FRIDAY THOUGHTS 💜💜……

I sometimes wonder what would happen if people could see inside the brain of a dance teacher or studio owner.

It would not be neat.

It would not be quiet.

And it would probably look like 47 tabs open at the same time, with music playing from one of them, and nobody can figure out where it is coming from.

There would be a parent email that still needs an answer, a class plan for Tuesday, a recital idea that showed up at 2:00 in the morning, a student who looked a little sad last night, a teacher who needs a little encouragement, a prop that may or may not still be in someone’s garage, a costume that still needs one more rhinestone, one more safety pin, or one more miracle, studio invoices that need paying, DBS to renew, insurance to sort, holiday timetables, studio floor to clean, music to cut, new work to choreograph, show work to set around illness, holidays……..

And somehow, in the middle of all of that, we are also thinking about the child who finally smiled in class. The beginner who is starting to believe in themselves. The senior who is getting ready to move on. The parent who trusted us with the most important person in their life.

That is the part “normal people” may not always understand.

Yes, we run businesses.

Yes, we teach classes.

Yes, we plan schedules, performances, programs, and seasons.

But we are also carrying people.

Children.

Families.

Teachers.

Dreams.

And maybe that is why our brains never fully shut off.

Because this work is not just a job we go to.

It is a life we care about.

So if you know a dance teacher or studio owner who forgets where they put their coffee, answers a question before you finish asking it, or suddenly says, “Wait, I just thought of something,” please know this.

They are not scattered.

They are not dramatic.

They are just holding an entire dance studio in their head and heart.

How cool is that!

Have an awesome day and enjoy the journey--Rhee Gold 💜💜

💜 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DANCE DAY 💜

to one of my favourite annual shows!! 🥰

The journey was always bigger than the dance.

Yes, there were classes. Routines. Competitions. Costumes. Performances. Shows. Events. Exams.

But underneath all of that, something deeper was happening…….A child was learning how to work hard. How to keep going. How to be brave. How to be part of something. How to believe in themselves.

The real gift was not only what happened on the stage. It was what was being built in the child along the way.

Enjoy the journey & always remember all the BEAUTIFUL memories 💜💜
