Miss Claire, Abi, Lexie & Fay were back in the studio last night with the Dance Factory Comp team. Our dancers train weekly on their solo/duet/trios. Each week they are seen by a different teachers and in different studio spaces. It was lovely to see our dancers back at team practice. The juniors started a new troupe, inters & seniors worked on re spacing our song & dance troupe/Acro/Ballet troupes. We also had a check in with all dancers before starting our lists for new dances. Here’s a snippet from studio 3, Inter dancers demonstrating Tap, Ballet & Character solos x

I’m Fay, Principal of The Dance Factory.

We hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer break. We enjoyed a lovely family holiday, grateful for time together. We’re so excited to be back at the studio from Saturday, 8th August.

We can’t wait to welcome our newest dancers and all of our returning Dance Factory families for another fantastic academic year.

The team and I are looking forward to seeing you all back in class from Saturday and getting the new term underway.

If you have any questions about the upcoming term, I’m now back in the office and look forward to hearing from you.

Until then, enjoy the sunshine, everybody, and we’ll see you very soon!

What do you want to be when your grow up? A dance Teacher ♥️
Just wanted to give a big shoutout to my acro assistants. Classes just would not be possible without them.

They have to work really hard and put up with me giving them clear and sometimes quite firm instruction on how to handle dancers safely and correctly in basic tricks. They also have to know how to give the dancers the corrections that I am constantly drilling into them to say. You can see here assistants telling dancers to start in the correct position, keep their arms strong and in the correct place, recover with their arms in the right place, keep their heels down, stretch their legs. All whilst being ready if something should not go to plan.

They really do an amazing job and take their roles very seriously 😍 Miss Abi x
