Tomorrow will be my last class ever at my “home away from home,” my dance studio. It’s so sad to think about it. I thought the studio would be open for many more years. I’ve been dancing there since 1997. The studio owner taught all of my classes (though I did have the opportunity to work under guest teachers, which was amazing). Her family is basically family to me. Even after I left for college, I came back for summer classes and visited as much as I could. After college, I was welcomed back with open arms. While the building will still be a studio and my teacher will continue to teach two nights a week, it’s still sad to watch the studio I’ve known and loved for the past 22 years be transformed into something different.
Here’s to everything, TVSD. 1985-2019. Let’s make this Sunday our best performance yet! While I am sad, I’m also looking forward to the new opportunities to come under the new management.
