Yes! Last weekend, it finally happened—I reached the All-Star level! ⭐️

Achievements like this are rarely a solo effort, and I’m beyond grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey.

Huge thanks to Ari and Kati, who coached us back in the boogie-woogie days, and to Chuck, who introduced us to our first workshop experience 2015. 🤌

In 2017, we fully stepped into the world of West Coast Swing with Hanna Tuominen classes. And, of course, to Pj and Tashina, whose coaching program prepared us in so many ways.❤️

A special thank you to my partner in life and dance, and the mother of our children, Reetta—thank you for your unwavering support. We’ve lifted each other every step of the way. And to all the friends who’ve cheered us on and celebrated each milestone, thank you!

There are also so many other teachers and dancers whose private lessons and conversations have been priceless along the way. You know who you are—thank you as well.

If I mentioned everyone, this list would be longer than the credits of The Lord of the Rings! 😅

Now, let’s keep pushing forward next year! 🔥

Ich wüsste nichts anderes, als diese Zeit als „umwerfend“ zu beschreiben. Finnische Sonnenaufgänge, Baden mit Gänsen, barfuß im Regen, eine Moose Safari, Frühstück mit Freunden, wundervolle Tänze, Schlafsack, Lagerfeuer und Freundschaften fürs Leben.
Ich wüsste nicht, was besser als „umwerfend“ passt - so viele wundervolle Momente mit Menschen, die einen ganz großen Platz in meinem Herzen haben, Verbindungen, gemeinsame Vorhaben für die Zukunft schaffen. Ich bin so dankbar, dass ich daran teilhaben darf.

Thank You, Tack så jättemycket för allt!!

Second #throwback to our super snowy trip to Sweden and Finland last month now that I've collected the photos from everyone - I must say @thetraildancer took some really good couple shots for us! 😆

Given the sweltering heat 🥵 in Singapore this week... I actually really miss the cold! ❄️

Well wishes from Chuck Brown for our up-coming 10th anniversary celebrations!

Thank you for all the time spend with us and helping with the growth of our community over the past 10 years.

You were with us from the very beginning, when we were less than 10 people and have seen the growth of a majority of our dancers since day 1.

We miss you greatly and looking forward to having you back in Malaysia very soon!
