✨ “It was red and yellow and green and brown…” — and Limelight delivered every single colour with style! 🌈

Lynne and I had the absolute joy of watching your closing night of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and what a night it was. The stage was bursting with energy, talent and pure joy — the audience was dancing and singing along in their seats. 🎶💛

Your characterisation, storytelling and commitment were outstanding. The Narrator and cast pulled us straight into Joseph’s journey from start to finish, with every moment shining. ⭐🎭

Huge love to our amazing Dance Academy pupils and friends who lit up the stage — you made us so proud. 💚💜

Rest up — you were all “a walking work of art.” 🌟

So , what do you think our music is?

What costume?
How should it be styled?

I await your thoughts.

Sending the biggest “Break a Leg!” to our friends at Limelight Productions as they open Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Alhambra, Dunfermline.

We cannot wait for Saturday night — the cheers will be loud for the whole cast, and especially for our brilliant TDA dancers and extended TDA family bringing their magic to the stage.

Have an incredible show week — we know it’ll be “full of dreams that come true.”

⭐ A WHOLE CLASS OF STARS!🌟

Welcoming a new dancer with literally open arms! ❤️
They made her feel welcome, included and part of the team straight away.

But most of all… they have all been making such a huge effort with their listening and concentration in class.

And the result?

They are dancing even more fabulously, feeling confident in what they are doing and really starting to embrace show work ! ✨

So proud of you all.
What a lovely little team of stars! 🌟

YESSSS

Try. Miss. Try again. Repeat! 💚

One pick-up… then two in a row!

Keep practising and one day, that beautiful, clear double sound just happens.

A little help from the barre or our amazing dance assistants, and you’re never dancing alone.

Next challenge? The single pick-up hop!

Trickier? Absolutely. But that feeling when you finally nail it - pure dance joy.

** Try, and try again! **

Miss one pick-up? Keep going! Before you know it, you’ll get two in a row. Then, one day, every time you try, you’ll hear that lovely, clear double sound.

Need a little extra support? The barre is there, or one of our dance assistants will always be ready to lend a hand.

And then… we move on to the single pick-up hop!

Trickier? Absolutely. But so satisfying when you get it.

Fast forward to the present… and we’re handing out the SHOW LETTERS for 2027! 😱

The quickest dance year EVER!

Please get these incredibly important letters back ASAP… to allow real work to start .

(Choreography, that’s a joy to create. )

Costumes 😮
Hundreds and hundreds of sequins, Lycra and chiffon. ✨

October break is only 3 weeks away and, as always, my notebook is at the ready with lots of ideas flowing.

The 2027 show work has truly begun💚

TDA — you ready?

💚 HAPPY NEW WATER BOTTLE DAY! 💚

Cute? ✔️
Personalised? ✔️
Never mix up your bottle again? ✔️

Showtime… never lose your bottle!
Studio… if you leave it behind (which happens A LOT 😂), at least your teachers will know exactly who it belongs to!

Your name, your hair colour, your bottle. 🥰

What’s not to love? 💚✨
