The #FirstDance of the Rest of Your Lives

So many congratulations to P&Y on their wedding da So many congratulations to P&Y on their wedding day yesterday @furthomanorfarm . ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‘ฐ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿคต๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿฝ

These photos and videos were from their final rehearsal with me in the stunning grounds of Furtho and it felt like the first day of spring. The perfect feeling of new beginnings in every sense of the word in the sunshine.

A glorious process working with these two: a childhood ballet dancer and martial arts expert who had never danced together before, but moved so incredibly naturally together. Grace, elegance and composure, all brought together by loads of practice in between lessons with me so the final result was so relaxed and calm.

Iโ€™ve seen the video of the actual routine โ€“ excited to share some snippets of the final event, but needed to share the beauty of these sunny moments with them.

So proud of these two who have said they will carry on dancing together forever more!

Busy day of teaching Dance and Pilates classes and Busy day of teaching Dance and Pilates classes and some admin in between! Tiny break sitting in the sun waiting for my studio to open - snacking on my nuts ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿฅœ with dark chocolate (the least naught choc!), ๐Ÿซ and drinking GreenSynergy Elixir to keep the energy going ๐ŸŒฑ. Perfect for the NY detox / gut cleanse, Iโ€™ve regularly been taking GreenSynergy Elixir from B corporation Arbonne - it has definitely improved my skin and hair!! Tried to capture that in a pic ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ

Itโ€™s just genius. So easy to knock back each day and easy to travel with when Iโ€™m on the go - especially when I canโ€™t get time to always cook from scratch (but not a substitute for the whole food cooking lol!). Love it!

Highly recommend. LMK if you want more info!

THAT MAGICAL PROCESS OF LEARNING TO DANCE โœจโœจโœจ We see it on TV dance competitions all the time - the transformation the celebs go through, and the growth beyond just learning some moves, and itโ€™s a beautiful thing. And dance lessons could be the best statement present to someone you love at Christmas. Something they can make memories with. To strengthen their bond with each other.

Christmas is done - but thereโ€™s so much to look Christmas is done - but thereโ€™s so much to look forward to! Maybe youโ€™ve been putting wedding 2024 or 2025 planning on holdโ€ฆor maybe youโ€™ve just got engaged (Congratulations if so!) and have got a new focus for the year, getting ideas together!

So letโ€™s get the evening party plans started for you, and talk through your first wedding dance - see b - i - o to book a meeting with me ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿฅ‚

Donโ€™t forget I do hen dance parties too - the ladies Iโ€™ve taught have been known to BECOME the evening entertainment as they whip out their hen dance moves during the evening flash mob style.  These hen dance parties are a perfect activity for getting the hen crew bonding before the wedding through learning a cute dance routine - burlesque, Beyoncรฉ mash ups, 80s dance party - you name your music jam, weโ€™ve got something for everyone!

You could even get the whole bridal party involved in the first dance sending them a video of an easy-to-learn routine in advance if itโ€™s hard to get you all together that they join in with. 

Iโ€™ve got so many ideas so letโ€™s chat!
