While we love the freedom and playfulness of summertime, we welcome the beauty and serenity of fall.  The air becomes cooler, the days slowly become shorter, and we are yet again witness to the wonder of the changing seasons.  Here are four reasons why we're falling for fall:

The changing of the leaves:

Depending on what part of the country you live in, you'll experience this a little differently, but one thing we love most about fall is the changing of the leaves!  The leaves captivate us with their magical quality as they change from green to bright and muted hues of orange, yellow and red.  As the air becomes crisp and cold and the sticky heat of the summer subsides, the leaves begin to fall and blow in the wind with their playful dance.

Wearing new wardrobe styles:

As the weather becomes cooler, we are excited to change up our wardrobe and embrace fall fashions!  Boots, scarves, leggings and sweaters: we love it all!  At Jo + Jax, we have some awesome new styles available to incorporate into your fall looks that make you feel comfortable and ready to move whether you're in dance class or not:

Fall Flavored everything:

Bring on the pumpkin spice!  Pumpkin is hands down one of our favorite things about fall!  If you're not into pumpkin, not to worry, as apples and cinnamon, chai, and ginger are some other fall flavors and scents we can't get enough of either.  Decorating your space with some yummy fall candles and taking in a delicious warm latte and muffin are some of our favorite ways to enjoy the season. Take advantage of it while it's here, because these flavors are usually only around this special time of year.

Halloween:

As dancers, we wear costumes more often than most people, but we still love Halloween just as much!  There's something both adventurous and creative about choosing what we're going to "be" and crafting together a costume.  Plus, halloween parties and carnivals are legit some of the best events we get to attend all year! Be scary, be funny, be cute or sassy: Halloween allows us to embody our favorite characters or step outside of ourselves and take on a new identity, and as performers, we revel in that sort of thing!
