One of those London nights when we were taken back to 2003 - when i was doing a dance class with Ronnie at the same studio in Old street as before, Ending up with bagels in the same post clubbing haunt when i was a student, and then running for the last tube home! Thanks for the memories, both past and present, Ronnie! Xx

Everyone knows that kids will work their socks off for a badge to pin on their blazer - parents are no different! Thank you, for hosting an awards ceremony for us and making us feel so valued, and thank you for THE BADGE which i will wear with pride! But seriously, thank you for incubating SwingState, supporting our dance school and always giving us the creative space to thrive. Xx
