ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Recital: May 17th Bartlesville Community Center
​
​
Dear Attitudes Dance Studio Family,
I come to you with a mixed heart full of emotions, bittersweet sadness, profound gratitude and a hope for the future, as I announce the upcoming closure of Attitudes Dance Studio this Spring 2025 season. After 29 incredible years, this decision weighs heavily on me, but I know it’s time to pass the torch.
This past weekend’s competition win was a perfect reminder of why this studio has meant so much to me—your talent, dedication, and spirit continue to amaze me. What a way to celebrate our legacy! I have so many wonderful memories teaching the Collinsville youth, and watching them dedicate themselves and find success. Now, as we prepare for one final bow, I hope you’ll join me in making our 29th Annual Recital on Saturday May 17, 2025 the most meaningful celebration yet. It will be my last with you all, but I want it to reflect every ounce of love this community has shared over nearly three decades.
While this chapter must close, I’m actively exploring options to sell the studio’s assets or business to ensure our dancers still have a home here in Collinsville. My dream is to see this space continue to nurture artists, as it has for generations. I’ll share updates as soon as I can.
I am not saying goodbye to dance, just to this particular stage. I will be shifting my focus to judging competitions and providing consulting services with other studios. I make this change, for important and deeply personal reasons. I want to fully support my family with my full presence. Yet, the time commitment of being a judge and a studio owner has not provided the time to be properly supportive of my family.
My heart will always be with this community and the many dancers I have had the privilege to see grow.
To every student who ever walked through our doors: You are why I poured my soul into this place.
To the parents who trusted us: Thank you for sharing your children’s light.
Let’s make these final days together unforgettable. Enrollment for our summer sessions and other upcoming activities have been put on hold, until I have concluded talks with the interested parties. I hope you’ll join us at our last recital to dance, reminisce, and celebrate all we’ve built.
With love,
Anita Bullen,
Owner and Proprietor, Attitudes Dance Studio
