DIRECTOR DOWN-LOW with MISS AMBER 📣
Hmmmm.... where to start? Well, you have already been filled in on all the tea surrounding our staff this year! As you can see, there have been lots of changes... while we are definitely feeling the absence of those moving on, we are also so excited about the new and returning faces joining us this season. Luckily, somehow things always seem to work out exactly as they should.
The studio itself has once again kept me on my toes BUT there have been some big wins too! After nearly a year without a functioning kitchen, we had an amazing crew come in and put it back together for us! (I will detail this in a later post). As for the rest, let's just say that owning an old building continues to build character 🤪
This summer, I tried to take a page out of the playbook of my son and "Summer Max".... meaning say yes, make the plans, spend time with the people I love and squeeze out as many experiences as possible.
I tackled a top-20-in-the-world mountain hike and canoed on beautiful Cameron Lake in Waterton, explored Waskesiu with my family, took my kids and met up with a few cherished old friends at an Everclear concert, hung out with our dancers at summer camp and found plenty of happiness right in my own backyard with my dogs and cats ... it's been a pretty great summer.
As cliché as it sounds, I really am excited about everything this year! Seeing and dancing with the kids again, creating new routines, launching a brand new competition, watching our staff grow & flourish, and seeing what our 21st year has in store...
I am soooo grateful that I get to do what I love with the people I love! Thank you so much to everyone who has been, and continues to be on this journey with me 💕
