25.01.2022 A fabulous group!
25.01.2022 I’m offering the same!! Please contact me to arrange online lessons!!!!
25.01.2022 Is it okay to cry? I have run a dance school for just over fifteen years, and would like to share an observation I have made with parents. I have seen many youn...g children grow into talented dancers and performers over the years, I have also seen children grow into fine, respectable adults. I am very proud to have played a part in shaping the people those now grown adults have become. Lately I've been concerned about the amount of children crying over very minor things but what concerns me most is the way too many parents are reacting to the tears! If a young dancer is removed from a small section of a routine or moved from what they may see as a 'prime' position, this is not a reason to cry. Furthermore when your child comes to you in the waiting area of the dance studio or when they arrive home and complain to you, why is the reaction not to say to your child "your teacher knows best, trust that they are doing what is best for you and your class"? Too often parents reaction is to contact me, the Principal. In all my years no student has ever been told they were no longer allowed in the concert, yet most of the time the conversation will go like this: "little Mavis came home very upset as her teacher told her she is not in the concert" or "her teacher told her if she doesn't know the routine by next week she is not in the concert", to which my response is most likely to be "no the teacher said this..." Believe me when I tell you no teacher wants to remove a student from the concert, and it is yet to happen in 15 years. If this were ever the case, trust that you won't be hearing it from your child. I would contact you myself. Your child's teacher wants your dancer to be the best they can be. It would be very wrong if a teacher left a student in choreography they were struggling to achieve no matter what the reason may be. They may have fallen behind due to absences, due to not enough outside of class practice, or purely due to their level of ability. If you are letting your team mates down and not putting the required effort in at soccer training, you will be benched for the match. Dance is no different in the sense that it is a team activity, others are relying on you. Please parents let's not create a generation of girls that have the belief that if they cry Mummy will fix it. Let's create a generation of girls with fire in their belly! If they are not chosen for a role please teach them to try more, work harder, hang on their teachers every word and do what it takes to get the part the following year. Let's teach our girls crying is perfectly fine if you they are injured, if they are sad, if they are happy, or if they are proud of someone they love. Crying is not okay when they don't get their own way, or because they are jealous of their team mate, because they don't like their position in the dance or how much of a dance they are in. Let's teach our girls to have strength, to be confident enough to ask questions, to be proud of our friends who are doing well, to be artistic, to express themselves through dance and to know that they always tried their best, to help a friend in need, to share ideas without being rude, to apologise when an apology is due, to live happy healthy lives, to be on time and to be able to be relied upon. My mother always taught me to speak up, but be polite. To put 100% into everything I did. I have told many of my girls over the years that I was a super sensitive girl and probably deep down I still am but my mother taught me that crying didn't get me what I wanted. Hard work did.

12.01.2022 In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarc...e heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
