It’s with genuine sadness that I’ve taken the difficult decision to hang up my dancing shoes as an instructor. I’ve loved every minute of it (apart from the injuries!) and I’ve made some life-long friends through doing it.
I’m not going elsewhere - I’m just going to recover from this latest injury at my own pace instead of pushing myself to get back as quickly as possible.
I want to thank each and every one of you who has ever been to any of my classes over the last 3 years - your support has meant the world to me. 💕
I’m sure I’ll see you around as I’m planning to keep swimming and doing what I can when my shoulder’s better, but I hope you all keep on dancing, and have a little boogie whenever you hear a song that we had a routine for.💃🏻🕺🏻🎶🪩
Love to you all. 🥰 xx

A quick message for those who normally set a 7am alarm to book onto my seated dance classes… my classes for the next 2 weeks are not going ahead (shoulder is no better) but they haven’t been removed from the booking system yet. x

I’m going to be out of action for a few weeks due to a suspected rotator cuff tear in my shoulder, and as you know, it’s not a class you can do without using arms - I’d just be sitting on a chair looking at you all (as lovely as you all are to look at, and as happy as I would be to sit and chat with you all for 45 minutes it’s not what we’re there for 🥰). 😆
Will keep you posted when anything changes. xx

*** CLASS CANCELLATION ***

Due to a shoulder injury, I’ve had to cancel tonight’s seated dance-fitness class. I’m so sorry to everyone who has booked on and was raring to go.
I’d hoped it would have healed with some rest over the Christmas break, but last night’s practice session said otherwise. 😩

Well that’s it for another year! Thank you to everyone who has attended my classes and supported me through a funny old ...

There’s a place available on tonight’s 5.30pm class due to a cancellation… why not come and give it a try if you’re not sure what it’s all about? 😁 I promise you, even though it’s seated, you will definitely get a good workout! 💃🏻🪑🕺🏻🪑

We still have a couple of classes left before Christmas but to anyone who has so kindly given me a Christmas card this year, thank you so much! I hope you don’t mind but in lieu of sending Christmas cards this year, my hubby and I have given donations to Macmillan and the Salvation Army instead, but I still wish each and every one of you a very happy Christmas! 🥰🎄🎅🏻☃️

*** 🎄🎅🏻 CHRISTMAS CLASS 🧑🏻‍🎄🎄 ***

My last seated dance class before the Christmas break is on Tuesday 23rd December at 5.30pm. Please come and join me for one last boogie before Christmas (and feel marginally less guilty about eating that extra mince pie 😁)!

Christmas attire welcome of course! ✨

Hope to see you there! 💃🏻🕺🏻🪑🎄
