One year ago today, our daughter stepped into her very first dance class! We realized early on how important community would be as an only child. What I never anticipated was that the friendships I found in the hallway would become even more meaningful than the dance lessons happening inside the classroom. The moms I’ve met have become some of my closest friends, and while the concept of a “village” may sound cliché, you realize during early motherhood how vital it is.We’ve celebrated our big milestones like pregnancies, new babies, and birthdays, alongside our daughters’ “smaller” victories, like unprompted little friend hugs, going into class solo, and learning to take turns. These women have not only shared in these joys — but also supported me during intense grief after my brother’s unexpected passing.To every mom navigating this chaotic journey, remember that your village is out there. Find it, cherish it, lean on it, and celebrate it. And it might be at Forte!Here’s to another year of friendship, growth, and, of course, dance 🫶🏻
