Dixie Dance Company Set for New Owner
New owner excited for future.
On Sunday, May 19, Meghan Anderson will host her ninth and final dance recital as owner of Dixie Dance Company.
For the past nine years, she’s put her blood, sweat and tears into essentially building the business from the ground up.
Having seen countless students and families pass through the doors at Dixie Dance since 2004, it’s been a memorable ride for Anderson.
A few short months ago, she made the decision to part from the dance studio to focus more her two young girls and career as a licensed counselor.
However, it was her hope that someone from the community would ultimately step up and take over ownership of the successful business.
Fortunately for girls in and around Oxford, Dixie Dance has found a new, excited owner in Sarah Hamilton of Oxford.
While Hamilton will take over as owner in August, she’ll be around a lot this summer during classes and special camps.
Moms and dads will quickly recognize her as a fellow Dixie Dance parent herself, having sent her daughter, Taylor Grace, there for years.
Anderson is excited that her own girls will now get to continue taking dance classes in a fun, learning environment under Hamilton.
Moreover, Hamilton gets a special opportunity to own and manage the dance studio while her daughter continues as a student.
Additionally, Ole Miss fans and visitors will again get to see the Dixie Dolls & Campus Cuties on the union steps before home games this fall.
After Anderson’s recital finale this weekend, she and Hamilton will slowly begin making a transition in leadership this summer.
Both current and future owner encourage parents to sign their girls up for summer and fall classes today by calling 662-236-1032.
Last but not least, Ole Miss fans and visitors will once again get to see the Dixie Dolls & Campus Cuties on the union steps before home games this fall.
