✨ Throwback Thursday ✨
Did you know Aspire turned 5 on 21st September? 🎉
We were so busy with competition rehearsals that we completely forgot to stop and celebrate it properly, so here’s a little throwback to some photos from our very first week at Aspire 🥹
When Aspire opened, we had just 4 classes a week, younger ballet, older ballet, younger jazz and older jazz, and I genuinely had no idea where the journey would take us 💖
Over the last five years, I’ve followed the lead of the children. As they’ve grown, developed and wanted to do more, I’ve tried to give them as many opportunities as possible and make sure they receive the best training Aspire can provide. The children are, and always have been, the inspiration behind Aspire 💛
From those 4 weekly classes, we’ve now grown to 13 classes a week and around 60 private lessons, and along the way our dancers have become All England Dance Regional Finalists and Team Wales Dance World Cup Finalists 🏴
We’re also Acrobatic Arts certified, proud members of the ABD, and have maintained a 100% examination pass rate 🏆
But beyond all of those achievements, the most special part has been watching the children grow. Not just as dancers, but in confidence, friendships and belief in themselves 🌟
On the topic of growing up … do you recognise these three little superstars from our very first week, who are still dancing with us today? 👀
Five years of believing, aspiring and achieving… and the children are still the sole reason for it all ✨
