X Factor

This week I celebrated my birthday. Once the initial panic of being another year older had passed I was able to enjoy time with my Mother who was visiting and will be celebrating with friends tonight at the Rock N Rose in Richmond with some fabulous food and cocktails and of course dancing the night away somewhere! I plan to make this year a great one and I will follow my dreams and ambitions to grow my business and open Dynamic studios...watch this space.

How about this heatwave?! Absolutely took us by surprise but has been really glorious so lets hope it lasts all summer long.

I took along three of my girls to watch the X factor live auditions on Wednesday at Wembley arena. We got to see some great acts and the judges; Nicole looked amazing and Gary is still and absolute dreamboat. We had fun and it was nice way to bid farewell to my girls who have been with us from the beginning and have been so much more than students to me. Laura, Georgina and Libby we will all miss you!

My summer holiday timetable started this week with work on Y-English programme at Sutton High teaching international students street and Musical Theatre which is going well. Our Hot Right Now summer Schools take place the week of 29th July in Sutton at Greenshaw High School and 5th August in Kingston at Tiffin girls school. We have an awesome week planned and it's not too late to book. Just contact me emily@dynamicdance.org.uk

I'm very excited about the new term and already taking class bookings for our branches in Sutton, Kingston and Clapham. We will also be launching in Twickenham in September and opening our Ballet School so I will keep you posted.

Enjoy the weekend everyone and stay chilled.

Hot Right Now!!!

Summer is finally here!

I'm so happy and feel already it's shaping up to be  great one. Last Sunday we enjoyed our Summer extravaganza at Tiffin girls In Kingston with a superb performance from team dynamic 'Let the Groove Get In' which was stripped back yet showcased the talent that we have at Dynamic dance and allowed the children to shine. It was a super hot day and everyone enjoyed the fun day whilst we prepared for the performance. All went very smoothly, and I was really proud of all of the children. I also had an excellent team on board helping to run things with special thanks to Aunty M's cakes, Mister Bouncy, Will Street music as well as Tiffin Girls for having us there.

I have several projects running over the Summer including the international Summer school at Sutton High where I'll be teaching dance to the spanish students and my own Hot Right Now Summer Schools in Sutton and Kingston. The one week course takes place at Greenshaw High in Sutton 29th July- 2nd August and at Tiffin girls Kingston 5th-9th August. Students will be taught street, jazz, break dance and contemporary styles over the five days from fantastic, experienced teachers with a spectacular performance at the end of the week for family and friends to enjoy.
Price is £110/ £120 per child for the week contact emily@dynamicdance.org.uk to book

Finally I'm delighted that I will be taking on a new role at St Mary's University College Twickenham as their Dance teacher from September. This is a superb college with excellent facilities and I'm really looking forward to working with the students

I am back on my running feet as I've  recovered from my recent injuries. Currently I'm sticking to the treadmill but Richmond park beckons...

Continue to enjoy your summer and don't forget to

keep your children moving through the holidays.

Love and light

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

This will be a fun but incredibly professional week of fun dance training with a performance at the end of the week for family and friends to enjoy. The summer School is 10am-4pm each day and my team and I will work with the groups teaching them jazz, street, break dance and contemporary styles working on technique and performance skills as well as general co-ordination, flexibility, social interaction, confidence and most of all making it a really fun experience. The price is £120 per child for the five day course and spaces are already booking up so contact me for more info and to book a place emily@dynamicdance.org.uk The Sutton date and venue is still to be confirmed.

I'm very much looking forward to working with the Spanish students who are taking part in the Performance Programme this summer at Sutton High where I will be working with the team to teach them some Musical Theatre numbers over three weeks and providing a performance at the end. I had better brush up on my Spanish just in case!

Enjoy your week everyone and wishing all of my girls who are performing in Annie this week at the Hampton Hill playhouse the very best of luck.
