✨ 2026 END OF YEAR WIND-UP ✨

What an incredibly emotional way to close out 2026 at En Pointe Dance Academy South West 🤍

There were certainly many tears shed as we shared the news that En Pointe will not be reopening in 2027.
While it was an incredibly difficult announcement to make, it also made our final wind-up such a beautiful and meaningful opportunity to come together one last time and celebrate everything we have achieved throughout the year, and everything we have built together over the years.

Amongst the tears were plenty of smiles, laughter, memories and moments of immense pride as we celebrated our incredible students and all of their achievements.

A huge congratulations to our 2026 Student of the Year Scholarship winners, Ashlyn Falcinella and Harper Glancy!

Both Ashlyn and Harper were awarded a monetary prize to put towards their dance training in 2027.

To every student, family and teacher who has been part of En Pointe, thank you.
Thank you for the memories, the friendships, the laughter, the challenges, the achievements and, most importantly, for allowing us to be part of your dance journeys.

Although this chapter is coming to an end, the memories we have created together will stay with us forever 🤍

PART 2: THE END OF AN ERA 😭

I feel incredibly lucky that I have been able to do something that I love for the past decade, and even luckier that I have been able to share that with so many wonderful families.
 
So thank you, for trusting me with your children; for driving the kilometres; waiting in car parks; helping with costumes; remembering shoes and tights; getting the students to rehearsals; supporting them through exams and competitions; and cheering them on from the audience.
And thank you for believing in me, and in En Pointe.
 
To my dancers, thank you for giving me eight years of memories that I will never forget.
I hope you know how proud I am of every single one of you.
 
You have taught me just as much as I have taught you, and I will always be incredibly grateful that I got to be your teacher.
 
En Pointe Dance Academy may be coming to an end, but I hope that the friendships, confidence, resilience and love of dance that you have found here, will stay with you long after you leave this studio.
 
For anyone who has questions, whether that’s today, next week or over the coming months, about how or where to move forward with your child's dance training, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I am more than happy to have a chat, help where I can and support you in finding the right next step for your child.
 
So, after eight incredible years, I just want to say thank you, for making this chapter something I will treasure for the rest of my life.
I am incredibly proud of what we have built together, and I will always be incredibly grateful that I got to be a part of your dance journey.

PART 1: THE END OF AN ERA 😭

When I started En Pointe eight years ago, I don’t think I could have imagined just how much this little studio would become such a massive part of my life.
 
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to watch so many of our dancers grow from little beginners, into confident, talented young people.
I’ve watched first classes, first concerts, first pointe shoes, exam results, competitions, auditions, successes, disappointments, tears, laughter and so many incredibly special moments.
 
And somewhere along the way, these dancers became so much more than just students to me.
They became a very special part of my life.
 
So, what I’m about to say is something that I have found incredibly difficult to put into words.
But with Miss Ella moving to Perth, and with my first baby due to arrive very soon, I have had to make a really difficult decision about what the future looks like for me and my family.
 
For those who may not be aware, I actually live in Bunbury, and for the past eight years, I have travelled to and from Manjimup to teach and run En Pointe Dance Academy.
As much as I have absolutely loved every minute of it, I know that I can’t continue to do that while also being the mum and wife that I want to be.

So, it’s with a very heavy heart, I need to let you all know, that En Pointe Dance Academy South West will not be reopening in 2027.

This has honestly been one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, and I want everyone to know that this decision isn’t because I have fallen out of love with dance, or because I don’t love this studio.
In fact, it is quite the opposite.

I love this studio, our dancers, and what we have created here.
Which is what makes saying goodbye so incredibly difficult.
But sometimes, life gives us new chapters that require us to make difficult choices.
And right now, my next chapter is becoming a mum and building a life with my own little family; and as heartbreaking as it is to close the doors of En Pointe, I need to put myself, and them first.

To be continued...
