What We're Thankful For
By: The DWC Team
Emma:
I have so much to be thankful for this year! This past year was my first year freelancing as a professional dancer in Seattle, and I had so many wonderful opportunities come my way, which also led to meeting some amazing people and artists in our local dance community. I was able to build a close-knit group of friends and I am very, very grateful to have a support system that I know will have my back no matter what. This next season of my life is very exciting, as I am gearing up for ballet company audition season. I can't wait to see what will come next for me, as well as for DWC!
Olivia:
I am thankful for my parents and DWC for being so quick and open to welcome me home after my busy year and a half in San Francisco. I am also thankful for my best friend and cat, Maxine. She has put up with a lot of traveling between SF and Seattle and she is the best little travel buddy I can ask for. I'm looking forward to continuing fitting pointe shoes at DWC and putting my new degree in fashion design to work!
Samantha:
Although the last few years brought many challenges, they came strolling (and sometimes barreling) into my life arm-in-arm with an abundance of riches. Day in and day out, I get to teach, dance, fit pointe shoes, and exercise my creative and critical thinking skills! I have amazing students who are smart, brave, and dedicated, incredible clients at DWC who support us so fiercely, and colleagues that I teach for and alongside who are truly brilliant educators and people. My family (especially my mom & husband) support me and love me through my ups and downs, which allows me to chase my dreams while simultaneously supporting others while they chase theirs. Of course, I can't forget my phenomenal team at DWC. These individuals are the absolute lifeblood of this small retail business. They are passionate, innovative, and caring - and it shows in every interaction.
As I reflect on the wealth of love and joy I have in my life, I am most thankful for the unfathomable gift of being able to wake up every single day and work exclusively in a field I love - something so many people dream about and so few actually get to do. Being able to do it all alongside people that I have such a tremendous amount of respect for? Absolutely incomparable. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Ethan:
I am grateful that I was able to do a bit of traveling this year and see family that I have not seen in many years. My family is very spread out and it was a privilege to see them. I am looking forward to taking some rest from this very busy year and watching all the movies!
