I honestly don’t quite know where to start… 🧡
The messages have been flying through left, right and centre since today’s Luke Mann Dance Intensive, and reading what the dancers have gone home saying has meant more to me than I can put into words.
Thank you. Truly.
To every parent who booked your child onto the day, brought them along, trusted me with them and supported what I’m trying to build with Luke Mann Dance. I am incredibly grateful.
And to every dance school represented in the room today - your dancers are such a credit to you. The training, discipline, kindness and passion they brought into that studio was beautiful to see and you should be incredibly proud of them.
And to every single dancer who walked into that studio today… thank you for showing up and giving me everything you had. You completely astounded me.
Watching you challenge yourselves, try new things, grow in confidence, let go, perform, laugh and support one another throughout the day was honestly so beautiful to witness. Every one of you brought something completely different into that room, and that is exactly what made the day so special.
A huge thank you to Chris Travers for being there to capture the entire day for us. I cannot wait to see all of the footage and the moments you managed to catch 🎥
And a massive thank you to Natalie Smith for allowing me to use the studio and giving Luke Mann Dance a home for the day. I’m so grateful for your support.
Today was so much more than simply learning routines. It was about dancing, learning, connecting, taking risks and hopefully leaving the studio feeling even more inspired than when you walked in.
Seeing messages saying dancers came home still beaming, practising the choreography, talking about the day all the way home, discovering a new love for a style, and already asking when the next one is… that means everything 🥹🧡
To everyone who played even a small part in today - thank you
And to my dancers: you should be incredibly proud of yourselves
I really, really hope this is only the beginning, and I hope I get to see every single one of you again
