As ATJ has officially been sold, we thought it was appropriate to finish with a final message to all our wonderful dance families over 30 years, current and past teaching staff and our family and friends.
Thank you for the ongoing love and support over the last 30 years. Your dedication to ATJ will never be forgotten and we feel blessed to have travelled this dance journey with you all.
ATJ commenced way back in 1996 by Nicole, Julie and Lyndell in the old Dapto Public School hall and a Guide hall in Warilla. Each year it grew substantially through word of mouth and for many years there was a student number of approximately 900 students in five locations.
Kristy joined the studio in 2012 and quickly became family, bringing her knowledge from a very successful studio that she ran from the age of 16. Becoming a partner in 2019 was an obvious progression and the studio continued to thrive under the guidance of Nicole, Kristy and Julie.
One of the highlights over the years was watching Mykenzie and Bec progress into a teaching role, where they will continue with Chantelle and Penny under Centre Pointe Performing Arts.
With Julie retiring in 2023, the studio continued in the successful partnership of Nicole and Kristy marking 30 years of teaching for both and 30 years of ATJ.
So raise a glass with us as we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for entrusting us with your dancers, and we wish you all the best on your continued dance journey.
Yours in dance,
Nicole and Kristy x
