Good morning to you!
Make the most of the sunshine today as it looks a little showery for a few days - I suppose it's good for my pots though. Although I've just invested in a watering can and would rather use that.
Anyway Emma, there is much more important things to talk about!
Firstly.....Sophie Vickery the star that she is, has been nominated for "Best Fitness Instructor" on the Surrey Muddy Stiletto Muddy Stilettos Surrey awards! This is absolutely brilliant and fully deserved as I know how much hard work she puts in to the studio. We need you to vote for her now pretty please!! Please vote by clicking the link below and when prompted, please vote for Sophie @ First Dance Studios. Thank you!! I'd love her to win this as I'm sure we all would. Can we all get dressed up and have an awards ceremony???

How exciting!
More exciting news - remember it's our Cocktail night tomorrow night on Zoom and everyone's invited! I'm going to Julia's house with an overnight bag (!) and will be helping her run the cocktail workshop (!) It's to celebrate the June challenge in the Creative Club and free to Creative Clubs members and just £4 / online card session to non-members. We will be making and drinking two cocktails. If I don't think they taste quite right, I shall be making them again.....

The Muddy Stilettos Awards 2021
surrey.muddystilettos.co.uk
Support your favourite local businesses in the Muddy Stilettos Awards - your nomination could make all the difference. Good morning.
It's another beautiful day, slightly cooler than yesterday (handy for dancing tonight) and then tomorrow is a corker of 27 degrees. The "R" word is coming in Thursday but we won't dwell on that yet.
It's Musical Theatre day today with Vicky's fabulous Musical Theatre, followed by Theatre Jazz and Show Tap. The news last night will have been a huge blow to theatres again so let's keep our "Show Must Go On" mantra going.
Yes, so it looks like another 4 weeks of keeping the 2m distancing between us all at the studio so class numbers will continued to be capped until mid-July. Make sure you book in on Mindbody to bag your box!
Here are the details for today;

Today is the day to take your garden photos (Nature Photography Day) and thinking about the power of smiling. Ok. Tomorrow is National Fudge Day. I always think of you Michelle S with fudge!
Have a lovely day everyone. ... See MoreSee Less

NEWSFLASH - here is the date for your diary this week to celebrate the June Creative Club challenge of DRINK! It is open to everyone even if you're not in the Summer Creative Club. (There is still time to join by the way if you fancy it.)
THURSDAY 17TH JUNE 8PM COCKTAIL NIGHT ON ZOOM
(My Zoom details 834-764-5420 and password 032621)
Ex-cocktail bar owner Julia Platia (did you know that?!) will take you through a mini cocktail Masterclass. She'll cover mixology techniques, the art of balancing a drink and will make two cocktails with you to play along with if you wish. Non alcoholic versions will also be available.
If you would like to join in, here is what you will need;
* Plenty of ice
* Plastic food bag
* A lemon or lime
* 100g sugar in a jug
* Boiling water to hand
* Clear spirit vodka or gin
* Apple juice
* 2 fresh fruit of your choice; watermelon, mango, strawberry, raspberries, passion fruit etc. Frozen fruit is fine too.
* Something to make your drink in if you don't have a cocktail shaker - a drinks flask or even a leak-free plastic container.
* Something to strain the drink - a tea strainer, small sieve etc
* Small rolling pin or something similar
I am going to be at Julia's house on Thursday night and I am going to be her drunken assistant!! I can't wait!
Get the family involved (obviously if they are under 18 haha) and let's all have a lovely drinky together.
It is free for Creative Club members and £4/one session off the Online Cards for all non-members.
Hope to see you Thursday! X ... See MoreSee Less

Good morning everyone. We have a lovely day ahead of us in the studio and it's a lovely warm one.
I absolutely love dancing in the heat - it really feels like you've had a good workout. Don't worry, the windows will be wide open today in the studio and do remember your water bottle and white magnums. Ok maybe not the magnums, you can have one at home afterwards.
Other news - thanks to the brilliant Lorraine Ansell, we now have a YouTube channel! Lorraine has put together a little video from her recordings this weekend, have a little look at it - it will make you want to dance! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbKs4kDk27Q

I didn't give you much forward notice on the National Day today, but don't worry as you just need to run yourself a bath (International Bath Day) and pour yourself a bourbon. I have bourbon biscuits but not the alcoholic version. I don't like crumbs in the bath though. Tomorrow is National Smile Power Day and Nature Photography Day. The weather looks great again so that will make us smile and those that are doing the Creative Challenges, maybe tomorrow is the day to take the garden photos!
Have a lovely sunny day, a lovely week and let's keep smiling and dancing no matter what Boris says later on. ... See MoreSee Less

With the rose muzzy head tomorrow, you'd better get weeding as it's National Weed Your Garden Day. It's also National Sewing Machine Day. I'd rather weed my garden any day than try and work out a sewing machine.
Have a lovely sunny Saturday. ... See MoreSee Less
