Last but certainly not least, our founder, owner, and creator behind Forthcoming’s vision, Jodi Flatoff!
Years ago, Jodi opened the doors to what was then just a small studio—but with her vision, passion, and love for dance, it quickly grew into a home for countless dancers. A place where anyone who walks through the doors can feel confident, beautiful, and totally free to shine.
Through the years, Jodi has shared her talent, creativity, and deep love of dance across so many styles—jazz, tap, modern, ballet, hip hop—and her encouragement has left a lasting impression on dancers and families alike. More than anything, she’s helped young dancers find their voice, their strength, and their joy.
As we begin a new semester without Miss Jodi in the studio, her presence is still felt in so many ways. It lives in the energy of each class, the love that fills our studio, and in every dancer who continues to grow because of the strong, beautiful foundation she built. Because of her, Forthcoming isn’t just a studio—it’s a family.
Thank you, Jodi, for creating this space, for leading with love, and for giving so many of us a place to belong. Your legacy will always be a part of who we are. 💛
