Summer!

I haven't blogged in forever! I have a fairly good excuse as our beautiful son Christian Samuel  arrived on 22nd May at Chelsea and Westminster hospital. The last nine weeks have been a whirlwind but I can honestly say I love being a mummy and we are enjoying this new chapter of our lives as a little family.

Being pregnant for nine months is a long time and the recovery from birth takes a little while. I'm already feeling back to myself and looking forward to getting back to work! I'm in a very lucky situation where I can choose how much work I will do whilst Christian is so young. I will be running our summer school next week (3rd August) from Kingston college and I can't wait. We have a great week planned with a different theme each day- Street dance, musical theatre, break dance/hip/hop, ballet and contemporary! Places are filling up fast with fees from just £15 per day. To book contact me emily@dynamcidance@hotmail.co.uk

September is just a round the corner and all of our classes will resume as well as our School and nursery sessions. I will be back teaching some classes and will be working towards our next big show as well as another exciting new project...!

Christian is doing great, he already has such a little personality and is becoming more
independent each day. He has already had a few trips to the studio and loved the music and watching the children dance; I can't wait to see if he is going to be a little dancer when he is bigger!

Wishing you all a Fabulous summer,

Summer Time!

Hi everyone,

Summer is just about here; we've had glimpse a warm weather and I know we are all looking forward to longer days and all of the fun things we can do over summer!

Get active!
Summer is the time when everyone wants to look great and feel great. There has been lots of controversy surrounding the recent Protein World 'Are you bikini ready?' campaign. Many woman  feel under pressure to look perfect due to the media and sites such as the Daily mail constantly praising images of celebrities and their bikini bodies and post baby bodies. I think it's about being healthy and doing what works for you. Everyone can't possibly look the same! We have to love the body we have, look after it but enjoy life.
Start your young people being fit and active by trying out one of our dance classes! Contact me for  a FREE trial in Clapham, Kingston or Cheam.

Summer School!
We are holding our annual summer School in Kingston this year at Kingston College for one week in August. Our week long course is a great way to keep the children entertained and active during the holiday's. The course will run form Monday 3rd -Friday 7th August and the week will include learning street, jazz, musical theatre and hip hop styles with great guest teachers and a fantastic show at the end of the week! Day rates are available and mornings only for the minis. Contact me to book a place emily@dynamicdance.org.uk

Baby watch!
We are now on baby watch with my due date not far away. We have everything ready for our little one arriving and I feel just about prepared for labour! I will post some pictures on the blog once he has arrived. I can't wait for him to be here safely but like most mums to be I'm nervous for the birth...wish me luck!

Have a great week

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!

I hope you're all enjoying the long weekend and are planning to eat lots of chocolate.

The last few weeks have been super busy with the end of term, arranging the cover team for next term and getting ready for our new arrival! I don't have much longer to go in my pregnancy and although this is undoubtedly the hardest part I'm so excited for our baby boy to get here.

I'm delighted to welcome Kimberly, Natasha and Ughetta to Dynamic Dance. The girls will be teaching classes from the beginning of the new term as well as school and nurseries sessions and providing Dynamic parties. I've been lucky enough to find a team of experienced and skilled teachers who have the energy and enthusiasm I see as essential in providing the best dance education across London. I can't wait to see what the girls do this term and how our pupils progress.

This Easter we will be holding more Frozen song and dance camps at Eddie Catz Putney and Wimbledon. Frozen is still a huge phenomena and these camps are very popular so book soon for the last few spaces at www.eddiecatz.com 

We will be holding our annual Dynamic Dance summer school this August in Kingston with dates to be confirmed. You can register your interest now emily@dynamicdance.org.uk
The one week summer recourse will allow your child to have a great dance experience, keep active and be part of a fantastic show at the end of the week. I hope to be back up and running by then and teaching some of the week!

I can't wait to move into this exciting time with my family and finally have out little one here. I'll also be trying to get fit again as soon as possible. Anyone who is usually fit will relate to how difficult it is being restricted in pregnancy and I believe becoming fit again as soon a possible will no doubt bring me more energy and help me be a better mum. Watch this space as I share the first pics of my little one and my challenge of shedding the baby weight and getting back in shape!

In the meantime I'm off to munch on some chocolate eggs with my feet up :-)

Have a wonderful Easter Sunday

Over The Rainbow

Hi everyone,

I've not posted a blog in a while! I've been super busy growing my baby bump and creating our next show 'Over The Rainbow' which takes place next Saturday!

A baby boy!
The bump is getting big and so far so good. I can't say pregnancy is easy but I have been lucky and haven't had any problems so far. I've kept as active as possible in my classes right through but now I've given in and taken it down a notch. My students have been a great help demonstrating the floor moves etc and helping me out bless them. My body has changed very much which I feel I've dealt with well, much better than I expected. My expanding tummy and growing curves are perfect to carry my little one into the world. I can now feel him moving and it's strangely normal! Not too long to go, and at the end of March I'll put my feet up handing my classes over to a team of superb teachers.

Showtime
Our show 'Over The Rainbow' will take place next Saturday the 14th February at the Secombe Theatre in Sutton. We are very well prepared and I can't wait; it is going to be amazing! The show is based on the colour spectrum and we dance through the colours presenting a vibrant show with a variety of dance styles. Our dancers have as always been amazing in working hard and bringing the show together. It will be great way to spend Valentines day; You can book tickets at www.suttonthetares.co.uk

We are super busy this term elsewhere with nursery sessions, dance in Schools and dance parties. Frozen mania continues for little girls everywhere so we will be holding Frozen workshops at Eddie Catz Putney and Wimbledon during half term. Places are filling up fast so book yours soon at www.eddiectaz.com

Wishing you all a very Happy Valentines day; ignore the cynics and do something nice for who you love

Love and light

Happy Christmas

Hi everyone,

With only a few days until Christmas I hope you are all prepared and ready for a relaxing time with your loved ones.

After a hectic few months of work and a big move as well as dealing with the changes of pregnancy I'm delighted to finally be able to put my feet up! The bump is growing and we are gradually getting ready for the arrival of our first little one next year. I've take up pregnancy yoga which is calming and helps you to connect with your baby as well as learning some great breathing techniques and positions to help during labour. I go to Yoga Mama in Putney www.yogamama.co.uk

All of our classes are on hold until the 5th of January when we will begin the Spring term as well as continuing preparation for our February show 'Over the Rainbow' which is being held at the Secombe Theatre Sutton. The theme of the show is colours and I can't wait for it all to come together. The preparation and performance is always a great experience for all of the children involved. It's an amazing way to build confidence as well as giving the very young children their first taste of performance.

Next year we'll continue to provide Education programmes to nurseries and schools and I'm very much looking forward to us working with Rutherford house school where we will provide all of there in curriculum and after school dance. I'm building a new team of teachers who will be covering more classes for us us this year particularly whilst I'm on maternity leave. For more info on all of our dance education programmes contact emily@dynamicdance.org.uk

It's been another great year for me and I feel grateful for all of the opportunities within my business and continue to enjoy my work. My biggest blessing is of course my pregnancy and I feel grateful every day. We are praying for healthy baby in 2015.

Have a great time over the holidays everyone; eat drink and be merry!

Happy Christmas
