Be U Dance Company

And just like that Lilia has come to the end of her post with us! How has it gone that quickly?! Thank you SO much for bringing the joy and moves for the last few terms, for being super organised and for going above and beyond to make sure BUDC classes run smoothly. We've loved having you on the team and hope you'll be back in the future. 🤗♥️🙌🏻🫶🏻🏅big love and thanks from all of us

What a wonderful bunch of students we have had this year ✨

lots of laughter today during partner work 💚

I love the word PRACTICE

It doesn’t mean to be already good at something, to already be skilled or perfect or without wobbles or imperfection.

Practising is just turning up for yourself and having a go.

The cool part is when students achieve things a bit like this from hours of just having a go!

The most important part of days and events like this isn’t the dance itself or the pretty costumes or the technique of performers.

It’s about the warmth and energy of being together, moving together and celebrating dance together ♥️

The students costumes coming together for this Friday !

You can catch our dancers performing to in Queens Square at around 20:15

They will showcase a dance they have been choreographing and rehearsing the last few weeks to

💙 so excited 💙

Hellooooo Arabesque or Warrior Three (if you are a yogi) - Look at this amazing lines! Go Girls!

This week I have been doing a lot of reflecting and hearing about what movement and dancing means to students 💗

(Dancing has been a part of my life since I was 4 years old. My mum has footage of myself and my younger sister wobberling around the living room in our sparkly dresses)

One of the reasons I started to teach is simply because to me it’s an incredible experience to have a body and to be able to create movement with it.

I wanted to be able to share this joy and help others to realise that having awareness of their body and movement is simply a really cool and unique experience.

What does dancing mean to you ?

When Fleur handed over the maternity pack for the next few months of classes to me (Lilia - Maternity Cover Teacher) what I really noticed was an emphasis on creating a sense of family and community.

She highlighted how BUDC should be a welcoming and friendly place to all.

A place where young people can socialise, belong and feel a part of something special.

We try to do this by creating class rituals, opportunity for dancers to chat and connect, fun games and performance opportunities!

Dancers of the week goes to Cordelia for beautiful technique in class and patience during creative tasks and to Freya for work ethic and fabulous solo! Good Luck this week!

'My jump is not high enough, my turns aren’t perfect, I can’t get my leg behind my ear.’ Please don’t do that. Sometimes there’s an obsession with technique that can kill your best impulses. But communicating with an art form means being vulnerable. Being imperfect. And most of the time this is much more interesting. Trust me.

We're so nearly there with the MUWFEST pics and videos, but for now it's over and out for a week, whilst we both get some much needed rest. Big love all X

I so badly wanted to get these videos from MuwFest22 completed this weekbut I have been defeated by the time lords! From this weekend I will be taking a small break to refresh, recharge switch off and recover from what has honestly been the most intense 18 months of my life. Videos, photos and all the new things happening this year will be made public on my return…Until then my partner in crime Buddy will be around if ya need us! Big love K
