As we enter a new year, it’s a great time to reflect on the past year. 2016 was good to us. From a business standpoint, we continued to expand and improve and we grew into a new market (Chattanooga, TN). From a personal standpoint, it was one of the best of my life. I welcomed my first child and became a mom. I’m not sure how 2017 could live up to 2016, but I can’t wait to see what it has in store.
As a little girl all I wanted to do was dance. I also wanted to be a lawyer and be famous. I long ago realized that being famous wouldn’t be ideal. And, as for the lawyer thing, I couldn’t sit still long enough to make it in a traditional job. Thankfully, I was able to make a career out of moving. While I can’t speak for everyone at Studio Go, I think it’s safe to say that most of us pinch ourselves that we get to dance and have fun for a job.
I don’t believe in “resolutions”, but I certainly believe in goals. I have several goals for Studio Go for 2017. My top goal is to continue to maintain our integrity and our level of personalized customer service while we continue to grow. I also plan to assess what is working well, what can be improved upon, and what needs to be changed in order to best serve our customers. And, finally, I want each parent to feel like their child is receiving the best in dance education. After all, it isn’t just about learning dance. It’s also about being a part of our Studio Go family.
As we move into 2017 our first big undertaking is that we are expanding into the Athens area. Classes will begin on Monday, January 16th. We’re currently offering classes at Athens YWCO and Oconee Preschool Academy. We have a Managing Director who is local to Athens and she will provide the same level of personalized service that we do here in Atlanta.
We have several other exciting things in the pipeline for 2017 as well and we can’t wait to share those with you as we roll them out. I know that 2017 is going to be a great year. My hope is that 2017 is also a great year for each of you. Thank you for continuing to entrust your children to us.
From Studio Go, and me personally, best wishes for a prosperous, joyful, and healthy New Year.
Cheers,
Leah
