Tell us about yourself
I am one of the current owners and had my first dance class with En Avant in 1988. I discovered my passion for dance and am fortunate to have pursued and embraced it my whole life. It has been a lifelong dream to own the studio I started at, and when that dream became a reality, it was amazing. The people who come through the studio doors are what motivates me; it's such a wonderful feeling to see how happy dance makes them.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Coming up with new ideas that improve the business overall.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Being the boss. Being the boss is one of the main reasons people want to own a business, but being in the hot seat presents some key challenges.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
To stay organized, motivated, and have fun within the business — don't focus on the negative.
