Business changes hands

A dancewear business in Woy Woy changed hands on July 1.

Former owner of Rainbow Dancewear, Donna Caytana, has returned to full-time university studies and employee, Karen Arkley has purchased the business.

Karen has lived on the Peninsula for seven years and developed an interest in the industry when her daughter, Zoe, attended Dancing Mates in Umina as a student at the age of three.

Karen became a "dancing mum", as Zoe became interested in more forms of dance, taking her daughter to classes, exams, and to eisteddfods.

Karen started working at Rainbow Dancewear in August last year.

She said she became so passionate about the industry that when the opportunity to purchase the business presented itself, she jumped at it.
