Green's Academy of Dance

Happy GSCE result day to these lovely hard working souls who I have had the joy of watching grow into amazing, creative, articulate, strong minded young women. Enjoy the next adventures darlings 💚 Xx

Can’t wait to meet all the new people signed up to our two new classes.
Contemporary and Beginner Ballet on Tuesday evenings at Stanley Park Jr School 💚💪💃🩰

I have more active 1:1 mentees right now than I've ever had. And this is the reason:

I refused to do what most of my industry do: tell you that more corrections, or different ones, will finally do the trick.

What I committed to instead — with every single person I work with — is going so deep that you can't not be struck.

Not moved in a cute, I-love-ballet way.

But shaken and moved to tears. I don't say that for drama. I say it because it's true.

I've sat across from dancers who came in expecting a correction and left facing something that had nothing to do with their ballet technique at all. A belief. An old story. Something that started long before ballet ever did.

No "I need to stretch more." No "my turnout is bad."

But: I'm ready to face my truth.

This is what happens when you stop treating your body, your thoughts, your soul and heart like a machine that needs fixing, and start treating it like it's been trying to tell you something the whole time.

More corrections were never going to reach that. Only depth could.

Being a dancer is not a hobby, it is an initiation.

This is the work. And it's why the room keeps getting fuller.
