It’s usually around 9:15pm when the studios empty.
The students have gone home. The teachers have left and this is where you will often find me… sweeping the floors.

Could I hire someone to do it? Probably.
But there’s something very humbling about doing it yourself.

For me, sweeping these floors has become a little ritual. It gives me a moment to reflect on all the incredible people who have walked through these doors. The students I’ve taught. The families I’ve connected with. The laughter and memories shared.

It also gives me a chance to notice what needs fixing, repairing or maintaining and if I’m being completely honest, there’s a little bit of OCD satisfaction in knowing I’m leaving the studios clean and ready for the next day 😂

More importantly, I hope my students (and my daughters!) notice. No matter who you are, you are never too important to do the basic things.

Some of my greatest growth as a business owner has come from doing things myself.
For years, I was told to delegate. Outsource. Hire people. Pass the jobs on.

Financially, I simply couldn’t but looking back, I think that was one of the greatest gifts.

Doing everything myself meant I learnt every facet of the business. I learnt what actually goes into making everything work. 15 years later as I slowly begin to delegate and share the load, I understand what I’m asking someone else to do.

It taught me the job but it also taught me humility.
I think that lesson applies far beyond business.

I see it in dance all the time.

Students want the hardest choreography.
The biggest tricks.
The front row.
To be the best.

Sometimes in our rush to get to the top, we forget the importance of the steps underneath us.

One small step.
One foundation.
One level.
One skill.
One day at a time.

The basics aren’t beneath you. They are what build you. Please read that again students.

So please take your time.
Learn properly.
Do the jobs/ basics others might overlook.
Be willing to start at the beginning, again and again.

The goal isn’t simply to get to the top.

It’s who you become along the way.

Stay curious.
Stay grounded.
Stay humble.

Please never, ever be too good for the basics 💜

Today, a few little people reminded me exactly why I love what I do 💜

You don’t always realise the impact you’re having when you’re simply showing up and doing your ‘job’.

You teach the class. You listen to their unfiltered stories 😂 You encourage them. You have fun.

A parent asked me today, “Where do you get all the energy and patience to teach children 6 days a week?”

The truth is… I just love it.
Children have open hearts and big dreams. I love their honesty, their imagination, their joy and the way they feel EVERYTHING so deeply.

Their positive energy is contagious.

I might be the teacher in the room but I learn from them every single day.

Honestly couldn’t imagine life without teaching.

Such a privilege to be someone’s safe place, someone they look forward to seeing each week and a tiny part of the childhood they’ll one day remember 🥹💜

✨ Pinch me moment ✨

I still can’t believe this happened today.

I’ve been accepted into The Class NYC Somatic Education program on a FULL TUITION FELLOWSHIP 🥹😭

Never in a million lifetimes did I think I’d be chosen. I’m all the way over here in Melbourne and the program is in New York, which makes it so surreal.

No I’m not moving to NYC 😂 Thank goodness for Zoom 🥰
I can do all training from home or my studio.

Laura Henshaw Stephanie Miller IMOGEN SIST | BPhysio(Hons) | BREATHWORK & SOMATIC FITNESS Verity Guzman thank you for introducing me to this way of moving❤️ It has become the movement I never realised I needed in my life. I am forever grateful 🥹😘

I can’t wait to start next month, learning, growing and forever evolving so I can keep becoming a better teacher, educator, leader and human and give more of what I learn to the people around me. Bringing this next chapter into the spaces I love The Dance Centre Avondale Heights KICStudio | Movement and breathwork and my girls.

This is not another certification. It will become a life practice.

I am so deeply grateful 💜

Congratulations to both of our Performance Group teams who competed on Sunday. We are so incredibly proud of each and every one of you 💜

A special congratulations on placing in your sections! As a team of just 7 dancers, every single one of you had a big job to do. There was nowhere to hide, every dancer had to perform with confidence, commitment and heart. Holding a stage alongside groups of 20–30 dancers takes incredible courage, teamwork and trust in one another and you did exactly that. So proud 🥰

A huge thank you to your talented teacher Atlanta, your routines, music selections and choreography clearly show the love, time and dedication you pour into these teams. And as your former dance teacher, I can’t put into words how proud I am of you xx

Thank you to our incredible dance parents. It was a long day 😴 Thank you for the driving to and from Doncaster and patiently spending your Sunday afternoon and evening at Dance Competitions. On behalf of your children, we see the sacrifice and we appreciate you 😘

Our Seniors did perform in multiple sections but Teens don’t like photos 🙈😂
