Dance Crazy

My kids are DANCE CRAZY. Like CRAZEE. The eldest 2 started when they were really young... like toddling around - in the end Niamh chose horses. Tayla chose dance.

And she LOVED it. (Huge thanks to Miss Sarah Cookney!)

When we moved to the UK she struggled to find a dance school that she fit into or one that was even on the same level as SCAD in Cape-Town.

Until we found Katie. Well, until Katie found us :) 

Tayla had been really involved with gymnastics after we moved here and it was there I met my gym jail mate, Nicky. After a year or so of babbling away every Friday afternoon the girls class was split and we stopped seeing each other so often. Until one day she facebooked me about a new dance school her friend had just set up called Wombats.

So off we went for our first trial - that was back in February and we have NEVER looked back.  The girls LOVE the class and they LOVE Katie. She's an amazing teacher and a true dance inspiration.

Now both Shanah and Tayla go twice a week, they flip, they point, they twirl, they sweat blood and tears and they both work so bloody hard to do their very best.  And it pays off because they're both pretty awesome if I do say so myself. *bursting proud mother moment here*

The school has grown over the last few months from just a handful of kids to the group you see in the picture above. Every single one of these girls are amazing and they have all grown in confidence and skill in such a short time.

Katie - we love you to bits, Thank You for putting the passion and spirit back into dance for my girls. You're awesome. You ROCK!

Do your kids do an afterschool club? What do they enjoy doing?
