When Kayla Stewart's clogging teacher offered her the reins of
his dance studio last year, the decision wasn't a difficult
one. Although in her last semester of high school and mired in
college and scholarship applications, Stewart, who had been taking
clogging lessons at the studio since age 9, didn't hesitate to
take him up on the offer.  Stewart now pays rent on the Powell, Wyoming, studio to
its former owner and choreographs and teaches all six classes a
week by herself. So far, she has modeled the studio very closely to
how it was run by her predecessor, including putting on the
traditional yearly performances, although this year she hopes to
organize a few novel performances for her dancers. Sales last year
reached $8,000, and she expects $12,000 in 2002.
So how has Stewart changed as a teen entrepreneur? "Running
a business makes you more assertive because you have to deal with
everyone," says Kayla, now 19 and in her first year at
Northwest College in Powell. "You have to know what you want
and not get pushed around." —Gisela M.
