โœจ One of the most exciting parts of having our own studio is the incredible opportunities we can now offer our pupils! We couldn’t think of anyone better than the insanely talented Grace O’Brien to lead one of our very first weekend workshops. Our dancers embraced every technique and all the knowledge Grace shared with them — it was truly inspiring to watch! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. We hope you left feeling motivated, passionate and full of creative energy. And of course, thank you to Grace @grace.oliviaobrien - Your movement and energy lights up every space you’re in and we’re so lucky to have your continued support for our school ๐Ÿ’œ We can’t wait to have you back!
