5th July 2024 Newsletter

Hi all,

As always, thanks so much for coming to class/subscribing this week!

Broadway, Burlesque and Bellinis!

Wow! I can't even believe that a week has already passed since we did this amazing event! I was so nervous to teach the Broadway section that the whole event feels like a blur, but I've had such great feedback that I'm sure everyone had a great time!

I don't like to choose favourites, but I think this is my favourite event that I've ever hosted! It was soooo up my street with the Broadway stuff and it was amazing to watch everyone embrace their sexy side with the Burlesque portion of the evening! I do try to come up with a different idea every year, but this one was so fun that I really, really hope that we will be able to do it again next year! Several people have siad they'd definitely do it again and there were quite a few people who weren't able to join us that have asked if I'll do it again, so I think we have already decided on next year's fundraiser - I just need to sweet-talk Arabella now!

A special thanks to Arabella Sparkles for coming along and teaching us how to get our sexy on! The Burlesque portion went down so well with everyone, I'm so thrilled that you all gave it a go!

If you missed out and want to give it a go then Arabella is hosting some events in September that she'd love to invite you all to!

Belly Dance Diva Workshop – 29th September; 1:30-3:00pm

Learn to shimmy, ooze and pose like a Belly Dancer! In this workshop we will explore Belly Dance fundamentals like the shimmy, belly roll, curvacious hip circles & figure 8s. If you are new to Belly Dance and want to experience what it feels like to be a Belly Dance Diva then this workshop is for you!

Burlesque Fans – 29th September 2024; 3:30-5:00pm

Indulge in a 1.5 hour Burlesque Fans workshop with Showgirl Arabella Sparkles. We will explore the art of the tease with fans and a glove peel as well as wiggle and giggle through the basic burly moves and learn a simple classic routine.

Do check out Arabella's website for details on more events she has coming up! https://arabelladances.com/

Once again, I must thank all the local businesses that donated to the raffle, as well as Davies and Partner's Solicitors at Aztec West who sponsored our hall hire so we didn't have to take that cost out of the fundraising!

Thanks again to everyone who made this event possible and so successful! I truly appreciate your generosity in supporting a cause that is so special to me and to so many other people.

Here's to next year!

Pilates and Barre spaces

The next term of Pilates and Barre both start next week. There are just a few spaces left so book online or get in touch with me for a spot. All classes are held in Alveston.

Tuesday 11:15am Pilates - Fully Booked

Tuesday 6:00pm Pilates - Fully Booked

Tuesday 7:05pm Barre - Spaces left

Thursday 11:30am Pilates - Fully Booked

Thursday 7:05pm Pilates - Fully Booked

Thursday 8:05pm Pilates - 2 spaces left

Friday 9:05am Pilates - 1 space left

Friday 11:10am Barre - Spaces left

I've opened the pay-as-you-go option up for Barre, but it's likely this will only be availble for the next 5 weeks. I have a massive waiting list for both classes for Sept so doubt there will be any p-a-y-g from Sept for a while.
