So sad to hear the news about Dolly Parton 😭💔 What a gift to the world 💝
From humble beginnings to becoming a true icon, Dolly has shown that you can reach extraordinary heights without ever losing your humility, kindness or heart.
A hugely talented woman, a generous soul and a genuinely humble human who has used her success to give so much back to others. Her music has brought joy to generations and there’s something pretty special about celebrating a woman who has remained so grounded while becoming such a legend 🙌❤️🙌
So, we’ve been dancing to a Cumbia remix of “Jolene” in our Zumba classes for some time and I had actually planned to take it out of the playlist 🎤But hearing this news has made me rethink that. It’s going to stay in just for tonight’s class!
There’s a special reason Jolene was in the playlist in the first place. It was the favourite song of a close colleague of mine who sadly passed away recently, so the song already carries a little extra meaning for me 💔❤️
Now it feels even more fitting to keep dancing to it celebrating Dolly, her incredible music and keeping a little memory of someone special alive along the way.
Thank you, Dolly, for the music, the laughter, the inspiration and for reminding us that where you come from doesn’t have to define how far you can go 💕✨
RIP gorgeous Dolly 🕊️
Join us tonight for class 7pm at Marshland School 💃
