On this weeks podcast I had the pleasure of catching up with my gorgeous students, Anya, Melissa and Fin as I thought this would be a great episode for not only our student listeners but for teachers too.  In our chat today (which was recorded before the announcement on Sunday evening) we discuss how the students have found this past year and its uncertainty. The lack of control around situations and being out of your comfort zone. We discuss the importance of dance, consistency and perseverance. I didn’t prep the students for this conversation and that is why our talk is authentic, real and it is quite emotional listening to how grown up and how incredibly resilient the younger generation are. I am so grateful for all my students and I will always be.  We also talk about our favourite memories at the school, our Disney trip, boys that dance and what we are grateful for.  We talk about the things we miss, what we have learnt from dance, they break down how to cope with an unstructured day and how to self motivate. At 15 and 16 we could all take a leaf from their book, I was so proud after speaking to them and I think every single dance teacher should be proud of what they’ve achieved this year too.  This was recorded on zoom so the sound quality isn't the best! Enjoy!
