Happy Fathers Day

I hope you've all had a good week.

As I reported last week I've injured my feet and unfortunately they are not recovered yet which has been difficult but I have managed to work around this without cancelling too many classes. The injury has been painful and frustrating but led me to see a physio who discovered an underlying issue with my feet that has been ongoing and I now have the opportunity to rectify this.

Surprisingly I have coped well taking it easy in class not applying any high impact to my feet and allowing my students to do all of the work. I've had some assistance throughout the week and also have utilised the time I would usually spend training working on other things. Although I'd prefer to be at full fitness my injury has allowed me to reasses a few things so there has definitely been a positive outcome plus I've squeezed in a couple of upper body workouts focusing on core and arms!

This week was the last week at ASAD and we had dance assessments which went really well so thanks to all of my students for their hard work over the last term.

There are just two weeks left until our summer Extravaganza and preparation for the performance is going brilliantly. Tickets are live at www.dynamicdance.org.uk

Have great weekend everyone and wishing all of the Dad's out there a very Happy Fathers Day for Sunday.

summer time

Summer is here and we have enjoyed some beautiful weather this last week. I took the opportunity to get off the treadmill and run outside instead around Richmond park which has sadly left both of my feet with soft tissue damage.

The impact of running outside for so long when I am not used to such great distance on hard ground has been too much for my little size three feet! I have been in quite a lot of pain and accepted that I really have to take it easy this week. Fortunately lots of my students are advanced enough to take instruction from me which means I'm able to teach and take it easy on my feet. It will be a challenge as being active is so natural to me, I'm barely still for a minute but I will be disciplined and give myself the best possible chance of a quick recovery. Regarding the running I will not be deterred it will just mean a slower build to long distances and some more supportive running shoes!

Our summer extravaganza is just three weeks away now so preparation is in full swing! We have some great stalls planned for the day including Aunty M's cake, an amazing face painter, a raffle with some excellent prizes plus the bouncy castle, drinks stall and fabulous food. We then have the performance from team Dynamic which is going to be wonderful. Highlights will be a beautiful solo performance to Spectrum by Florence and the Justin Timberlake mash up which is my favourite. Tickets are live now at www.dynamicdance.org.uk £10 for adults and £5 for children include entry to the event and the performance.

Places are booking up for our Hot Right Now! summer School at Tiffin Girls in Kingston 5th-9th August! Contact me for more info and to book a place but this will be a really great week and is open to everyone aged 4-16 years £120 for the week.

I will be the red carpet host on Saturday evening for annual summer ball at Holy Cross Prep School Kingston which I'm really looking forward to. Ball gown and mic at the ready!

Enjoy your week everyone.

Back to class!

Hi everyone,

Half term is over and it's back to class from tomorrow. All of our regular classes are back this week as well as my schools, college, nurseries and parties so it's all systems go!

Yesterday I went to watch a production of Annie Jr at the Hampton hill playhouse which some of my pupils were performing in. It was great; a very professional production in a wonderful theatre with some superb talent. Miss Hanigan was a real force on stage and also my girls Phoebe and Maddie who played orphans Roxie and Kate were just wonderful, I was so proud. I can't describe how wonderful Sandy the dog was, simply adorable! It was a great opportunity for the girls and we look forward to working with Act Now Entertainment more in the future.

We will be preparing for our summer event and show 'Let the Groove Get In' which we are holding at Tiffin Girls School, Kingston on Sunday 30th June. Music editing, final choreography, solo routines and planning for the event will kick in this week. I really enjoy staging the shows and bringing together events which provides a goal for the children and another great performance opportunity which allows then to develop as performers and grow in confidence. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the fun between 1-5pm with booking info at www.dynamicdance.org.uk


Also don't forget we are now taking bookings for our Hot Right Now! Summer schools in Kingston and Sutton; a great dance experience for all children during the holiday's.

Have  a super week everyone
