✨ Though she be but little, she is fierce ✨

It’s often the most unassuming of movements that take the most control and concentration.
This little dancer has mighty strong hip flexors & hamstrings and is working so hard to keep her beautiful poised posture 🩵 we love this determination!

Let’s start off the new term with this as our homework, bonus points if you can get your family involved too! Don’t forget to tag us!

springtime walks with our very hardworking Primaries! When we perfect the little things like careful “caterpillar” feet it, makes the big things like pointe later on effortlessly wonderful.

Enjoy your Easter holidays dancers, we’ll see you back in the studio from Monday 13th April ready for show term!

In the wise words of Florence & the Machine…

✨”When I’m dancing, I’m free” ✨

If you know this little dancer, you’ll know this picture perfectly captures the burst of pure joy that she is!

when I’m dancing, I’m truly me, not mummy not a teacher, I can let movement take me a million miles away. What about you? 🩵

🎃 CRAZY CLOTHES FUNDRAISER ALL THIS WEEK 🎃

Googley eyes on socks, 5 skirts all at once, back to front pyjamas, it’s as crazy as you want to make it!
If you can spare £1 as a donation it is hugely appreciated 🩵 we’re hoping to raise money towards show costs (27th June save the date!!)

Last year we raised enough to replace all of the yoga mats, bricks and resistance bands as well as adding some fun new props to our scamps classes 🙌🏻
