Dear GMS Dance Family,
I’m writing this message with a deep sense of gratitude. Every class, every conversation, and every connection formed within these walls and at the barre has meant the world to me. I’ve cherished the laughter, the learning, and the incredible energy you all brought into the studio. Thank you for being part of something truly special.
After much reflection, I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to permanently close our studio, effective July 1st. This choice has not come lightly. June has been a time for me to focus on health, personal goals, and overall well-being. This decision has been shaped by a balance of personal health, work-life alignment, and the ongoing realities of running a small business.
As many of you know, this studio was built from love, sweat, tears, and a dream—to create a welcoming space where adults could move, connect, and grow through dance. And what a beautiful, meaningful journey it has been. It’s important to remember that this was, at its core, a small business—created with heart and intention. And while this chapter is coming to a close, please know this decision has weighed heavily on me and was made only after careful thought and care.
If you’ve purchased a class or membership that will not be used, please don’t hesitate to reach out before July 15th—I’ll be more than happy to provide a refund.
Though the studio doors will close, the community we created together will always live on in the relationships, memories, and joy we shared. I’ll still have my email and would love to hear from those who’ve been part of this amazing community so we can stay in touch.
For those looking to continue moving your body, here are some great local resources for adult dance classes:
Cardio Line Dance – Smooth Flava Dance, Gainesville Chapter, Ms. Wanda
IndepenDance – Ballet & Hip-Hop
Cameron Dancenter – Ballet, Tap & Jazz
Salsa Mundial – Salsa & Bachata
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for dancing with me.
With love and deep appreciation,
Jen
