Seven years ago, I began my Jazzercise journey the way so many of you did, dragged there by a friend who wouldn’t shut up about it (looking at you, Hollie Brown).
I had two left feet, stiff hips, and couldn’t skip to save my life. Despite my snarky remarks about leg warmers and unitards, I was instantly hooked. Never in a million years would I have imagined that I’d go on to teach and eventually become the owner of the very studio where I found my feet (and my hips- thanks, Catherine!).
But here’s the thing about Jazzercise... you show up looking for a workout, and somehow you leave with something so much more valuable. You find a family. A group of people who will cheer you on, laugh with you, sweat beside you, and see you through celebrations, heartbreaks, and everything in between.
I’m incredibly grateful to Catherine and Molly for the years of love, energy, and heart they have poured into this studio and this community, and especially for trusting me to carry it forward into its next chapter. What you’ve built here is so much more than a place to work out, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly.
To our amazing team of instructors: thank you for showing up again and again with energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for the people who walk through our doors. This place simply wouldn’t be what it is without you.
And to every customer who has danced, sweated, laughed, celebrated, struggled, started over, or just kept showing up, thank you. You are the reason this place feels like home.
I’m so excited for what comes next. I may technically be the “new owner,” but this studio belongs to all of us. I’m honored to be the one who gets to help lead it into its next chapter.
Here’s to the next chapter.
