February is the month of love! With Valentines Day and Family Day packed inside, it’s no wonder that we have got love on the mind. Love to us is all about showing respect, acceptance, and kindness to everyone around us. So this month we wanted to inspire our dancers to spread the LOVE!

Our monthly intentions are a way to shine a spotlight on the life lessons that dance provides. From creating special bonds between dancers and families, to gratefulness and a growth mindset – it’s our aim to highlight these life lessons to our dancers and dance families. After all, dance is not just about learning how to move your feet, but how to let your heart lead!

What does LOVE mean to FDC?

Throughout the on-going Covid-19 Pandemic we have seen our community really step up and spread the love with one another. As the pandemic continues all of our patience, energy and compassion can feel like it is drying up inside of us. So our goal this month is to really focus on ways we can ‘fill the cup’ of our dance family.

Love, to us, means having the ability to speak with acceptance and respect for others. To be able to brighten someone’s day. To include all of our students in various opportunities. To celebrate little moments. It means saying thank you to our students for coming to class each day.

Love shows up in so many small ways all day long. Take a moment and appreciate it!

How is FDC Sharing the LOVE?

By being mindful of the ways we speak to and celebrate our students our staff hope to cultivate a studio of kindness and love. Years out of our own dance training, we may not remember the words our dance teachers used but we do remember the way that they made us feel coming and going out of the studio each night. It is our hope to bolster our students up to feel confident and kind when leaving class each night.

What’s the Plan?

Over the course of the month we will host a series of activities and events for all of our dancers…

  • Keep an eye out for our Share the Love Social Media Contest from Feb 8-14! Each day will be a different way to spread some kindness around to your own friends and family!
  • Dancers should check their mail leading up to Valentines Day for a special Valentine from their dance teachers!
  • Spread the local love! Don’t want to cook tonight? Try ordering takeout from a local restaurant. Keep our local businesses open and thriving during these crazy times!
  • Teacup and Tulip will be celebrating their birthdays this month and we are so excited to be celebrating with our 3-6 year old dancers!

 

I can’t wait to see how LOVE appears around the studio over the next month!

Dancingly Yours,

Miss Lainy
