Well, I can hardly believe it, but here we are – just days away from our 1st Birthday at relevé dance collective! 🥳 It feels like only yesterday that we were reopening the doors of Taree Ballet Gear and relaunching as relevé.
It was 14 November 2023, and after an absolutely massive week of renovations and restocking (I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many fancy dress costumes in one place!), we officially opened our new chapter. And what a year it has been. It’s honestly hard to put into words how much joy and gratitude I feel when I think about everything we've achieved, and it’s all thanks to you – our incredible, supportive customers.
In just 12 months, we’ve been able to introduce 21 new brands to our collection, and we’ve stocked over 12,000 pieces of inventory. (Yes, that’s a lot of leotards, stockings, and ballet shoes! 🩰) Our little shop has grown into something really special, and our online community has bloomed, with nearly 6,000 visits per month. How amazing is that?
But beyond the numbers and milestones, what truly fills my heart is the daily joy of being part of the dance world. There's something magical about seeing little ones try on their first pair of ballet shoes, or witnessing that proud moment when a young dancer does their first pirouette and beams with joy, all dressed up as a ‘real ballerina’. Moments like that remind me why I love what I do so much. 💕
I want to take a moment to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported us this year. Whether you’ve shopped with us once, or you’re a repeat customer who has helped spread the word about us, you’ve made all the difference. It’s your enthusiasm, your trust in us, and your kindness that has made our first year such a success. And for that, I am beyond grateful.
As we celebrate this milestone, I can’t help but get excited for what’s coming next. There’s so much fun stuff planned for the year ahead, and I can’t wait to share it all with you – including a very special announcement coming in December. (Stay tuned… it’s going to be good!) 😏
To celebrate our First Birthday, I’d love to offer you a special treat: Enjoy 20% off storewide! 🎉 Simply use the code BDAY1 at checkout before 11:59pm on November 15. It's my little way of saying thank you for being part of our journey.
Here's to another fabulous year of dance, dreams, and pirouettes. Thank you for being part of the relevé family – I can’t wait to see what the next 12 months bring!
Much love and gratitude,
Emma x
