It’s been such a busy couple of months so time for a wee catch up on what we’ve been up to!

We had 3 cruise ships in the last month with the last one of the Season being last weekend.

A big Thank You to the girls for putting on lovely displays for each of them 😍 The passengers always love watching you dance and getting to chat to you! Well done 🥰 xx

Soooo excited for our Annie who is busy dancing over in Colorado 🩷

After successfully auditioning earlier this year, she was selected to be part of the dance team who will be performing at the Estes Park International Tattoo 🎉

This is the most amazing opportunity for Annie and getting to do what she loves all the way over in the States is just fantastic 🥰

She also had the right idea of heading out a week early so she could explore LA & Las Vegas en-route and has been having a ball.

But the hard work started yesterday with rehearsals and now she is so looking forward to the performances 💕

Annie we are all mega proud of you and so delighted for you 🫶 You so deserve this and we know you’re going to love every minute of it 🥰
Just gutted we can’t be there to share the experience with you!

Best of luck and can’t wait to hear all about it ###

And just like that, Ellie is off to Edinburgh for the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 🥰

She flew down earlier this afternoon and is looking forward to meeting the rest of the dance team on arrival before getting stuck right into it all this evening!

Very busy and exciting few weeks ahead for her with a lot of hard work but she is going to love every minute of it 😍 To say we are all mega excited for her is an understatement!

So so proud of you Ellie and delighted you have this opportunity. Something you’ve wanted to experience for so long 💕
