Today is the day I dreaded.........my last day of classes at Studio 2........ 😞😭
9 YEARS ago I went out on a limb and opened up my own place.....it’s been an amazing 9 years!!! I didn’t put much thought into it at the time on having my own place....I Had NO idea the interest and growth I’d experience over the last 9 years.......All I knew at the time is Jackson was sad with no place to go for tumbling. Cheerleaders were struggling in town of not really having any tumbling skills and just in general kids didn’t have much to do. I grew up at Gingers Dance, Flip and Twist competing in tumbling as I grew up! I loved it! I wasn’t the BEST but it was favorite thing to do as a kid. After high school, I was asked to teach my own class at the YMCA,I taught up until I was 9 months pregnant with my now 11 year old, Madden. I took a break after having him for 2 years. I couldn’t stand that there was no where for kids to experience what I did as a child in tumbling classes. I wanted to do my own thing and decided to open my own place so I could run it the way I wanted to run it. It was a huge success! I’ve met so many kids! Some that have been with me for 9 whole years! Some that have been with my since they were in my mommy and me class and are now 9!😭 I’m starting to see some graduate! (Actually, Valedictorian, Madison Strawser last night...Congrats Madison and all of the other Graduates)
Closing down with a wait list of over 40 kids on my Beginner wait list and a page of kids for my toddler and mommy and me wait list is extremely hard! I hate it to be quite honest. I hate closing with the ones that had just joined that were showing SO much improvement and not giving them the opportunity reach their full potential and of course the ones that have been with me for a while and are working so hard to meet their next skill! To be a part time job and have nearly 700 kids a year is AMAZING! Thank you for supporting my small business! Thank you for trusting me and my staff with your children! Thank you For EVERYTHING! I hope to be back soon! I hope to find a place that is bigger and better! (Which was needed too as I feel I was outgrowing what I had once again) 💕🤸♀️💕
I’m attaching the note that was passed out to my classes last week explaining what’s going on as to why I’m having to close up for a while. I will be keeping my Studio page and will update if/when I find a new place!
I wish your children so much success......I will be watching for videos on Facebook! One thing I love the most about Facebook is staying in touch!
