first on the floor ?
