Throwback to 2015 and this ADORABLE "Bumblebee" routine by Stargazer Irish
Those wings!! 🥺
"Bumblebees" - dancewisestudios.com "Bumblebees" from the Throwback segment of the 2015 show "Next 10"Choreography - Alison Jones
Why is it SO hard to motivate yourself....?
Especially to do something you LOVE! ❤️
We spend A LOT of time answering this question for our students when it comes to practice. We all know:
🗣 "Practice makes perfect"
Totally TRUE. So everyone one just does it, right? 🤔
Obviously not or we'd all be Usain Bolt ⚡️🥇
Something happens between LOVING something in class.... and being motivated to practice it again the next day
👉👉 Here's the secret.... 🤫
EVERYONE looks at it the wrong way! It's not about ADDING more, it's about SUBTRACTING...
❌ Distractions
❌ When to do it
❌ What to do
❌ Space
❌ Fatigue....
👉👉 Here's the solution....
We have PROVEN solutions that we teach to all of our kids.
They are all to do with SUBTRACTING the excuses that get in our way, and REVEALING the success when we do so.
1. Little and Often
2. Habit Habit Habit
3. What's the WHY??
4. The Progress Process
5. Reward the work
The ones that take them and make them happen become GREAT
(The others have all the tools they need, as well as all of our support, so that when it clicks.... and they are ready..... they will be great too)
Here's one guy who get's that PROGRESS is down to PROCESS.
He's taken our solutions and run with them 🔥
And the results.... Well, we'll let him speak for himself...

👉 Costume Included 👈
Performance is big for us! We give students an opportunity to perform live on stage - and what performance is complete without a dazzling costume?
Well your child's costume is 100% included.
No surprise costume fees!

We’re celebrating Jack’s birthday! He’s a member of our street crew Shino-B and had one wish this birthday…… to play the crash mat game.
We train ‘em weird in Shino-B 🤪🥷

Throwback to 2019's show "Within Us All" and the Classic Video Games Number!
That Legend of Zelda remix!
What did you think of it?
Why don't Dancewise enter festivals, competitions and do formal exams?
Can you show me a level 10 in creativity?
Or a 3 in artistic expression?
How about a distinction level in soulfulness?
It's tough right? We don't judge people who want to do exams and competitions at all - simply, we want to train dancers to get on stage and blow audiences away.
Here's Hip Hop pioneer Mr Wiggles who shares our views!

👉 Perform Every Year 👈
Performance is big for us! We give students an opportunity to perform live on stage every year! But this isn't a 'studio showcase' performance. Each one is created to take the audience into a new world, while giving our students their time to shine!

Throwback to 2015's show "Next 10" with this reimagining of Matthew Bourne's The Car Man
The guys enjoyed performing this routine - can you tell? 😂
Boys who dance mean a lot to Dancewise!
Even in today's day and age it's still tricky for a young boy to say "I want to learn to dance"
Hopefully some words of advice from one of the legends and pioneers of Hip Hop dance will inspire.... and keep your ears out for his first steps inside the studio it. It may surprise you!

"Always remain a student"
It's a mantra we live by! The teachers at Dancewise LIVE by this mantra and do our best to pass this on to all our students.
And isn't it a better way to be? Always on a journey of discovery, growth and development 😊
Have a listen to Mr Wiggles give his opinion on young dancers taking their skills to the next level!

Throwback to 2019 and the awesomely creepy "Azkaban" in the Potter segment! Seeing the Dementors come to life once the dancers had their costumes was a treat we won't forget in a hurry!
We LOVE this!
Dance brings us together, helps us communicate without the burden of words and let’s us share what is in our hearts
We can’t wait to start back in 2023! Big stuff is coming!
Confidence forms the basis of everything we do at the studio.
Watching students grow, overcome challenges and prove to themselves that they are stronger than they ever imagined is the best reward we could imagine.

3 days to go 🎄🎅🏻☃️📆🥰🎁
Today we hear from.... Thom
Thom is our artistic director and one of our street dance teachers
This is a great memory.... or handful of memories! We do so much throughout the year for our students to get involved in, and each one of them is chosen to create memories for our students, our team and our families!
As you can see, all of these things make memories for everyone from the newest students, co owners of the studio like Thom
When we get a chance to be together and do what we love, thats when memories are made!
Lovely memory Thom!

Today we hear from.... Molly!
"from when we found out what we were doing to the final finalé"
We loved reading this memory. Molly is a Dancewiser through and through and perfectly summed up what gets us out of bed in her memory.
A whole lot of time with our Dancewise family
Personal challenge and triumph
Giggles and fun with our friends
Live performances
Making memories
That's it! 😊
It's simple, elegant, and us ❤️
Fab memory Molly
Throwback to 2019 and the oh too cute "Cowboys" number in the Lost segment - how much did they deserve that audience moment?!
Could you have stopped yourself joining in too?

5 days to go... ❄️☃️📆🎄🎁
Today we hear from.... Niamh!
"I was so proud of myself and worked so hard for this..."
Motivation is a funny thing; It's very misunderstood!
We all see it as a spark, a moment, a surge, a revelation, an ignition... We've all experienced those sparks and started a new hobby, craft project, DIY job... then what happens when the spark goes.... uh ohhhh
Motivation is a spark....
Pfffft... RUBBISH!
👉👉 Motivation is a result!!
Stay with me.
Motivation is a product of having done something, seen some results, done it some more and applied yourself a little more, seen even more results.... and on and on!
Niamh says as much here. She worked so hard and look, she got the result! These moments are amazing to see! We were so SO proud of Niamh for her portrayal of Finn in S.U.P.E.R. and this picture sums it up perfectly.
It was taken during her bows in the finale when the room erupted into applause. If that ain't transforming lives through PASSION and POSITIVITY then I don't know what is!
Great memory Niamh!
Who likes rejection??
No one does!
But there are tools, tips and tricks we can teach to help anyone cope and deal with set backs, failure and challenge
It builds RESILIENCE
Pro dancers live with rejection as part of their life (lots of dancers going for a handful of jobs) so we've asked Will Bozier (pro classical dancer and Matthew Bourne regular) for his top tips on dealing with negativity and failure
We know, we know!
It’s not dance but…. Chase your dreams! And when an opportunity opens itself to you….. kick the ball into the goal!!

Today we hear from.... Jasper!
"...there is something magical about the first dress rehearsal..."
They aren't wrong! The show experience at Dancewise Studios is big. Like, BIG big! And like Jasper says, it's so much more than just one show, or one weekend...
It's everything!
The build up to finding out all about the show...
The reveal...
Hearing about the story...
Hearing about the concepts for the dances in class...
Listening to the music...
The first rehearsal in class...
Trying on the costume for the first time...
The dress rehearsals where we watch each other's dances...
EVERYTHING builds and builds and builds towards the show weekend. A beautiful, exciting, imagination fuelling, hype building experience for us all to share. And it makes the final product something filled with love and gratitude for what we get to do.
We couldn't have said it better ourselves, Jasper!

7 days to go.... 🥰❤️🎅🏻📆❄️☃️🎄
Today we hear from.... James!
"the hungry hippos game..."
It's not what it sounds like... this is way bigger than the board game. And uses an entirely different type of board!
The students lay on skate boards and another student holds their ankles. They push them into the middle of the room where a whole load of ball pit balls are and the 'hippo' grabs them
It's a game we play to wind down each term. It's hilarious! Everyone loves it and can't wait to play it 🥰
It's so important to us to share these moments with our students. To just laugh and play with them at the end of a term, to relax the boundaries between us and just be people enjoying a fun game.
We're so glad you enjoyed Human Hungry Hippos James! We love it too!

Today we hear from... Lily!
"getting to be a part of the show for the first time"
The show is the centre of our calendar. Everything leads towards a big live performance at the end of the year to share, celebrate and come together.
The first show people do is always an exciting mix of adrenaline, smiles, nerves, fun and exhilaration!
That's what brings the transformation that we work towards - the transforming power of live performance!
And I mean.... look at Lily!
This is her on stage in 2022. Look how bold, confident and engaging she looks!
We'd say that power is working pretty well for her 🥰
It was great to be able to share your memory Lily! ❤️

Today we hear from... Ella!
"It was really fun, exciting and a good start to a good show"
The audience enjoys the part of a show they are able to see on stage
The dancers get to enjoy everything that happens behind the scenes too! So often it's those memories that come back to us over and over.
Waiting in the wings, watching your friends performing their routine, silent exchanges before you go on, hugs, squeezes, smiles...
Ella's memory is one shared by a whole network of students, teachers and parents alike who share in the experience backstage. We're often running around doing things so we loving hearing about the parts of the show its so easy for us to miss.
Fab memory Ella 🥰
