Share the Love Week Dancing Side by Side
Our Share the Love Week came to a joyful close yesterday, and it has been one of those weeks that reminds you exactly why we do what we do.
Before the February break, parents were invited into the studio - not just to sit and watch, but to take part. And they embraced it wholeheartedly.
Across all classes and styles, parents joined in - from ballet to jazz, contemporary to musical theatre, and everything in between. They stood at the barre, travelled across the floor, tried combinations, clapped rhythms and, in some cases, discovered muscles they didn’t know they had!
There was laughter, a little uncertainty, plenty of encouragement, and so much pride. Watching parents experience a class from their child’s perspective was incredibly powerful. They felt the focus, the coordination, the bravery it takes to perform even the simplest sequence. And our pupils absolutely rose to the occasion - confident, supportive and proud to share their space.
Alongside the classes, each pupil received a positive affirmation card - small words carrying big meaning. Strength. Kindness. Determination. Creativity. Because at our school, character matters just as much as capability.
Parents were also handed heartfelt thank-you messages written by their children. Honest, thoughtful words recognising the lifts, the drives, the costume prep, the waiting, the constant encouragement. There were more than a few emotional moments.
Our photo booth captured the spirit of the week - families laughing together, friends celebrating, and memories being made.
Share the Love Week isn’t about perfect steps. It’s about connection. It’s about community. It’s about sharing the love of dance in all its forms.
To every parent who stepped into the studio and gave it a go - thank you. And to our wonderful pupils, thank you for sharing your passion so generously.
This is what makes our dance family so special.
