The LR Dance School

⭐️ADFP Colchester 14/6/26⭐️

We had a fabulous day together at the Colchester City Championships, with big heats and a very good standard of dancing throughout all age groups. The day was very clear from the beginning that it was going to be all about powering through, giving 200% in every round and putting our best foot forward!

With the best cheerleaders supporting our gorgeous girls they could hear us loud and proud on the dance floor. We really are blessed with the most incredible dance family ❤️.

A huge well done to our darling girls who represented us Charlotte, Niamh, Ava, Kate, Molly, Amelia, Isla, Mimi, Orla, Alexis, Ayda and Myla (who joined us later in the day for her street solo).

We are all so proud of you girls, you are just non stop in class working so incredibly hard on your goals and pushing forward in everything. Keep flying high angels. ✨

Girls we also just want to mention your floor craft, presentation, attention to detail with hair/make up & accessories and costumes were stunning 🤩 .

To our beautiful girls Sienna, Emmy, Molly and Harriet, I want you know how proud we are of you all 🩷🖤🩷🖤. It may have been a very small group of us trying to Qualify at this event and I know how hard you are all working in class on your routines. You all danced and performed so beautifully on the floor and together we all celebrated the success of Sienna and Harriet both Qualifying for Nationals in October. We are over the moon for you both ❤️❤️. The standard was incredibly high and you both danced from your hearts. Huge congratulations Sienna and Harriet.

To our darling Molly who danced through the big heats to make her Solo final, well done sweetheart, your lines were gorgeous! ❤️

With lots of support, love, friendship and laughter we really did have a lovely day. The car journey home with Molly and Harriet was hilarious and it was so wonderful to have a catch up with my 4 gorgeous Mummies Donna, Melissa, Lois and Gemma.

We love you girls!

A team dances best when every individual shines while supporting those around them.

Great dancers shine individually, but they create true magic together.

🩷🖤🩷🖤

Between the music and the dancing, being all together every week is most definitely our second home with our favourite company.

A place where every pupil can laugh with their friends, share their day and always feel supported and loved by their dance family.

🩷🖤🩷🖤

Dance friends cheer the loudest, support the strongest and sparkle the brightest.

Dance friends are the best friends and truly connected by the heart.

🩷🖤🩷🖤

No matter how busy life becomes with school, college and university, dance remains the constant thread that brings my beautiful seniors together within our Dance School. Through changing schedules and growing responsibilities, they always treasure the joy, friendship and connection they share together on the dance floor. 🩷🖤🩷🖤

The month of May was truly beautiful, from class work to focusing on syllabus content and technique, to competitions and staying focused on our goals. It was also full of so much more….

🩷Showing up
🩷Working hard
🩷Supporting one another
🩷Building confidence
🩷Celebrating progress

Every dancer at LRD has their own journey and throughout May we've watched our pupils grow in skill, resilience and self-belief.

To every single one of our darling pupils, your commitment inspires us every day.

Keep trusting the process, keep enjoying the journey and keep dancing from your heart!

We're so proud of you all! 🩷🖤🩷🖤
