Dearest Dance family,
It is with utmost love, gratitude and appreciation for you and deeply saddened hearts that we come to you today with the announcement to close our Studio 7 doors. Our dance home has held space and moments that we will forever cherish and we cannot express in words what the past 7 seasons have meant to us. Please take a moment to hear our heartfelt message to you in the video, and know that it has been a great honor to serve our city and community with open hands, creative expression, authentic connection, diversity and empowerment. Our hope has always been that our dance family & studio existence would be a glimpse of Heaven on Earth, and that has been tru because if each of you, showing up bravely just as you are and welcoming one another. Thank you for being a piece of our Heaven on Earth.
You and your families are in our hearts through this difficult time. We carry you always. We cannot thank you enough for your support, words of encouragement during this time.
We welcome your process with us as we journey to the finish line together. If at any time you choose to share or post any regards, memories, etc. we ask that you use so that our team can find and see them all and we can look back on them as we process, grieve, and celebrate our journey together both now and in coming days.
We look forward to seeing our sweet dancers that have worked so hard this season come together to finish strong in our closing recital next week and to continue our adult zoom classes through May. It is our honor to have this last dance month with you.
To all of our adult and children, parents, grandparents, friends and dance family, we pray that the treasures God has blessed you with in our time together will remain sacred, encourage you and your family, and continue to bless you always as we recall this beautiful journey together.
Once dance fam, always dance fam.
All our love,
Chris and Stacey Johnson, owners
Skye Latimer, Adult Dance Director
Jordan McGinley, Kids Dance Director
and all our Studio 7 Teachers
