2018!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have enjoyed the holiday season. 

As the new year approaches It's a good time to reflect on the year, what you've achieved and what you've learnt. Here are some of the things I've learnt in 2017....

 No matter what goes wrong you have to suck it up and keep going! Swallow your pride and make those tough calls when necessary. Pick yourself up, dust yourself down and keep going. 

Self belief is everything! Although in business it matters what your audience think what really matters is how you value and see yourself. 

Parenting and running a business is TOUGH. At times I feel like I'm failing miserably at both but I know I can't be a stay at home mum, that's my truth. I keep trying every day to do the best I can at both things. 

Be careful who you trust. Sadly people will let you down. Learn and choose carefully who your really put your trust in. And keep those you know who really care and love you close. 

Life is too short to be unhappy. Draining relationships/friendships - just let them go. 

Keep doing what you love! Never a year goes by when I doubt what my passion is, and I'm thankful for that. 

So there are some of my lessons from 2017!

I've had full year of work, dancing, shows, and watching my baby grow into a little boy. 

We've worked with some amazing Schools both primary and secondary and had a wonderful summer show as part of IYAF as well as going to Britain's Got talent in November.

I'm looking forward to 2018 as we celebrate our Ten year anniversary. The year will get off to a super busy start as We begin production work and open more new classes. I will also be working with Lady Margaret School in Fulham on their February dance event so it's going to be a busy few months! 

I want to sign off by saying thank you to all of those who have supported us this last year including our pupils and their families. Thanks to David Lloyd Kingston, Nuffield Health Cheam and the Kingston Academy School. 

Wishing you and your families a very Happy New Year!

Se you on the other side,

Emily X

1st December

Happy Advent everyone!

As I write this I'm thinking about the list of things to do before I can to bed;

Pack gym bag so can try and get there for 7am so actually manage a workout this week. 

Organise Uniforms/Booking forms/Choreo and vocal arrangements for the morning classes

Cash and suitable Tombola prize for my sons Christmas fair which starts tomorrow at midday.

This is familiar to so many Mums and Dads right now who have kids and a job but it doesn't make the struggle any easier! I want to curl up with a glass (or bottle) of mulled wine and browse Net-a-Porter and Sweaty Betty for all of the things I can't afford. Maybe on the 25th December. 

(Who am I Kidding?)

Meanwhile there have been some exciting things happening for us at Dynamic Dance Studios which have included a Children in Need fundraiser and a trip to Britain's Got Talent last weekend! 

We decided very last minute to attend the London auditions and my little girls (I say little and they actually are, 6-8 years and tiny things!) did a superb job and had an absolutely amazing day! We got through two rounds of auditions, did lots of filming and met some awesome and interesting people. I hope we won't be hanging up our gold shorts yet and we will go back in February'18 for the next stage! Please keep everything crossed for us, the kids deserve it and would certainly make for good TV.  They are entertaining, fierce and their energy is insane! 

Thanks to the parents and kids at our Cheam classes who made and bought cakes last week all for Children in Need! Big well done. 

Speaking of cakes the last few months my own fitness routine has been pretty poor compared to usual. Bugs, the cold weather and fatigue have gotten me but I am trying hard to keep exercising and want to say a special thanks the Sweat Society in Surbiton for my one month pass! They not only offer Bikram and hot yoga but also awesome HIT classes. Check them out www.thesweatsociety.co.uk

I also want to thank Nuffield Health Cheam and David Lloyd Kingston for the extra studios time in prep for the BGT auditions and of course for being our homes throughout the year. Definitely check out their membership packages if you live local and of course book a trial for one of our classes for your budding star!

Our Spring 2018 timetable is now live at www.dynamicdancestudios.co.uk/timetable

We are looking forward to an exciting year celebrating Ten years of Dynamic Dance! I'm looking forward to marking this milestone and looking back at all we've achieved. 

Wishing you all a great December! Stay warm and enjoy the festivities,

Emily X
