My Life Long Passion

Lets start from the beginning...

SO...Ever since I can remember I have loved dancing and sports. Dancing since I was 4 years old has helped me in so many aspects of LIFE. When you grow up in this life style YOU learn how to eat properly. How to follow rules. How to manage time. How to stay committed and reach your life long goals.

When I was 9 years old my family (army brat) was stationed to Copperas Cove, Texas. My mom found a studio called Gymkix. It was a beginner studio that had been a family run business. Stephanie was my dance coach. Her mother ran the front desk, And her sister Carrie was the Cheer coach. That was when I started my first competitive dance team. We wore blue long, bell bottom pants, with a navy blue spaghetti strap shirt. Then we had to wear our hair in a high bun on the VERY top of our heads. Wrapped around the bun was a SAUCER silver hair SCRUNCHY! YES! crazy right? lol. That was the beginning of the best times of my entire life. From there we updated costumes, increased class hours, and improved everything including the gym. Dancing was in my blood! Even to this day I still choreograph in my head to every song I hear, and I cannot go a single day without listening to music.

When I turned 14 years old my coach, Stephanie came to me at a dance competition and asked me how I would feel about becoming a Jr Coach? A Jr Coach was a beginning choreography coach that did not get paid real money, we got paid "Gymkix Bucks" lol. We could put them towards tuition, dance or company clothes, and food from the snack bar. I did not know how far it would take me or even if I wanted to continue dancing that next year. Well I continued to coach and when I was legally allowed to work I became a coach!

Becoming a COACH was one of the BEST decisions I ever made. As most people do there were times I failed, got in trouble, questioned my career, and lost all my motivation for choreography. One day I had a reality check and jumped back to what I loved! I became such a huge part of this gym. I went from a Jr Coach all the way to being able to jump into a gymnastics class, and a cheer class. I also was about to become a huge part of the After School Program we had opened. Being a part of that even expanded my horizons. I learned how to manage 30+ kids at one time, how to manage money, and organize classes. After that I went as far as becoming a Dance Manager. I choreographed and did lesson plans for all dance classes, inventory, and so much more. It only lasted a short time because I met my amazing husband and his career moved us away.

When I met my husband I thought it was not was it was going to turn out to be. He is an Infantryman in the United States Army and he was tattooed and extremely muscular. :) (my dream man) We met, moved in together, and got married within 2 MONTHS of knowing each other! 2 DAYS after getting married we found out we were expecting our beautiful baby girl, Mollee Meadow!

 

4 Years (almost 5) later and Dance still has a huge part in my heart and my body. I had a COACH reach out to me asking me about BEACHBODY! I was skeptical at first because I was not sure where this could really take me. I knew that MY LIFE LONG PASSION was helping people and helping people change their lives, better their health, and reach their goals. (exactly what I did as a dance teacher) Eventually (2 months later) I finally decided it was a good decision to write this new chapter in my life. I could not have been happier with this decision. The FRIENDSHIPS I have made in such a short time, I know, are going to be life long friends. The passion and motivation these people have PUSH me to want to reach MY goals, as well as help others!

I know that so many of YOU out there feel this same passion as I do and I would LOVE for you to join me on this journey!
