SOMEONE REPLACED ME IN MY OWN DANCE VIDEO.

A few weeks ago, one of my students sent me a video and asked, "Isn't this your choreography?"

I opened it, started watching and immediately rec...

MAYBE IT WAS NEVER FOR MEN.

Heels, the male gaze, and why femininity still makes people uncomfortable.

There's something I've been thinking about for a while, and it's how differently people seem to perceive heels compared to other dance styles.

Despite how much heels has grown over the last few ...

I think comparison is probably one of the hardest parts of being a dancer, creative, teacher, business owner... literally anyone who puts something they care about out into the world.

And I don't think comparison always looks like “I wish I was her” or “I want what she has.” Sometimes it's way more...

Okay, This one might piss some people off. This is gonna be a long one because I have a LOT of thoughts on this, grab a cuppa and let's get into it.

 I feel like I'm seeing more and more dancers go from taking classes to teaching classes VERY quickly. And before somebody starts typing...

No, I don...

Starting dance classes can feel WEIRD.

You walk into a room full of people who somehow all seem to know where to stand, what the terminology means, when to move lines and what the fuck a 5, 6, 7, 8 is supposed to prepare you for 😭 Meanwhile you're trying to copy the person in front of you without m...

"I really want to start dancing, but I think I’m too old.”

Too old? No such thing.

I hear versions of this ALL the time. People of all ages telling me they wish they’d started younger. People watching dancers online who have trained since they were three years old and thinking they’ve somehow miss...

Barely surviving an advanced class doesn’t make you an advanced dancer. So why are we all in such a rush to move up?

Beginner, intermediate and advanced are supposed to describe where you are in your training within a particular style. That’s it.

They’re not rankings. They’re not a reflection of h...

I LOVE a class video. Let’s start there before anyone thinks I’m about to tell you to put your phones away and never film yourself dancing again 😂

I do allow people to film in classes and occasionally get a videographer in. I post dance videos (that's probably how most of you even know me lol). Soc...

Not every teacher is going to be your teacher.

Different teaching styles work for different people. You might love a teacher your friend doesn't vibe with, and that's completely normal. Someone not being your cup of tea doesn't automatically make them a bad teacher.

BUTTTT... some things go beyond...

Let’s talk dance class etiquette.

Because somehow there are a whole load of rules that nobody actually tells you… you’re just expected to KNOW them 😂

And if you’re new to taking classes, how would you?!

Most of these aren’t about being strict or making dance class serious. They’re about keeping e...

Choosing the right pair of dance heels can genuinely make or break your training experience. The prettiest pair isn’t always the right pair, especially when you’re first starting out. 

Your heels should work with you, not make everything ten times harder. The right style will depend on your level, ...
