Some absolutely adorable footage of yesterday's Tots Dance class ❤️

I often get questions about how young is too young for dance classes and honestly there's no such thing. Both my Toddler Ballet and Tots Dance classes are classes where a parent is there with them to help them get the hang of things and it's a perfect first step into the world of dance ❤️

As much as I love teaching self defence, there are certain things I really wish weren't necessary.
Me and "M" had a 1-2-1 last night (school holiday effect) and in it we looked at some more challenging scenarios that women and girls could find themselves in.

Fighting back from the floor is extremely hard and quite frankly exhausting - this is why it is important to do repetitive drills like this one.
Not only is it building stamina it's giving a more realistic idea of the scenario - it could take a while to land a kick.

It's a really odd feeling teaching this kind of content. On one hand I am so grateful to have a platform where I can teach girls and women these potentially life saving skills, however on the other I really do long for a day where it's not necessary (we can hope right?)

Honestly... How did watching this make you feel?

We are enrolling for September now!
Thinking about signing yourself or your child up to dance classes? What's stopping you?
Pop us a message today to come and have a try!

I have had enough.
Enough of people claiming that women are safe.
Enough of being told what I am doing is just creating fear

Our women and girls are not safe. That's a fact.

This poor women booked a hotel to have on her words "a night away from the fear" of her abuser and what happened? Hotel staff gave him a key which enabled him to attack her.

When are we going to start taking the safety of our women and girls seriously? How many of us have to face abuse, attacks and danger for the message to finally go in?
