Here’s a few of my Strensall ladies dancing their hearts out!

This is from Dance Yourself Happy 2nd release. You have options to squat low or stay higher, jump or don’t jump and rest whenever you feel like it!

This group are particular fans of free styling. Keep watching to see this at the end.

These ladies often go on for coffee together after my class, but they didn’t know each other before. It’s a great way to build new friendships.

Breaking down what becomes so natural for trained dancers, is absolutely essential for beginners!

In this class, we simply practiced roughly where the arms are placed. Once my group can do this confidently, then we will start looking at the shape of the arms, the position of the fingers and how to add some overall ‘dance quality’.

However, it is hard to deny how graceful they are looking after just 5 minutes of practice!

Throwback to last term when my class learnt the technique behind a posé, glissadés and assemblés.

We practiced for weeks before collating the steps into a short sequence.

Sometimes I forget how much dance can actually help you get away from your everyday life! That reminds me, I must go do a dance class myself at some point!!

Have a great week everyone!

This is my Welburn Dance Yourself Happy class.

We move through a variety of dance styles, but here you can see the contemporary section.

My classes are suitable for people with no dance experience and most people who come to my classes really don’t have any.

How fantastic does this group look!? Their energy, the strength in their movement, their timing!!! I LOVE it when I see a group progress like this 💃

Teaching my beginners class about grand pliés. These guys have now completed 7 weeks worth of floor barre, barrework and centrework. They are doing incredibly well.

Follow to see some of the floorbarre exercises over the coming weeks.

We’ve recently been breaking down posé turns. In this exercise we were aiming for ‘slow and controlled’.

Well imagine the surprise when one of my students said “I don’t do slow!”……and went straight into this!

But you know what - we don’t need to be perfect or feel pressurised, we are adults in a fun environment. If this is what Tamara wanted to do, then I am here to cheer her on, as were the rest of the class!!

These ladies did so well to dance in the 30 degree heat yesterday!

More to come from this lovely lot, watch this space!

I was browsing through my class footage the other day, and just look what I came across!! Suzanne has been training with me for just over a year now. She works so hard, is incredibly determined and has really grown in strength and confidence.

This ‘still’ says it all - optional jumps in my Dance Yourself Happy class, and boy did she go for it! Great height, great lines, strong core!

Outstanding work, Suzanne!!
