Throwback to The English Gala 2024. ✨
Looking back on some beautiful memories and realising that you should just post that video, post it in full, post it to the original music, perfect or imperfect, just post it. Self-critique isn’t unique, whatever your “thing” is, is probably 100 other people’s “thing”, It’s just much more heightened when it’s ourselves because we often hold our own self to an untenable standard. Don’t get so bogged down in the imperfections that you miss the sincerity, the emotion, the authenticity and just that burning passion you have for dance.
Everyone that came before you has their thing and everyone who comes after will have their thing but no one, absolutely no one, will ever look this good in brown 🤣🤎
Thank you to , congratulations on another successful year!
And thank you to the wonderful .guo_ a true queen of the dance floor.

PASO DOBLE
The SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT 🤩
