On Wednesday I had the pleasure of being invited back as a guest teacher for Stagecoach Colchester summer bootcamp at Mercury Theatre Colchester .
I absolutely love seeing the progression from the students each year and equally meeting the newbies.
Without fail its always such a lovely group!
Thanks again Caroline and Sarah for having me π

WOWEEIIIII this team of talented humans absolutely smashed our annual show, 'The Journey' celebrating 20years of SOS yesterday and not one but two back to back shows! Its safe to say we were melting at the end but it was worth every minute! The support, joy, improvement, encouragement was felt around the room and I have had endless feedback of pure praise for what an amazing job you all did! So so proud of each and every single one of you!
SHOUT OUT : Katrina Rose for joining me on the dance floor and her naration skills. Corinna Bourke ,mother and father and for costumes,tech and setup, I'm truly grateful for you all at each and every show. Michelle Denny-West for the amazing hampers! Zoe Usedon for costumes and my PA. Luke Tatchell for joining team PA too.
And finally a big shout out to all the parents π
I hope you enjoyed it as much as we all did! Roll on the next one πͺ

**PROUD**A few weeks back I received a thank you message for the lessons/technique I had taught many years ago. The extra knowledge in various styles helped a particular individual stand out at an audition leading him onto his new career path! (Its nice not to be forgotten knowing your teaching helped guide a path for someone. That's what we do it for right!)
Let me introduce you to this bundle of talent aka who started dancing with S.O.S Dance from around 11yrs of age! It fills me with pride to announce that in 2weeks time he will be joining the cast of Mamma Mia on the Allure Of The Seas with Royal Caribbean Entertainment for the next 11months!!! You are going to absolutely smash it! So so proud of you! I can't wait to hear all about it! Enjoy every moment! β€οΈ

Join us as we dance our way through the story telling journey that led us to S.O.S Dance as we know and love it today along with a 2nd Β½ of highlights and most loved pieces selected by the students themselves as a reflection of recently celebrating 20years as a dance school. Its gonna be special!

Today one of my adult students showed me a tattoo she just got and .....I cried. (I never thought I could cry over a tattoo but I did!)
I know how much SOS has helped this individual and the fact that something I have created means so much to that person to have it tattooed was just so insanely touching.
I love the moomins ,im also known as moomin momma to most and the balloon is a symbol of love from a previous show we had done and in the core of that heart is SOS Dance.....I feel so touched!
P.S Disclaimer, I'm not encouraging my students in anyway to get tattooed lol
Huge enormous love β€οΈ
