As another year comes to an end, it’s hard to put into words just how proud we are of every single person who makes AJ Studios what it is. ❤️
I always find these posts so hard to write because I never feel like they do justice to how grateful I actually am.
One thing I’ve found myself thinking about a lot recently is just how far some of our families travel to be here. We now have dancers making the journey every single week from places like Blackburn and Middleton - over 45 minutes each way - just to train with us.
That honestly blows my mind.
When I first opened AJ Studios, I never imagined people would travel that far because they believed in what we’re building. It’s something I’ll never take for granted, and it reminds me every day that we’re creating something really special together.
Fast forward to now… we’ve had 185 dancers through our doors this season, represented Team England at the Dance World Cup, celebrated a World Champion, and watched our dancers achieve things I honestly never thought possible.
Thank you to every dancer who’s walked through our doors this year. Thank you for trusting us, working hard, making us laugh, keeping us on our toes and making AJ what it is.
To every parent… thank you for every journey, every competition weekend, every costume, every message and every bit of support you’ve given us. We honestly couldn’t do it without you.
And to my staff… thank you. You all care so much about these dancers and this studio, and I know how many hours go in behind the scenes that nobody ever sees. I’m so lucky to have such an amazing team around me.
This studio has grown so much over the last year, and sometimes I have to stop and remind myself that this is actually real.
Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far. Whether you’ve been here since day one or joined us this season, you’ve all played a part in making AJ Studios what it is today.
Season 6 already feels like it’s going to be our biggest chapter yet… and I genuinely can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next.
Thank you for believing in AJ Studios. Here’s to making even more memories together ❤️
