Our Greatest Loss Brings Us Together....

This September we lost our owner/director, teacher, second mom and friend Cathy to breast cancer. We miss her kooky personality, caring heart and contagious laugh. Our studio will never be the same without her.
We spent much of September working on various fundraisers to raise money for Cathy's family including an event at Rio Tinto Stadium...
and a car wash which turned into an incredible success, thanks to everyone's generosity.
We said goodbye to her at the Salt Lake Cemetery with hundreds of balloons to send her way...
Cathy and Diane were not only co-owners and directors but the best of friend, in good times and hard times...
We miss our sweet Cathy, her crazy/silly dance moves and all...
Cathy will be missed everyday we step foot in our studio. Thank you to everyone who donated to one of Cathy's Causes for your generosity and love. As we (our Dance Biz Family) went through this difficult loss in our family, we learned to stick together closer than we ever have before. We learned our studio is more than a group of people who get together to dance, but a support network that we can't find anywhere else.

We love you Miss Cathy!

I MUST SAY THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE DAY I DO NOT MISS AND THINK ABOUT HER!! I HATE PICKING UP THE PHONE TO CALL HER AND REMEMBER THAT CAN'T HAPPEN. WE TALKED EVERYDAY!!!
I AM SO THANKFUL I WAS ABLE TO KNOW HER AND LEARN FROM HER. SOME OF THE PERSONAL TRIALS SHE GOT ME THROUGH WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. I WILL CARRY HER WORDS OF SPIRITUAL KNOWLEGE WITH ME FOREVER!
THANK YOU FOR BEING MY BEST FRIEND!
LOVE YOU,
MISS DIANE

She was obviously such an inspiration!! It's evident, throughout all of "The Dance Biz" Family, on how much love & compassion she shared! And her love for dance will carry on through these girls. I'm lucky for my daughter to have been one of the many, who she has touched over the years (even if, for Kaley, it was brief :}).
We love our Dance Biz Family!!
