📣🙌🏼❤️🫶EMMA’S BACK THIS SATURDAY!

It’s so very exciting to have Emma back in the studio this Saturday after recovering kidney transplant. She might only have one kidney but it’s a good’un and she’s raring to go!

And she’s got two brilliant classes lined up…

đź©° 1pm | Ballet Contemporary
A brand-new routine to a very cinematic track from Cruella.

🎭 2pm | Theatre Jazz
Get ready to let your freak flag fly! 🚩 Emma’s Theatre Jazz class is taking on the iconic Freak Flag from Shrek the Musical.

Two very different routines and a very happy teacher to be back! 💜🧡💚

Good morning!

It's Wednesday 9th September and it's a beautiful sunny day today. It's exciting though, as the autumn wardrobe is making an appearance and I am all in favour of that. It's not quite an Aran polo yet, but we're getting close.

There are seven fantastic classes today and I am going over to Arts Centre Guildford this morning to see the Ballroom Queen, aka my sister, Katie Brewer and to see a lovely lady Eszter, who very kindly covered Katie's Merrow classes for a few months earlier this year. She can't escape us that easily. Once you're in, you're in.

Here is what's happening today and where; (Please note the new timings of Choir and Heels tonight at Italia Conti - 7pm for Choir and 7.45pm for Heels.)

Pilates with Hayley
PRE-RECORD ONLY – please ask if you would like the link and I will send it to you. £4 for the week.

LESTA - KNAPHILL

Now there is plenty that I can't do in life and one of those things is Sudoku. Even the stupid ones for very young children. Well, we can't be good at everything can we. Hats off to you if you can do these, it's International Sudoku Day today.

And tonight, to share the food fair, it's curry night in the house. I am going to do a Veggie Curry but with lamb.

Have a lovely Wednesday!

đź©° Fancy giving Ballet a go?

Our Ballet Basics Workshop on Sunday 20 September is a great place to start if you’re completely new to ballet, or want to get to grips with the foundations.

In just two hours, you’ll learn the basic positions, steps and terminology, and you’ll also take a ballet glossary home with you to refer back to as you continue your ballet journey. 🩰

From there, you can move on to our Beyond Balley Basics workshop or join one of our regular ballet classes.

Good morning everyone.

It's Tuesday 8th September and it's raining. Remember what that used to look like? Well if you've forgotten, you'll be reminded today.

We came back yesterday with a bang and today is no exception too. Vicky is back at Renton this morning and then tonight, Musical Theatre is now at Heather Farm and at the new time of 5.45pm. Ooh, to have your tea before or after that? After.

And then Fran is back tonight with everything theatre - Jazz and Tap and it's bound to be fun, lively and theatrical, just like Fran. Her classes start 15 minutes earlier now, see below!

Here is what's happening today and where;

RENTON – FARNBOROUGH

9.30am ADULT JAZZ with Vicky

10.30am ADULT TAP with Vicky

LESTA – KNAPHILL

10.30am PILATES with Hayley

HEATHER FARM

5.45pm MUSICAL THEATRE with Vicky

ITALIA CONTI – CENTRAL WOKING

7pm THEATRE JAZZ with Fran

8pm THEATRE TAP with Fran

And to round off, it's raining until 2pm, it's National Ampersand Day & (!) Star Trek Day, sorry Trekkies, I don't get it. And on George's request, it's Pasta Meatballs tonight with garlic bread and a nice green salad. Recipes found on the FDS website. Joking. Or am I....

We do need to finish this post with a nod to Richard Alston, who sadly passed away yesterday. He was a massive inspiration, an amazing choreographer and the way he used his beautiful technique in his contemporary pieces was outstanding. I remember the first time I saw his company dance and it blew me away. It was a sad day for the dance world yesterday.

If you haven't seen any of his pieces, grab a cuppa and have a look online today, start with Soda Lake. Gorgeous.

Have a lovely Tuesday everyone.

đź‘ž Always wanted to try Tap?

Our next 6-week Tap Basics course starts on Thursday 17 September, and it’s designed especially for absolute beginners!

Over six weeks, you’ll learn the basic steps and terminology, build your confidence and discover just how much fun making a noise with your feet can be!

No previous tap experience is needed, so if you’ve always fancied giving it a go, this is the perfect place to start. We can even lend you some tap shoes!

đź’ś 5 REASONS TO DANCE | REASON 5

BE PART OF SOMETHING 🫶

There’s something pretty special about being part of a group of people who share something you love.

You learn together. You laugh together. You support each other. You celebrate each other.

And sometimes, you make memories that have nothing to do with the dancing itself.

These photos are some of those moments. Different shows, different people, different costumes… but the same smiles, the same laughter and the same sense of being in it together.

And it isn’t just the dancers. It takes teachers, choreographers, backstage crew and so many people behind the scenes to make these moments happen.

That’s what First Dance Studios is all about.💜🧡💚

And today, our regular classes are back! 🎉

So if you’ve been thinking about joining us, come and be part of it.

We’d love to welcome you. 🤗

đź’ś 5 REASONS TO DANCE | REASON 4

🔥 CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Maybe you’ll surprise yourself.

You might walk into your first class thinking “I’ll never be able to do that.”

Then you learn the steps. You practise. You keep going. And suddenly you’re doing something you never thought you could.

For some people, that might mean trying a completely new style. For others, it might be learning a challenging routine, joining a workshop or even stepping onto the stage for the first time 🤩.

You don’t have to push yourself to perform. But if you want to see what you’re capable of, we’ll give you plenty of opportunities to find out.

Our regular classes return Monday 7 September.

đź’ś 5 REASONS TO DANCE | REASON 3

✨ FEEL GOOD

You know that feeling when you leave a class with a big smile on your face?

That’s reason enough to dance. 🥰

For an hour, you can switch off from everything else, put on some music, move your body and simply enjoy yourself.

You don’t have to be the best dancer in the room. You don’t have to get every step right.

Just come along, have a dance or get moving in one of our fitness classes, and see how you feel afterwards. 💜🧡💚

Our regular classes return Monday 7 September.

đź’š THE PEOPLE

You might come for the dancing…

…but it’s the people that make you keep coming back. 🥰

At First Dance Studios, you’re never just turning up for a class. You’re dancing alongside people who are there for the same reason you are: to learn, enjoy themselves, have a bit of fun and spend time doing something they love.

You’ll meet new people, see familiar faces and, before long, those people you first met in class can become firm friends.

It really is dancing together, but so much more than dancing. 💜🧡💚

Good morning.

It's Thursday 3rd September and most of the schools are back today I think? September, let's go.

Katie now can't keep away and she's back this morning at LESTA, just for the one hour and hopefully fuelled with tea and biscuits.

Karen returns tonight with a "Back To Tap" 90 minute class, genius idea from the Tap Queen herself, but it's the perfect way to get back tapping if you've had a little break for a while. It's like riding a bike, just a little noisier. Dust off your taps and get to LESTA for 7.30pm tonight and you'll be ready to go next week!

Here's what's happening and where;

LESTA
10.30 Couples Ballroom and Latin with Katie

7.30pm - 9pm Back To Tap with Karen

And to round off, it's 4 degrees warmer than yesterday but there will be a couple of showers so put a brolly in your bag. If you haven't got a FDS one, I'll get more ordered! And even though it's National Welsh Rarebit Day today, I'm doing a Sausage Tray Bake tonight. For full disclosure, it's with potatoes, peppers and onions and a top tip from Dame Mary Berry, roast for 20 mins, take it out and put some white wine in and roast for the last 10 mins. It reduces and makes it sticky and sweet. You're welcome.

Have a lovely Thursday and happy tapping tonight!
