What a Team…. Feeling blessed!

So good to have our whole Team back together again.
These guys mean to world to us and are so thankful and grateful for their kindness, hard work, patience and dedication.

Thank you to Craig for the years of continued support and hours of hard work you have put into our students not to mention the miles you’ve travelled. Your expertise and wisdom goes a long way. Thank you for always believing in us and for always being by our side from the beginning we are forever grateful.

Thank you to Aironas who has slotted into our team seamlessly. Your work ethic and core values are an asset to us and it’s showing through in all of our students. You have a calm aura and an effortless class that you show on and off the dance floor. You are absolutely invaluable and we are so lucky to have you work along side us.

My partner in Crime Michelle…. I actually feel like I don’t have enough words!
As I don’t know where I would be without this incredible women by my side.
Always there to lift me up when I am down, motivates me to be a better person, teacher and role model.
You are literally my rock. Thank you for just being you and all that you do. You are the kindest person I know always putting everyone before yourself.
Thank you for helping me share my dreams and aspirations with you and most of all creating a beautiful dance family that we are incredibly proud of. ❤️

Sorry if I’m sounding a bit mushy… think I’m just overly proud, emotional and getting old! 😂

Proud of who we are and what we have ❤️
