10 days ago I handed in the keys to the Marrickville Palace and only yesterday I received the news that the studio had passed inspection with the landlord. Yay! It was a nail biting 10 days, but we did it!
I want to thank the team who transformed what we remember as the Palace back to an empty room, resonating with 17 years of memories, dreams and dance celebrations.
Over 9 days of deconstruction various family and friends came to help demolish, sell, donate, dispose, categorize, pack, load…. And load…. And load. Then clean. It was a big task. Thank you James, Tim, Trish, Fernanda, Alex, Micaela, Jill, Hania, Dounia, Penny, Telly, Bridey, Mary, Kel, Kate, Simon, Jasper, Paul, Trevor. Thank you my Dad who accepted, without question, all of the stock and stuff which was jammed into his house, and Rachel who helped me sort out Dad’s place so I can set up a little showroom there. Thank you Amera for always being on the phone for me, and my besties who have coached me tirelessly throughout my journey. The support I’ve received from everyone in our dance community (and I mean everyone!) is the real definition of the word awesome. I am super motivated to build something beautiful and new for our industry. Much love to all.
