To the Flexpointe Studios Inc. Community:
Since starting Flexpointe in 2006, I have had the opportunity to work with so many amazing families and teachers. When I set out on this journey I had a dream of creating a community that was supportive of one another, and had a strong focus on creativity and personal growth. While the road was not always smooth, I am immensely proud of what Flexpointe has become and what our community has achieved.
Life itself is a journey and in our journey we inevitably reach forks in our road. These are points in our lives where we need to make big decisions. For me, this time has arrived.
After much contemplation and conversation with my family, I have made the decision to close Flexpointe Studios at the end of this dance season. To be clear, this does not change the remainder of the current dance season. Current classes and all scheduled performances (including our June Recital) will continue as planned.
I am incredibly grateful for all of the memories that we have shared over the years and honoured that you have trusted our team with your child’s dance training. We are a special place and you have contributed to making this community so special. I want to honestly and deeply thank you for this.
I wanted to share this information with our community now so that families can have time to process the news over Spring Break. I recognize that for some this news is exciting, and for others this may be more challenging to hear. Sharing this news at this time in the year allows everyone in our community the time they need for celebration and closure. We are planning a family event in May where we can celebrate our journey together over the last 16 years, and of course we still have our annual Recital in June. I will also be providing information in April to help you select the next dance studio for your family.
Spring is a time of new beginnings and new opportunities. With the Flexpointe journey coming to an end, this is the start of a new journey and new opportunities. Let us enjoy the remainder of our time together and look forward to what our future holds. I look forward to speaking more with you when we return to classes in April.
Have an amazing Spring Break.
