Patience Persist and Pursue

A Message From The President and Ceo of Fred Astaire Dance Studios



These are very emotional and trying times. While the Coronavirus tries to deplete our health and sanity, it cannot take away the love and memories we have in our heart and our gut to get back to living as it was and should be. Dancing is one of them. 

To Live is to Dance - To Dance is to Live! 

Behind You - all memories are tucked away in your heart so no one can never take them from you.

Before You - All your dreams are front and center, waiting to be plucked and pursued into reality. Follow your gut, your heart and your dream - not your parents.

Around You - All who love you. You are surrounded by many people and energies known as frenemies. Society hates success. Pick and choose your friends, especially those whose positive energy is obvious and want only the best for you.d

Within You - Be careful what you wish for, especially "want". God blesses you with what you need; then you take the ball and run with it. You will be surprised what you can and will accomplish!

We get so caught up in daily doings that we sometimes or very often forget about our creator.
