When studio owner, Sarah Johnson, announced she was closing the doors to her beloved dance studio, it was a shock to the community. But, as it turns out, Sarah's departure from the studio doesn't mean she's dancing away from Lincoln. Far from it.
Sarah, a passionate dancer and instructor, has been a fixture in Lincoln's dance scene for over a decade. Her studio, which offered classes in a variety of styles, including ballet, tap, and hip-hop, has been a hub for dance enthusiasts of all ages.
So, what's behind Sarah's decision to close the studio? "It was a tough decision, but I felt like I'd reached a plateau," she explains. "I'd been running the studio for a long time, and while it was still successful, I felt like I was losing my passion for it. I needed a change."
But, as Sarah points out, her love for dance isn't going anywhere. "I'm not done dancing yet," she says with a smile. "I'm just taking a different approach. I'm going to focus on teaching and performing, rather than running a studio."
In fact, Sarah is already making plans to continue teaching dance classes in the Lincoln area. She's currently in talks with a local community center to offer classes, and she's also considering starting a mobile dance program, where she'll travel to different locations to teach.
"I'm excited to see what the future holds," Sarah says. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue doing what I love, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this new chapter takes me."
For fans of Sarah's studio, the news may be bittersweet. While it's sad to see the studio go, it's reassuring to know that Sarah's passion for dance will continue to thrive in Lincoln. As she puts it, "Dance is a part of who I am, and I'm not going anywhere."
