Getting ‘BOOKED’ isn’t always about you as an individual. Here’s why
Have you ever watched two people do the same choreography, but it looks like a different piece altogether? Now this doesn’t mean one of them is better than the other, but they dance it so differently, so you can’t even compare the two! Both of these dancers may be the...
Struggling to find cute AND comfy dance outfits? I got chooo!

My ARMY DC Journey
It's mad to think that when I started Beckie’s classes ‘THE ARMY DC’ wasn’t even a thing... There was about 15 of us in the class and I was SOOO nervous as it was the first time I had just turned up to a dance class by myself. I had watched one of Beckie’s videos and...

Why dance college wasn’t for me…
