Dance Studio Owners

We here at Dance Teacher Web would just like to take a moment to thank you all for another wonderful year. It has been an eventful one for us and we’re sure it has been for you too. It’s not hard to believe yet another full year has gone by so quickly! You have all grown and changed, adapted and persevered. This is the time of year however, when we should all be able to take a breath for a moment, slow down and enjoy the fruits of our labor and remember why we do what we do.

As dance teachers and studio owners we are always on the go; sometimes forgetting to allow ourselves a period of respite. It may be the season of giving and doing one for others but we’d like to say thank you to all of you, who do this day in and day out all year through. Your students couldn’t do it without you. So, this season allow yourself to just STOP……for a moment and take a look at all you have achieved, provided for others and how you've impacted your dancers' lives. Enjoy. Take a moment to smile and feel grateful for all that is upon you and for all you have accomplished. Life will always ebb and flow but is precious and short; going by quicker and quicker with every year. Allow this season to be one you truly appreciate and enjoy with your family and loved ones.

May the New Year bring you even more success, happiness and abundance and may your students thrive and achieve all the goals you and your faculty set out for them. We will be thinking of you and are here to celebrate the momentous occasions 2015 has in store for you.

Wishing you all the most wonderful of holidays and the happiest, healthiest of New Years.

Warmest Wishes & Love,

The Dance Teacher Web Family

See you in the dance studio…in 2015! :)
