After 41 years of teaching dance and 51 of dancing, I have taken my final bow. And honestly… I don’t quite have the words.
My last day yesterday I managed to keep it together .. but this morning I couldn’t 😭
Dance has never just been a job to me — it has been my life, my passion, my purpose. For over four decades I have had the privilege of watching nervous first steps turn into confident, beautiful dancers. I have seen lifelong friendships formed, dreams realised, and so many magical moments.
This week, the love and support I have received has completely overwhelmed me. The messages, gifts,flowers the memories, the hugs, the kindness… I will carry them all in my heart forever.
To every student who walked through our doors, every colleague and friend who stood beside me — thank you. You have shaped my life far more than you will ever know.
While this chapter closes, the music will always play in my heart. 💖
