Hello & happy new year! We have something very exciting to tell you. The application to National Lottery Project Grant through Arts Council England was successful! This is big news. I applied as an individual to develop an idea I’ve had in mind, for quite some time. The link between body & mind, the connection […]

A creative space for self-love & happiness returns. Coming up next is the end of summer festival season. Waggle Dance Co will be contributing at Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Festival in Tatton Park. We’re dancing over at the Children’s Corner, and we can’t wait! Back in July we were ecstatic to be involved at Happy […]

As it is nearly the May bank holiday & it’s coming up to the half-way point in our year, I have tried to become more efficient with my time. I’ve decided to work smarter & not harder. Here with the help of my own personal AI I have the whole internet (up until 2021) as […]

As a founder and choreographer, I am delighted to get to work in a team. I met a fantastic community of artists and CICs that are part of Enfield borough […]

It’s exciting to see whatwould be our […]

It was the novelty of leaving the house for the whole day that had me excited to get to a real life dance class. Packed lunch and breakfast bars ready from the night before – new uniform and a giddiness to get working in a creative space once more. Last week, I travelled to Luton […]

This one’s for all the dance parent’s, carers and guardians out there. I know first-hand how much dedication goes into ‘dance class’. From the age of 4, I went to dance class every Saturday, then took private lessons and from exams to shows to competitions and back around again. My Mum had to be there […]

I feel that the more you practise something the easier it gets (most of the time). So last week I pitched my Business Plan to my friend. Once the initial shock of “I’ve done it” passed there were lots of little bits to tidy – up and work on, I realised this is something I […]

My family is big. Spreading the length of the UK from the Highlands of Inverness through to the Capital down South. I have lot of nephews and nieces, cousins with babies and being part of the Kids WhatsApp group is one of the best things! You can never tell what the next video will be […]
