8 years ago today, I danced on the world stage for the very last time 💫

At 27, I achieved my dream ✨ after starting my dance journey at just 9 years old ☘️💃🏼

I went in aiming for a world medal and left placing in the top 10 in the world — more than I ever imagined ✨

A reminder to every dancer: it’s never too late to achieve your dreams 🤍

Good luck to all the dancers competing in the CLRG World Championships this week! 🍀🌍

A little video of yesterday 🥰
Only a short snippet of Ivy-Rose 🩷 But always super confident and working hard on kicking her bum. ✨
But look at our youngest dancer, Elsie-Maeve! Shes a very shy girl and very conscious of everyone looking at her. I’m super proud of how she concentrated just that little bit more at this feis 👏🏻🩷
