My gosh... it has certainly been a long time since I have written a post here hasn't it!? I know I don't have to tell you all, you know exactly how busy life is and gets and then suddenly the months have passed by and time has ticked along!

I am writing this blog as I sit at our family home in Spain watching the day go by, and listening to the sea hitting the shore and reflecting in the blissful quiet

and calm surroundings.

I always find once I get away from the daily routine and lifestyle I have time and the headspace to do all of the little things I enjoy, such as writing, reading and walking, and I am determined to try and bring those elements back home with me to London when I say adios to Spain.

So... what has been going on since I last wrote to you? Hmm, well I have completed my second full academic year at Elmhurst Ballet School which is very exciting. I feel very privileged to work in such an enriching, supportive and nurturing environment and as the months have passed I have realised just how much I love helping the next generations with their journeys into this incredible world of show business.

My open class at Pineapple Dance Studios is going from strength to strength, I am so lucky to have the talented Matt Gregory play for me each week and together we are looking at ways to push the class and take it to the next level... Stay tuned for news on this is the coming weeks!

I also continue my weekly All Style Dance Workout class via Zoom, which really is a highlight of my week. We have become a close knit group and it really is a lovely energy each week to come together from all across the UK to dance, laugh and move!

My family are all well, my parents were able to come to Elmhurst at the end of term to enjoy the 100th year celebration gala which was incredible to share that moment with them. My partner and I got engaged in Summer 2022 and continue to push our own journeys whilst being each other's main supporters. As we all know life in 2o23 is very hectic and busy, but it is always nice to find moments like this, sitting here today and just to acknowledge all of the good things that are going on around us.

I would like to thank you all for the continued support, encouragement and belief that you give me. I love what I do and if I am able to help and inspire even just one person, then it will all be worth it! So I hope you can continue on this journey with me and let us see what the next academic year brings for all of us!.

I hope to see you at a class soon either in person or online, and as always if I can be of any help please do just reach out via social media or the site.

I wish you a fantastic Summer, keep going and always find one thing each day to smile at!

Take care,
