Dear Passion Family,

 

It feels surreal to be writing this after over 10 years of nurturing and growing Passion Studio—what has truly been my heart and soul. From day one, this studio has been my life, and it’s been an incredible journey. The privilege of working alongside such amazing teachers, staff, and students (both past and present) has been a gift I will cherish forever. Each of you has played a special role in making Passion what it is today.

 

As many of you know, Olga and I have recently made the move to the Sunshine Coast, and with that, we’ve stepped into a new chapter in our lives. It’s been a big transition, and with that change, I knew deep down it was time for me to pass the torch.

 

Passion Studio is so much more than just a place—it’s a community, a family, and a legacy. I couldn’t bear the thought of it coming to an end when I stepped down, because what we’ve created here together is far bigger than just me.

 

So, after much thought, reflection, and many conversations, I’m beyond proud to announce that the new co-Directors and co-owners of Passion will be Lowell and Jules. They are not only respected leaders within our dance community but also dear friends whose integrity and vision I trust completely. I’ve had the honour of working closely with them for some time now, and I know they are the perfect team to carry Passion forward.

 

They have big dreams and exciting plans for the future of Passion, and I couldn’t be more thrilled for what’s ahead. I’m filled with excitement knowing that Passion will continue to grow and thrive under their guidance. The future of this studio is in amazing hands.

 

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this journey with me. I’ll always carry the memories of our time together with immense gratitude. ❤️🙏
