🎉 STEP OUT! IS A FINALIST! 🎉

I’m excited to share that Step Out! has been selected as a finalist for the Arts & Entertainment Award at the 2026 Squamish Chamber Of Commerce of Commerce Business Excellence Awards!

First, thank you to everyone who nominated us and to the panel who selected us as a finalist. ❤️

And now, a little honesty…

These awards involve two stages: a judging process to select the finalists, followed by a public vote to determine the winner.

Which means the final result is partly about the work we do here at Step Out! and partly about how many people you can rally behind you!

As a small, independent business, I’ve always found this part a little tricky.

A business’s impact on its community isn’t necessarily measured by its number of followers or votes. But I also recognise the power of community support, and I’m willing to play the game one last time! 😉

For five years, Step Out! has been creating spaces for people to build confidence, connect, embrace imperfection and discover the power of play through improv classes, performances, workshops, retreats and community events.

If you’ve laughed with us, learned with us, played with us, or believe in what we’re building, I’d be so grateful for your vote! 🙌

🗳️ VOTE HERE:
https://squamishcc.awardify.io/voting/2026-squamish-chamber-business-excellence-awards/arts-and-entertainment-award/2026-ENJT7E-3 or through link in bio 👉

📩 IMPORTANT: After voting, check your email (including junk/spam!) and click the verification link. Your vote won’t count until it’s verified!

Voting closes Friday October 23rd.

You can vote from anywhere, so please share with friends and family near and far.

Win or lose, I’m proud of what Step Out! has grown into and grateful for this community.

Thank you for being part of it. 💛

Let’s see what happens when we put the power of play… and a whole lot of votes… together! 😉

🍂 HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 🍂

And speaking of giving and receiving... let's talk about the first rule of improv: ACCEPT THE OFFER. 💛

Watch Doug and Zoe show you what happens when we DON'T accept offers (spoiler: it gets messy, it gets funny, and it's NOT supportive).

Then watch what happens when we DO accept them—even when it's uncomfortable, even when it's not what we expected. ✨

Here's the beautiful thing: accepting an offer isn't just an improv rule.

It's a life principle.

When someone gives you something—an idea, a suggestion, an invitation, their gratitude—and you accept it, you're saying:

"Yes, and I see you. I receive what you're offering. I'm here with you."

That's what Thanksgiving is all about, isn't it?

Giving. Receiving.

Accepting the offerings of the people around us.

Saying "yes, and thank you" to connection and community. 🙏💫

So today, on this day of gratitude, we're asking:
Will you accept OUR offer?

Come laugh with us. Come play with us.
Come experience the magic of a community saying "Yes, And" together.

🎭 LOOK AT HOW FAR WE'VE COME 🎭

This is the Step Out! Improv Troupe at their last student showcase in June. But here's what's changed: they're not students anymore. They're performers. Professional performers. 🔥

For 3 to 5 years, these humans showed up to classes. They played. They grew. They built trust and connection with each other. They learned the craft. They fell in love with improv.

Now? They're ready to share that craft, that connection, that passion with YOU.

'Off Route' is their breakout show—a night where they take everything they've learned, everything they've built together, and elevate it to a whole new level.

This isn't a student showcase. This is what happens when a community of improvisers steps into their power. ✨

But here's the thing: Step Out! is community-first. So we're making sure EVERY current improv student gets a discounted ticket for themselves or a friend. Because this is what we celebrate together. 💛

🎭 MEET THE STEP OUT! IMPROV TROUPE 🎭

Swipe to meet the humans behind the magic! 💛

These seven incredible performers have been taking classes with me for 3 to 5 YEARS. They've played together through every season, created really strong bonds, and fit together so beautifully—complimenting each other's strengths and lifting each other up when things get tough. 🤝✨

They are no longer students. They are PAID improv performers, ready to spread their wings and show Squamish what they're made of! 🔥

What started as a community of humans saying "Yes, And" to play, growth, and connection has evolved into something extraordinary. This troupe embodies the Step Out! way: they show up vulnerably, they trust each other deeply, and they create magic together. 💫

And now? They're ready for their moment!

Come witness the magic. Come support your friends and neighbors as they take the stage. Come experience improv at its finest!

I had some thoughts. So I talked about them. 🎭💛

In this little ramble, I’m talking about something I think about A LOT: curious listening. 👂✨

Most of us think we’re pretty good listeners. But often, someone starts talking and our brain immediately jumps in:

🧠 Building an agenda — convinced we already know the answer
😰 Constructing a response — worrying about what to say next

And just like that? We’ve stopped listening.

The other person is still talking. But we’re gone. 🌀

And here’s the wild part: we often don’t even realize it’s happening. Our nervous system is running in the background, deciding whether the conversation feels safe. 💛

This is exactly where improv comes in. 🎭

You cannot do improv without curious listening. It’s how you build a scene, respond to your partner and stay present.

And when you practice it repeatedly through playful, low-stakes games, something starts to shift. 🌿

You become calmer. More present. More connected.

Not because you’re trying harder to listen — but because you’re giving your nervous system repeated experiences of being safe in conversation. 🦋

And we do ALL of this through play. 😂🎪

Because what better way to develop a skill that affects your relationships, your work and your ability to truly connect than to laugh your way there? 🔥💛

Beginner improv starts October 1st! 🌱

Only 2 spots left — and curious listening is just ONE of the things you’ll walk away with. 👂✨
