Finally getting round to doing a post from our 2 hectic weeks & weekends of dance & competitions. So proud of my little blue team💙 2 brilliant comps with amazing results. Lots of trophies & medals won, some fantastic comments & feedback about my gorgeous talented kids. I love my job so much & these kids just make me burst with pride. I love seeing them performing up on that stage, I love watching them enjoying themselves & having fun because that’s what it’s all about. Getting some of you to go on the stage a few yrs back or even a yr ago was a big fight but now I’m watching you grown in to beautiful dancers with confidence & style.

Don’t forget our amazing team of parents who send their children to class, without you lot we wouldn’t have a Dance Academy like we do. I couldn’t ask for a better bunch of kids & parents , your all so supportive of your children & DDA💙 running our own festivals now has been a real success & I couldn’t do it without you all. You all know how much I think of you, your time, effort & love goes a long way.

Well done to my fabulous comp team I’m so proud of you all once again. Keep the good work up, keep smashing those goals & targets because your all doing a wonderful job💙💙

Finally getting round to doing a post from the weekend. Big well done to our DDA girls who performed over the last 2 days you were absolutely amazing. I can’t tell you how proud I am of you all i loved watching everyone of you. Seen some big improvements over the weekend lots in technique, style & personalities shining through which was so nice to see. Lots of new work run out, last minute changes in troupes which didn’t phase you at all. You came out like true professionals & put 100% in to everything. We had amazing results 1st, 2nd’s & 3rd’s along with lovely feedback & comments from the adjudicator. So proud of our team I love you all to pieces, you make me love my job so much. Thank you to our great team of parents we have without you it wouldn’t be possible to have a school like we do.
