February Monthy Minute 2024

Dear Dance Studio Families,

As we navigate the chill of February, it's clear that the lack of sunshine is taking its toll on all of us. In Toronto, where we usually bask in an average of 3.4 hours of sunshine per day, as I write this message, this January has only given us a mere 3.4 hours in total so far. It's no surprise if our energy levels are a bit lower than usual.

If you find yourself lacking the usual vigor, or if our young dancers express fatigue or reluctance to attend classes, rest assured – it's completely understandable. As we delve into our February focus on 'Compassion,' I'm extending a wave of understanding and support.

Feeling tired and yearning for warmth and comfort is a natural response during these winter months. It's a time to snuggle in, seek solace, and patiently wait for the winter blues to pass. If your energy is waning and spirits are low, remember, it's okay. This is the perfect time to start planning and dreaming about the warmth and excitement that summer brings. Have you checked out our summer programs? Ensure you get on the list before they sell out! One week is already sold out.

February offers numerous opportunities for us to embrace and exhibit compassion. Let's be mindful of each other's energy levels and extend kindness as we journey towards Spring together. Whether it's supporting a fellow dancer or finding small ways to brighten someone's day, let's make this month a celebration of warmth, understanding, and the shared love for dance.

And speaking of spreading love, as Valentine's Day approaches, let's shower our dedicated Pegasus dance teachers with appreciation! We invite you and your wonderful dancers to participate in a special Valentine’s celebration to show our teachers and staff how much they are valued.
​
Here’s how you can join in the fun:

1. Create a Valentine: Encourage your dancer to get creative! Whether it’s a heartfelt note, a colorful card, a beautiful drawing, or a crafty Valentine, anything that comes from the heart is perfect.
2. Drop it in Their Bag: Special bags for each teacher are set up in the Reception Room, clearly labeled with the teacher's name. Ready to be filled with your lovely Valentine creations, you can drop your special Valentine into their bag anytime until Monday, February 12.​

Let’s spread the love and make this Valentine’s Day extra special for our incredible Pegasus teachers. We can’t wait to see the bags overflowing with love and appreciation! I know this will brighten their day, and I hope that planning something amazing for someone else will brighten yours.
​
Wishing you all a February filled with compassion and the promise of brighter days ahead.
