A WHOLE LOTTA RAYE. 🔥

We’re going BIG on RAYE over the next two weekends.

If you missed Seville, want another go, or just really fancy learning this routine… there are still spaces.

SAT 10 OCT | WESTFIELD LONDON
10–11.45am

SUN 11 OCT | MARLOW
11am–1.30pm

SAT 17 OCT | WESTFIELD LONDON
10–11.45am
Yep. RAYE again.

The choreography is challenging, but the classes are for ALL abilities, including complete beginners.

We’ll slow it right down, break it apart and build it back up so everyone can have a go. You don’t need to have been to Seville and you definitely don’t need to be an experienced dancer.

You just need to come and dance. 🖤

Still plenty of spaces. Come fill the room!

50. BOOM. 💥

Apparently this is what 50 looks like!

And as NFD turns 15 at the same time, it feels pretty fitting that I’m celebrating both doing the thing that’s been a constant through pretty much everything:

DANCE

Here’s to the next decade.

NEON FUEL DANCE TURNS 15!

Next Friday, 2nd October, marks 15 years of Neon Fuel Dance.

Although many of you have actually been dancing with me for a lot longer than that. Over 25 years, which is mildly terrifying.

NFD started with Hip Trips for Healthy Hedonists. Go somewhere brilliant, eat well, have fun and probably stay up later than we should.
15 years later, the branding has changed, the hedonism may have reduced slightly, but the basic idea hasn’t really changed.
Dance. Travel. Music. Friends. Fun.

Looking back through old photos/videos has brought back SO many happy memories. It’s also made me realise how much is missing because we were doing this long before everyone had a bloody smartphone in their hand. So many classes, trips and routines with absolutely no evidence they ever happened!

I’ve put a few favourites in here, including New York and living out my Carrie Bradshaw fantasy with a private flying trapeze lesson at the same place, with the same instructor. It was a vibe.

Whether you’ve been around for 26 years, 15 years or 6 weeks, this is a massive thank you to everyone who has danced, travelled and laughed with me over the years.

And because one day clearly isn’t enough, I’ll be celebrating 15 years of Neon Fuel Dance in classes for the next two weeks and bringing back some of my favourite tracks and routines from over the years. Including revisiting the Raye routine we did in Seville 2026 in a 2.5 hour workshop on 11th May in Marlow. Some things are worth repeating.

Here’s to many more years of our Hip Trips!

Now tell me — what’s your favourite Neon Fuel Dance memory?

A little appreciation post for

Life’s been super busy lately and I’ve been struggling for inspiration. Then I saw Dylan’s choreography to Confident … Bloody loved it.

Sometimes people inspire you at exactly the right time without even knowing it.

Dylan, you make this look SO easy. It is fu***ng fast! 😂

⚠️ WARNING: Neon Fuel Dance may give you wrinkles. ⚠️

It’s Monday morning. It’s grey outside. You’re tired. You rock up to a dance class… and an hour later your face actually hurts from laughing so much and the week feels a lot more manageable.

Smiling, laughing, dancing. Terrible for the fine lines. Excellent for pretty much everything else.

Come get some wrinkles with us.

A client once said to me:-

“I can’t be sassy when I dance. I’m a mum and over 40.”

WHO DECIDED THAT?!

Being a mum doesn’t make you less sexy.
Turning 40 doesn’t make you invisible.
Getting older doesn’t mean becoming less.

You can be 40, 50, 60+ and still feel fierce, playful, powerful and wild.

Put on the music. Move your body. Get stronger. Be the talk of the town.
Remember who the f**k you are.

This is why we dance.

Who knew my dance classes would end up in an art exhibition?!

I feel so lucky that two of my favourite things, dance and art, have come together in such a gorgeous way.

For over a year, the lovely Heather McDowell has been coming to my classes, quietly sketching, taking photos and soaking up all the joy and movement. She even joined us on our Neon Fuel Dance trip to Seville, where she found even more inspiration.

Now all of that has become her incredible Drawn to Dance exhibition.

It makes me so proud that what we’ve created at Neon Fuel Dance is about so much more than learning routines. It’s about friendships, confidence, laughter, shared experiences and, clearly, inspiring creativity too. I always say dance is for everyone, and you never know where saying “yes” to a class might lead.

A huge thank you to Heather for capturing our community so beautifully. I absolutely love seeing our dancers and our energy brought to life through your art. ❤️

And to everyone who comes to class... thank you. You make this community what it is, and this exhibition belongs to all of us in a way.

If you love Heather’s work as much as I do, you can buy her prints through her website. DM Heather McDowell

Keep dancing. Keep creating. Keep saying yes to new experiences.
