🧱 🧠 CREATIVE BLOCK 🧠 🧱

People have asked me over the years, “Do you ever just run out of ideas?”
The answer is… YES! 🙋‍♀️

I’ve had many a panic-choreography moment, and sometimes, some of my best ideas have come to me on the drive to the hall! 💡

I think my biggest struggle is going over and over something, trying to make it better or perfect. But the truth is, neither of those things really exists in dance.

There are endless possibilities with every piece of music you choose. It’s not about finding the one perfect way to do something, it’s about finding what feels right for you, in that moment and what suits the people you are choreographing for.

So, when I’m having a little wobble and the creative juices just aren’t flowing, I try different things to get myself back on track!

What does everyone else do when they hit a creative block?

Do you step away, go for a drive, or just wing it and hope for the best? 😂

💚We’re not here forever… so dance accordingly. 💚

Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Put on the music, let go of the worries, embrace your body and give yourself permission to just DANCE.

You’re never too old to dance, too late to start, or too busy to make time for YOU.

Come as you are, leave with a little more confidence, a lot more energy!

🌻 Tap Step Tuuuuuesday 🌻

It’s been a while, but this week I’m bringing you The Susie Q — another absolute classic!

This legendary step originated in Black American jazz and tap culture during the 1930s and is now recognised across multiple dance styles, including Tap, Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz, and Salsa.

It’s often preceded by a ‘hop shuffle’ before the first accented stamp.

Travelling to the right:
Hop R, Shuffle L (8&a)
👣 Stamp L across R - turned in (1)
👣 Tap-step R, keeping the left heel down and turning the L foot out (&2)
👣 Pick up L (&)
👣 Stamp L across R - turned in (3)
Repeat: tap-step, pick up, stamp, tap-step, pick up, stamp (&4&5&6&7)

I love adding cutesy arms to this one — hands clasped, palms down, maybe a little shoulder action... fill your boots!

✨ Life skills dance has given me – Part One: Quick Changes! ✨

And believe me, there have been a lot of them!

From being a little nipper with three groups in the same section, to performing in a show and squeezing in three costume changes during the overture, I’ve become pretty skilled at moving fast.

It’s a skill that has served me well far beyond the stage. Just the other week, after teaching at Arts in the Park, I had precisely 45 minutes to get home, get changed, and make it to afternoon tea. I will also be transitioning from ballet class this morning to get to a 40th birthday in London by 12.30pm. Wish me luck!

Years of quick changes, organisation, and a ‘little’ help from my mum 🤗 definitely prepared me for moments like these.

🎶If we’re not meant to dance, why all the music? 🎶

I honestly don’t know anyone who can hear a good piece of music and not feel the urge to move in some way. A little foot tap, a head bob, a gentle sway, or throwing yourself into a full out dance routine 🕺💃✨

Music is such a gift. We’re so lucky to be surrounded by so many different styles, sounds, tempos and rhythms, each bringing its own magic and making us feel something.

Music has a beautiful way of connecting us to ourselves and to each other. 💖

So next time you hear a tune that makes your body want to move, don’t fight it! Turn it up, let go and feel the beat.

Sometimes, happiness is simply a good tune and a body that just can’t keep still! 🎶🕺🏻💃🏼

💕 Somebody to Love 💕

This half term’s glissé offering in ballet! Who doesn’t love Queen? And who doesn’t love that unmistakable feeling of their legs being on fire? Did I mention they repeat this 4 times through? 😬🤗

I loved adding in the piqué to really test the brain as well as the legs — along with that lovely long spine, balance, coordination, and everything else ballet likes to challenge all at once!

I love that this class has a mix of experience. Some dancers have been doing ballet since they were tiny, while one lovely lady has had just two classes!

Wherever you are on your ballet journey, there’s a place for you at the barre.

See you tonight! 🩰

💃 Switch it up!🕺🏻

Fancy switching up your week? Come and join us for some dancing! ✨

Last week, we had a right laugh learning switch turns in our Musical Theatre class. And, of course, I couldn’t resist putting on a bit of Black Velvet for a good tempo and a bit of sass 🎶🖤

Can we also appreciate that around four of these ladies had only been to about THREE dance classes! 🤯

It just goes to show that you don’t need years of experience to get involved. Different levels, different abilities, one class — and everyone having a brilliant time together! ❤️

So, if you’ve been thinking about giving dancing a go… this is your sign! ✨

🪩 60 mins of tappy time for meeeee 🪩

I followed my own advice and took some much-needed “me time” yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed my tap class .

I miss dancing just for the fun of it. Did I get everything right? Absolutely not. Did I have a good time trying? Absolutely yes!

It’s also really helpful for me as a teacher to be taught by someone else. I love learning different ways of teaching certain steps and discovering what works for me when I’m learning, so I can maybe change up the way I do things.

I managed to catch a wee bit of footage by propping up my phone (we were allowed to for one run-through). I’m out of shot for most of it 🤣

I don’t think my brain and feet have had to work that quickly since the last time I took his class. It was nice to see I can still keep up with the whippersnappers, although I could have done with dancing it for another half an hour so I could nail the very ending 🤣

🤔 When was the last time you did something just for yourself? 🤔

Maybe it’s time to tick that last one off your list!

We’re only in our second week back, so there’s still plenty of time to join us and give something new a try 🤗

Come and dance with us! 💜
