How ‘Message In A Bottle’ proves you can be an incredible dancer with the body you have (not the body you think you should have)
Hi dancers! So sorry about the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks. I have been dealing with the loss of one of my teachers and it has been a difficult time. I will write about this in a little more detail eventually, but not yet. In the meantime, though, I’m happy to…
Secret London: Barbican Conservatory

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed last month’s planner posts- if you missed them, you can read about my reviews of The Happiness Planner here and the MiGoals 2019 diary here.

The Happiness Planner
As we’re at the start of a brand new year, I thought that this might be an appropriate time to share with you all some of the journals and planners I use to keep me on-track, both in my dance life and in my personal life. It’s at this time of year that some of…
