All is FAB!!

The end of another week, and boy it has been a busy one! Not that I am complaining, in fact, its quite the opposite. I had the opportunity to cover 3 shifts over the weekend which i enjoyed immensely, no matter how much i pole dance i can never get tired of it. 

I also had my regular classes on Wednesday for the UPPDC, the classes were just 1 or 2 from fully booked. This was great to get the club members together and practice the basic techniques we did last term and improve on them. This coming week we will be doing dance sequences which i know some of the girls are really excited about.

Valentines day was nice but rubbish for me, i came down with aches and pains all over my body and just felt like sleeping. The romantic meal and massage i had planned for my man had to be cancelled and he ended up cooking for me!
My boyfriend did take me out for a delicious sushi dinner at Yukisan on Friday night, but i still wasn't feeling great so we came home and watched a movie together.

But i would say the best day this week was Saturday, i awoke feeling 100%, we went surfing at Fistral beach for the afternoon, finished with an asian curry in the Red Lion (ample food!) then drove back to Plymouth so that i could teach a class of 2 lovely ladies by 7pm. When i arrived home my boyfriend was waiting and acting all suspicious. I tried to ignore his weirdness and jumped in the shower. When i got out, he led me to the front room where i had a glass of red wine waiting, a quilt on the floor with a long pillow, grapes and chocolates! I must of had the biggest smile on my face when he told me to lay down and proceeded to massage me for almost 2 hours. It was amazing, he's no pro but tried his hardest and it felt great :-) He is definitely my keeper!! 

Now its Sunday evening and i just want to settle infront of the T.V with my man and relax, I will be on Reception Wednesday evening after i have taught my UPPDC classes. And i think thats it for this week.

I will be teaching another Sexy Dance Master Class on the 1st March at 1pm, and on February 29th will be attending the Art of Dance Social for my birthday party!! So excited as i hope all of you will be there to show off your talents and to have a great time.

Till next time, take care and keep smiling xxx

What a fantastic weekend its been at the Art of Dance!

Firstly i got to see Sam finishing off teaching a hen party on Saturday, they wanted her to perform for them, so she pulled out her stunts, and yet again, i am in awe! Sam is so strong she would put wrestlers to shame!

Then i was my turn to teach, i did an hour of sexy dances and stances then had to do a little show also. I was so nervous after showing "what should be done" , but i think i made my way through it ok. I really must perform more often infront of the instructors so then i wouldn't be so scared. Its crazy when in fact i used to dance infront of a whole dance club back in my podium days, now i get worried if its just 15 people!

I then joined the rest of the staff on Sunday for a photo-shoot with Chris Trent, he is very professional, i was very impressed with his pictures and can't wait to see us all in frames lining the studio :-)

This week i am on reception Wednesday night after i have taught the UPPDC class, then on Sunday i am teaching 2 classes which i am very excited about.

I have to go now and make my man his tea, he is grumbling!
Thanks for reading and i hope to see you soon xxx

So its now Wednesday evening and i have danced for 3 hours straight today, i can tell you that i am aching in places i had forgotten about!

The Saturday Sexy Dance class went really well, which i am very pleased about. I also covered Sam in her 7.30pm class on Tuesday which was also good fun. Its so great to be part of the Art of Dance as there are such lovely students who are also very committed.  

University is starting to get hectic again, even though I'm enjoying the pressure of all the work i have to do, like an exciting (NOT) chemistry exam next Friday and two 1500 word essays due in two weeks. Its all fun learning and great experience for time management.

It is coming up to the UPPDC elections at the end of this month, i am going for chair again, so if you are a member of the UPPDC, vote for me!! Check out my page at  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12897140934, 
there is also a link on that page for the UPPDC facebook site.

I will be doing a photo shoot on Sunday for the Art of Dance so that should be fun, i just have to make sure my bruises from today have gone!

Thats it from me for today, till the next time, take care and keep smiling through these very windy and grey days xx

New Classes

First of all, Congratulations to Sam for your studio kicking off to a fantastic start this year, and to Jo becoming the assistant manager. These are both great news and I'm so happy for both of you xx
I'm really looking forward to Saturday, this will be my first official Sexy Dance class with the art of dance. Its exciting to know its just one person from fully booked when i looked last night which is awesome, its going to be so much fun!

I am currently doing reception duties for Sam a couple of nights a week so you may see me smiling at you behind the desk when you walk in. It been really great meeting all the students i don't normally see, I'm hoping to see more of you all through the year when i start teaching pole dance and sexy dance classes.

Also the UPPDC classes have now changed from Wednesday and Thursday at 5pm to Wednesday at 3.45pm and 5pm. This is great news for the members as many of them start work at 5pm or just after so now they can make a lesson :-)

The elections for the UPPDC will be coming up again soon, i will be putting myself forward for a second year as Chair person. There are many roles available so UPPDC members keep your eyes peeled if you want to be come part of the committee. 

Thats all from me today, I'm off to do my Chemistry exam, wish me luck! xxx

Christmas Time!!

Now the university has finished for the holidays, its time to get into the Christmas spirit. Lots of food and drink and even more good times are on their way. I'm really looking forward to spending heaps of time chilling out with friends and family, also getting some uni notes sorted ready for next term. I'm also really looking forward to catching up with the art of dance girls and helping to move Sam into her new premises.
It looks like the New Year is holding lots of great things to get excited about and i can't wait to get stuck in!
Have a great Christmas everyone,
