I know this is really cheesy- but since we all know I am a nerd I am sending this anyway. :) I really wanted to say say thank you for finding the courage to open your own studio and provide a great environment for us to come and dance! Thank you really doesn't cover it.
I started taking classes at ADF back at the old studio, mainly hip hop, jazz and kick boxing (since I was too afraid to try pole), and I always had a great time at class. But when you opened Blue last year I decided I needed to great my butt back in shape and really do something for myself. I started the pole and aerial classes last January with the hopes of actually keeping a New Years resolution to loose weight. I have danced my whole life and always been relatively thin- but after I finished college and got married I stopped dancing and gained quite a bit of weight.
Last January, when I started at Blue, I weighed 165LBS- the most i have been at my entire life. I hated the way I looked- but more so- how I felt. Within just a few weeks I started to notice a huge change. I was slowly starting to loose weight and I was gaining muscle definition in my arms, which I never really had before. Blue has helped me find me again. A year later I still love taking the pole and aerial classes. And you have given me a new love with the trapeze!
I adore teaching Hoop and Trap- seeing so many girls struggle the same as I did and I get so excited for them when they accomplish something I know they struggled with. I love that I get to teach my "white girl" hip hop again and you have given me an outlet for all my crazy feelings in Jazz. I have slimmed down to a comfortable 135lbs, and i hope this year I can drop 10lbs more to get to my weight goal. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I love hanging out with all the girls and you and I look forward to our crazy adventures in the future!
you are the best!!

ReplyDeleteThanks again Meagan - Devon's right! Because you opened the studio YOU made it possible for the numerous girls that come through to gain more confidence than they think possible!
I thought I was confident before I started here, I really did... But after less than six months at the studio I have more confidence than I know what to do with! Thanks :)
I think you are gorgeous, keep the last ten, it keeps you curvy and therefore sexy!
