In Loving Memory ~

It is with great sadness we share the news that Anna Iatridis, our amazing, beautiful, beloved LDY teacher and friend, passed away on Wed. 1/29/20, after a long battle with cancer.

She began teaching at the studio in the summer of 2008. In the past 11 years, that went by way too fast, she made LDY a better place. In every class – whether it be ZUMBA, Core Conditioning, BarreBlend or her signature CoreBlend she showed up 100%.

She was a force of nature, positive, brilliant and funny, motivating and empowering.  Her love of life, vivacious spirit, her smile, laugh, her dedication to her teaching, her care for every student, her radiance, her warmth, her generous heart, her impact, will live on within our community’s soul.

She loved Laughing Dog and wanted everyone to know that your texts, messages, cards, love and prayers were read, received and gave her continued strength in the most challenging times.

Our hearts and prayers are with her family. May they find comfort knowing how many lives she touched and inspired.

We Love you Anna, We miss you, May your be at peace.
