Bling Tour Family & Friends,
I’m reaching out with a message that comes from a very full heart. After much thoughtful reflection, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close Bling Tour in early July following our Dance Company's National Competition. Our 2026 Recital will be our final event together as a studio, and my deepest hope is that we celebrate this chapter with joy, pride, and all the positive energy our performers will bring to the stage.
This decision has not been easy. I have poured 13 beautiful years into building Bling Tour, and it has truly been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Our staff, our students, and our families have all helped shape Bling Tour into something incredibly special. You are the reason this studio became a family, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.
While we are closing, we still have the remainder of the season to finish out and I want our dancers to fully enjoy every moment ahead—laughing, performing, and making memories that will stay with them forever.
As you begin planning for the future, I highly recommend Studance Lab or Evolve Dance and Fitness. While both studios reside outside of Surprise, they are two studios with owners and positive cultures I absolutely support. Both offer wonderful training environments and supportive communities that align well with the spirit and standards we’ve built here at Bling.
It is heartbreaking to step away from my students, but I know deep in my soul that Bling has already given them something lasting—confidence, resilience, artistry, and friendships that will stay with them wherever they go. As a very good friend reminded me today, Bling has prepared them not just for dance, but for life. Together, we have built a legacy to be proud of—one that will continue living in each of them.
I am grateful for each and every one of you. I couldn’t be more proud of our students, our teachers, our families, and the community we created together. Thank you for being part of my journey. Please know that I will always be here for my students, in any way they need me. I can be reached on Facebook or Instagram.
Lots of love and the biggest hugs,
Joannie D. Collins
