Monday

Hi All,
What a wonderful weekend! We hope you all had a nice holiday-for those celebrating Easter. And, for those celebrating Passover, we hope you are continuing to enjoy your holiday.

K and I have owned our business together almost 16 years and it's certainly never been boring! Change happens and, while we sometimes want to stop it, change does move us forward.

For now, we're saying 'so long' (not goodbye!) to 2 of our instructors:
KF has decided to go back to being a student for now. She has a very busy career and it can also be intense. We have already seen her on the dancefloor and look forward to that continuing!

PA has also decided to return to student-hood. She has a very busy family life with 2 wonderful kids whose schedules are growing by the day. We hope to have her on the dancefloor as well and we hope they will both change their minds one day and return to the stage. They will be sorely missed!

Both have been a huge part of our success and we could not have gotten where we are without each one of these special ladies! We would never want say 'goodbye' (that's too final) so we simply say, 'so long and see you in class'!

When change like this happens there's always a lot of gossip (is someone pregnant? was there a conflict? On both counts-NO) so let's try and keep that to a minimum and realize that people's lives change. Period. It happens. Nothing is forever even though we may want it to be so. There doesn't always have to be a story behind everything-it can simply be that change was needed for someone, which causes change for others too!

J. Inc. embraces change-it is what has kept us 'in it' for the last 40 years and we're going to be embracing change as well, here in Chelmsford. Again, we would like things to stay the same, but we know they cannot. Lack of change makes things stagnant and a successful business can never be stagnant!

So, as we welcome a new instructor (KA) to our team and say, again, simply 'so long' to 2 important folks from our team, we will go forward knowing that we're here, offering great classes with terrific instructors and all enjoying the dance together!

See you on the dancefloor!
