Fast! paced lived face paced living!!

LETS FACE IT! today we live in a society of fast paced lives, fast paced living and a consumer society where we all want something now and be good at something right away and if we cant do something straight away we give up. Its alot easier to quit at something than meet the challenge and rise to it

Dancing is like a fine wine

The thing about dancing is.......its like a fine wine (yes please)! and what does a fine bottle of wine do ....NO not go off it gets better with age. That does mean if I start break dancing now at 99 im gonna be back flipping (however that might get some youtube hits mind) but it means that dancing is very challenging (depending on dance style) BUT if you stick at it you will get better. For sure I know sometime people have to classes for 5 weeks and get disheaterned that they arent improving. The realism is that it took years at school to be good at science (to be honest I wasnt that good), art, maths or any subject so learning to dance is no different...BUT the rewards that you gain from being good at dancing are worth it!

What you put in is what you get out

Like anything in life whether its a relationship (Now i know what ive been doing wrong all these years, opps), your job or a hobby, what you put in is what you get out. Sometime its hard to remember when we first went to school that it took us years of lessons to become good at all the various subjects (although im probably still rubbish at geography). Dance is no different, the more classes you go to, the more you practice at home, in the bedroom or even in tescos (thats right my friends I will dance anywhere..I have no shame) is what you get out of it. Ive always and still amazed by the level of dancing out there whether watching a concert on dvd and seeing some of Justin Timberlake dancers, or even some of our home grown talent such as Flawless and Diversity in how they make dancing look so easy! BUT they make it easy because.......... of years of dedication, training and practice! If you put the training in and practice and attend classes on a regular basis you will be amazing....trust me you will be!! As they say 'ROME was not built in a day'. If you put the time in and have real passion you will be amazing!!

Challenging for sure! BUT definitely rewarding

Im sure we all have watched some amazing dancing from the likes of usher, JT diversity etc and think wow they make it look easy. But dancing to that level does take alot of training....BUT anyone can reach that level though, of course you can! I remember when I first started going to Street dance classes in Pineapple dance studio finding the classes incredibly hard but I just thought ok well if these guys can dance then sure im gonna just keep at it!

Dance is always challenging, in all aspects...well ok some people have natural ability for sure but in general todays dancing is quite challenging! But if you keep at it there are so many rewards, improved fitness, bring able to tdo something that alot of other people cant, meet new and fantastic people and maybe one day teach people and inspire people to get into dancing!

Be a winner not a quitter!

Here are to great sayings that you can apply to anything "you got to be in it to win it!" or "When the going gets tough , the tough get going". For sure sometime its alot easier to quit something than to keep at something challenging and dance is no different. I can remember over the years dancing so many times I've thought showing the towel in for various reason BUT also for me I have a mentality of hate being beaten by something so have always kicked myself in the b*tt to rise to the challenge. I think those thing in life that are always the most challenging are the most rewarding and even when you try something new and challenging and feel 'I so cant do this' and then you do do it the feeling of success is the BEST!!!

For me when teaching people I always say 'There is no such thing as you cant do!.....you may not be able to do something today, but if you train hard and put the time in you can do anything", the only limitations of how good we become are our own barriers. Together hopefully you will become and amazing dancer by attending our classes.

The Road is long with many a winding turn!

For sure when learning to dance there is up and downs good days and bad days, aches pains, europhia, addiction, good and bad moments but thats the great thing about dancing it creates a variety of emotions. For me personally I like the endless journey of self improvement. For me dancing is a endless journey and I will always be a student learning new things whether it be totally different dances or techniques and hopefully I can pass on what ive learned to other people so that they can get the same enjoyment I have over the years of dancing.
