Dance at any age, for any ability
We create a link between organisations with a dance idea and dance artists across Kent. As there are so many of us working together to create dance opportunities for all it's very likely we can help you find what you're looking for. And if you're a dance artist, please contact us, we are always looking for highly trained dance teachers / facilitators / practitioners because we have an ever growing number of dance classes and events.

I would like to thank absolutely everyone who has influenced The Right Step and my journey over the past 14+ years. I have a huge amount of memories to be grateful for. I can't list them, there are simply too many! Next step for me is a bit different, I'll be making our homestead in the middle of a beautiful forest, but they'll always be dancing and I'm very happy with the knowledge that Georgia and her team (all of whom used to be my team so I know them well) will be looking after things. They're brilliant ladies and I'd like to thank them for working so hard to create such a smooth transition.

So, from The Right Step over to Arts Point. Thank you and, as always, keep dancing!

You know the company that’s taking over our classes but who is the person behind Arts Point? It’s our amazing right hand lady.. Georgia!

Georgia has worked with TRS since 2013 and has been such a huge support both behind the scenes in our office as well as leading classes and CPD Training for our teachers! She is the perfect person to be stepping into our shoes and we trust whole heartedly that she will continue the legacy we have built over the years.

The TRS Team is an integral part of the company all of whom will be continuing their wonderful work under Arts Point. Rebecca put into words wonderfully the value they have:

The TRS Team is the most important aspect of The Right Step and I am incredibly grateful for them. The team has evolved and changed over time. Starting with just me, then me and Sophie and growing until, at one point, we had over 20 TRS Team members!

No single person could deliver as much as the TRS Team does together, but it’s more than that. The team support each other. There’s a lot of sharing involved, sharing of ideas, experience, props and resources. Being a dance teacher is often a bit lonely so it’s wonderful that the TRS Teachers have each other.

Some TRS Team members stick around even when they’ve stopped teaching because they just love the team spirit. I’ll be one of those, they’re never getting rid of me! I’m very proud that TRS has brought together this wonderful team. The Right Step wouldn’t be the same without them.

Lovely words from our amazing teacher Lara who, during her time with us, has jumped at the chance to continue developing her skills as a teacher!

We are super proud of the quality of training we have been able to provide over the years curating courses for Educating Dance, Active Armchairs (Level 1 and 2), Behaviour management and Assertiveness, Leap… the list goes on!

Here's another look back on our achievements over the years… the Santa fun run! We have had the privilege of helping the many Santa's warm up in preparation for their fun run over the years, every year we have been involved was so much fun! 🎅

This event is organised Rotary Club of Medway so we would like to say a huge thank you to them for having us over the years. Our lovely TRS Teacher Clare has been a great supporter of this event during her time with us and so she is the perfect person to be taking over the job of warming up the Santa’s with Bridge Academy of Performing Arts

Obviously we couldn’t close this chapter without recognising our incredible Director, Rebecca! Georgia put how we feel into words beautifully:

“What can we say about our dear Mrs Boss Bex?
I could talk about her caring heart, her enthusiasm, I could go from one thing to the next.
What started off as a name on a business card, grew to wonderful colleagues and now to friends that will forever chat,
And honestly, what could be better than that?

‘Right hand lady’ I have been called on many occasions, a label I wear with pride,
Every Magic Moment recorded and celebrated and in a minute, you can look inside.
One of mine has to be our first office that was so small that during meetings, I had to straddle the heater!
I’ve watched you grow your family and thankfully the size of the office, however another I will always cherish sitting with Gaia in one arm and a laptop in the other.

You should be so proud of what you have achieved in all of these years,
It has certainly paid off, all of that blood, sweat and tears.
From Sirens of Chetham, to changes in the current, to the enhance project, the successes just go from here to the sun,
They stretch from dancing on the pier, to the rats bay shing dig, to lots of cheery Santa fun runs.

We have had wonderful socials where we bonded as a team, laughter had with every bite,
Some funny stories too such as Steph shattering a wine glass or Alice setting the napkin alight!
You have celebrated TRS Teachers at every opportunity, taught us, advocated for us, awarded us with treats,
There are still wonderful things to come such as camping, yoga and toasted marshmallows at the TRS Teacher retreat!

Thank you for your belief that you are leaving the team in goods hands still,
I will circle them in enthusiasm but there is a reason I couldn’t take on your logo, they are simply too big TRS footprints to fill.
We know that your destiny now is to raise chickens, ride trackers and heard sheep just to start,
However we know that you will always hold Dance very close to your heart.

While we cannot wait to meet the best egg barer in the forest, our dear Esmerelda,
We cannot help but think about how we will miss her care taker,
However, it isn’t the time for sadness or to shed any tears,
Just the biggest thank you, and best wishes, to the Ultimate TRS Teacher of the year xx"

In the lead up to Arts Point taking The Right Step under their wing, we thought it would be great to take a look back in time at what we have achieved as a company!

From classes across the ages, events, newspaper headlines, CPD Training and more.. we are so proud of The Right Step and all those who have been involved over the 14 years of business!

Back in 2012 TRS had our first Fuse Medway Festival commission entitled "Changes in the Current" which was devised and performed by members of the community about and on The River Medway.

Changes in The Current was an intergenerational promenade performance along The Esplanade in Rochester. Commissioned by FUSE Medway Festival and inspired by The River Medway, we collected memories from the local community, Medway Archive and Local Studies Centre and The Guildhall Museum. Participants in our Active Armchairs lessons developed movement and told us stories about the river during our regular sessions and these were included in the performance. St William of Perth Primary School’s dance club were involved in movement development and some of the classes also made memory boards about the river. The stories, photos, drawings and letters that were and generously given, were displayed along The Esplanade on the day of the performances. This was The Right Step’s first commissioned project, and it is still, probably, most successful because of the sheer number of people involved and the memories that were shared.

Yestersay I visited Ditton Juniors for their Olympics themed workshops with year 3 and year 4. We started off with different sports items in the bag and the children had to create a movement that they thought of to do with the associated sport.

In our warm up we looked at different field and track events and used different body shapes to show each sport.

The children then learnt a sequence whilst learning about the significance of the Olympic rings and the motto:
Faster
Higher
Stronger
Together
And we used these features in our movements.

They then got into groups and created their own movements for different Olympic sports and then linked them together using different sport action words.

At the end we found different and interesting ways to pass our ‘Olympic Torch’ around the class in our cool down to the song ‘Chariots of Fire’.

The children created some wonderful ideas and worked well together. I will be back on Friday with year 5 and 6.

This term we have been exploring Summer Holidays Around the World! From a trip to the zoo in the UK to a carnival in Brazil, we have been having loads of fun. This week we visited the USA with a trip to Texas. Using the very popular Beyoncé song we learnt a simple line dance style routine and of course everyone donned their sparkly cowboy hats and looked fabulous! ✨

Lesson Observations!

This term Georgia has been visiting everyone's lessons as part of their Annual Review. We do nice and helpful, constructive lesson observations so that even the best TRS Teachers can find a way to improve their teaching. It's also a great chance for a catch up and to join in with some Active Armchairs which is always fun!

Rebecca 🤗
