A little scheduling reminder 💛

I’ve had a pretty significant increase in last-minute cancellations recently — many with less than 48 hours’ notice and quite a few with less than 24.

I completely understand that life happens. Kids get sick, injuries happen, schedules change, and sometimes things are simply outside of our control. I will always do my best to be understanding and flexible when I can.

That said, I also need to gently remind everyone that teaching is my livelihood. When you reserve a private lesson, that time is set aside specifically for your dancer. With less than 48 hours’ notice, it can be extremely difficult — and with less than 24 hours, often impossible — to fill that time with another student.

A cancellation doesn’t just create an unexpected hour off; it means losing income from a time slot that another dancer could have booked.

My current cancellation policy asks for at least 72 hours’ notice whenever possible. Cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice are subject to a $50 cancellation fee and cancellations within 24 hours may be charged the full lesson fee.

I truly appreciate every family who chooses to work with me and supports my small business. I love what I do, and I’m incredibly grateful that I get to make my living doing it. 💛

Thank you for respecting my time, my schedule, and the policies that allow me to continue doing this work. by @misslmdance

Yesterday we received some very upsetting information about our sweet Jama, and my heart is hurting as we try to figure out what comes next.

Jama is so much more than my pet. She’s my best friend, my daughter, my support system and, in so many ways, the reason I’m still here today. Before she came into my life, I was crippled by my complex PTSD. This tiny little girl gave me my life back. 🤍

I will do everything in my power to give her the very best care, while making sure her happiness, comfort and quality of life always come first. Right now, we’re taking things one day at a time and loving her through the good days and the harder ones.

So if you see Jama at the studio, please don’t be afraid to love on her. Just ask me first to make sure she’s feeling up to it — and then throw the ball, give the cuddles and enjoy that famous little wiggle butt. 🥹🐾 I want her days filled with as many of her favorite things and favorite people as possible.

She truly loves you guys as much as you love her. Love can’t keep her physically here forever, but it can surround her every single day she is here — and it will keep her in our hearts always. So please, please give her ALL the love you want. 🤍

Thank you for loving my girl and for being gentle with me and my little family right now. Depending on what comes next with her care, I may occasionally need to adjust my teaching schedule, and I’m so grateful for your flexibility and understanding.

For now, we’re just going to love our little girl really, really big. 🤍🐾 taken in Oswego, Illinois by @misslmdance

I’ve never posted this routine before, and somehow I’m glad I waited. Today feels like the right time. ❤️‍🩹

This was an Acro piece I choreographed to Dolly Parton’s cover of “Heartbreaker” — my favorite cover of one of my favorite songs, sung by my favorite artist @dollyparton , and danced by some of my very favorite students of all time.

It was also my last recital with this studio, although I had absolutely no idea at the time that it would be. Looking at it now, that makes this one hold even more memories than I realized.

There’s something bittersweet about getting to share it today — a little piece of my own history set to the voice of someone whose music has been part of so many moments and memories throughout my life.

Rest in peace, Dolly. 💔 Thank you for the music, the joy, the stories, and a lifetime of memories. Your voice will live forever. 🦋✨

PS: I know it’s not as clean as it could be - but if you ask anyone one of the girls if they had a blast doing it - the answer is YES. They were smiling from EAR to EAR when they got off that stage.

Girls (@maeve_mcanelly @selena.he2014 @avery.huang.dance @niximaxwell @delaineykrz @hannah.elizabeth_dancer @christianaschnuda) I’m so proud of you all, always have been & always will be. 🫶 by @misslmdance

I’m often asked, “What studio should my dancer go to?” And the truth is, there isn’t one answer that fits every dancer.

Instead of focusing on which studio, I encourage families to focus on what to look for in a studio and its teachers. 💜 The right environment should prioritize safe, quality training while challenging your dancer, building their confidence, and supporting them as a whole person.

✨ The best studio isn’t necessarily the biggest, busiest, or the one with the most trophies—it’s the one where your dancer can safely learn, grow, and thrive.

Some goals take a little longer… because they’re meant to teach us something along the way. ❤️

Today was one of those days.

After years of showing up, trusting the process, pushing through frustration, and refusing to give up, Zoey—our sweet “Zo-Zo”—landed her very first aerial.

No one sees the countless attempts, the mental blocks, the corrections, or the days when progress feels slow.

But today wasn’t just about an aerial.

It was about perseverance.

It was about believing in yourself when the outcome isn’t immediate.

It was about proving that hard work, patience, and determination eventually pay off.

The emotion that followed wasn’t because she landed one skill—it was the realization that she had accomplished something she’d been chasing for a long time.

Zo-Zo, watching your confidence grow has been one of the greatest joys as your teacher. You earned this moment through grit, resilience, and the courage to keep trying.

I couldn’t be prouder of you.

Congratulations on your first aerial. This is only the beginning. 💙
