As many of you know, one of our amazing dance mums, Tina, and student Faith has very sadly lost their dad/grandad🤍

Faith and Tina are such a valued and loved part of our dance family, and we wanted to show them how much love and support surrounds them during this incredibly difficult time.

Today we held a special fundraiser in aid of the British Heart Foundation. Our students came dressed in ‘Pompey Blue’ his favourite colour, creating a beautiful sea of blue in his honour 💙

We’re so proud to share that together we raised an incredible £103.40 for the British Heart Foundation!

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and took part. Your kindness and support truly mean the world 👏🏼💙 British Heart Foundation
