17 SEASONS. ONE BIG BAD FAMILY. 💜
A bit of a personal post...
It’s hard to believe that 17 seasons ago, this crazy girl had an idea… 😂
I can still remember sitting at the kitchen table at my parents’ house, pitching the idea of starting a dance studio. And yes… I pitched it much like a business proposal, explaining why I believed this was what I wanted to do with my life.
I was only 19 years old- aging myself here! 🫣
And somehow… here we are. 17 seasons later.
People are often shocked when they find out that I’m the Director ... and even more shocked when they hear we’ve been open this long
It is then when I’m reminded just how crazy it must have seemed to my parents all those years ago when their young adult daughter said, “I think I want to start a dance studio.”
But this week… my heart was BURSTING with pride.
We had dancers walk through our doors for their very first dance class EVER.🥹
We had dancers who ran through those same doors, straight into my arms for a BIG hug, ready to start another veteran year.
We had recreational dancers.
We had competitive dancers.
We had tiny dancers and dancers who have grown up right before our eyes.
And all of us… one big BAD family. 💜
To every family who has trusted us with your children .. past and present.. thank you. Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, cheering us on, sticking with us through the crazy, and allowing us to be a small part of your dancer’s journey.
And a HUGE thank you for your patience this week. The first week is always a little chaotic as we navigate new schedules, new rooms, new entrances, new routines and all of the moving pieces that come with a new season. We appreciate your patience more than you know!
I will forever be grateful that I get to say…
I’m here.
I’m doing what I love.
And I get to spend my days helping shape the next generation.
“Blessed” truly doesn’t do it justice and I will continue to be honoured that my parents believed in me enough to support my decision all those years ago.
From that kitchen table at my parents’ house to SZN 17 at BAD…
What a ride it has been. 💜
Here’s to 17 seasons… and 17 more. 🔥🔥
Thank you for being part of our story.
We love you, BAD family.
💜💛💚
