In 2022 God made one of my dreams come a reality. Ever since I was a teenager I remember wanting to own a dance company one day. Little did I know that the seed he planted in my heart, he would water it and make it bloom into something truly beautiful. The last 3 years of this dream has been a roller coaster ride. One full of fun and excitement, a good many tears, lots of twists and turns, and a whole lot of faith.
In these years I’ve learned a lot. How to manage money, set a budget, manage a schedule, ways to try and grow business, time management and a lot of communication skills.
Having a business means being able to put in 100% in the studio means you do about 150% or more behind the scenes on your own time. It’s a lot of late nights putting in work to make everything run smoothly. Being the only teacher I have noticed that dancing for 22 years has let me know I’m not as young as I used to be!
I’ve learned that I love kids truly and love to see them grow in something they love. I’ve learned what the art of dance truly is for me.
It’s also shown me what’s truly important to me in my personal life. That being at all the events for my child, pouring into her as a child that is growing, and being with my family is where my heart is and where the Lord is leading me to. He’s given me new dreams and new doors to walk through with my family.
The past few months I’ve learned that 2 things can exist at once- that just because things are hard they can also be very meaningful. That you can hold both joy and sorrow at the same time. That God can give you a dream but that it doesn’t mean it will last forever.
With all of this being said, it is with a bittersweet heart that I announce the closing of Revival Dance Company this summer. It has truly been some of the best years of my life. 3 years I will never trade. I love all of my dance babies and always will. I will forever hold them and the memories we made together close to my heart.
Thank you to all the parents, family, friends, and my G baby for the support you have given RDC. Thank you to Heather and Hallie for sticking it out with me and being the best staff I could have asked for. This dream wouldn’t have happened if not for Gods faithfulness and your support.
We are looking forward to one more recital for RDC. Please come and support our final show and support all the hard work the dancers and tumblers have put into this show. You won’t regret it.
With a lot of love- Rae
