WE DID IT!!

It was the most magical evening putting on our latest show DÉJÀ VU. We laughed, we cried and we had the best time performing together on stage.

Thankyou to everyone involved in putting on this incredible production. To the cast of Junction K, you’re the most talented hardworking group of dancers. That standing ovation was for you!!

VERY excited to announce that this summer I will be rehearsing and featuring as a dancer in @totallygagalive! I will be performing on select dates before October and am so so grateful for the opportunity to get back on stage. I’m even going to be performing in my childhood theatre back home on the Isle of Wight 🥺

Can’t wait for this exciting journey to begin. Thankyou @happybeingtory for bringing me on board, let’s do this 💪🏼🥰 by @jakekernot

Competition Finals ✅

We are so excited to share the official video of our @cyd_uk senior finals routine. A few weeks ago we competed in the Super Convention National final in Liverpool and what a weekend we had!

Our journey competing this year has been more than any of us could have imagined and we can’t wait to do it all again in 2026!

Please enjoy watching our routine ‘Soldiers of the Sand’.

We did it 🥺

Last night me and my team at @junctionk_ put on our first ever show. After just a year together it’s crazy to believe we were able to pull this off. The talent on that stage was mind blowing and I am so unbelievably proud of every single one of my dancers. Thankyou to the incredible @bstaton1 and @reaganelizabethmuir for your stunning vocals and to @wokingdancespace for performing your beautiful routines. Another Thankyou to @pixelpalacefilms for recording the show, we cannot wait to see the footage!

If you’d asked me last September what Junction K was going to achieve in its first year, there is no way I would have ever been able to guess the opportunities and experiences we have been lucky enough to have. What was a small idea has turned into something quite special and I couldn’t be happier I took that jump and created this company.

@willcandelent Thankyou for absolutely everything this year. We would not be the company we are without you and your hard work. Your videography and talent blows me away and people can’t stop talking about how incredible your videos were during the show! Thankyou 🧡

My Junction K members - @cleokitch @jess_smith2907 @_chloeemilyshepherd_ @bethanycobbold @sashalouise.b @nia_hannon @michelle.h_.x @laurenmgrainger @ginasayerss @hollie_bloomfield - You are the most incredible bunch of people and all I can say is thankyou! I love you all 💚

To everyone else who has supported our journey, friends, family and to everyone who watched our show last night. THANKYOU! We couldn’t do it without your support! We are heading into a second year with 25 dancers and an exciting year of new adventures! I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

My heart is so full 🥺💚 taken in Camberley Theatre by @jakekernot

FINAL AMOUNT REVEAL:

So we may nearly be at the end of February, but I wanted to take a minute to reflect on what an incredible year 2024 was. As you all know I set myself and my family the challenge of raising £10,000 in memory of my dad who suddenly passed away in 2014.

We hosted and took part in a wide range of events which so many of you took part in. We have had over 200 donations on our Just Giving page and hundreds of you donated in person at our events.

Incredibly, we achieved our target of £10,000 in October and from then on we just aimed for as high of a total as possible.

I can now reveal that the final amount raised in 2024 (including my aunties skydive) is £13,657. WOW! Me and family will never have the words to express our gratitude, that amount of money is out of this world and we truly cannot thankyou enough.

I really hope you enjoyed whatever events you took part in last year and to bring this little chapter to a close I have put together a highlights video of everything we did last year.

Thankyou again and enjoy the video 🙏🏼

Dad, we did this all for you. We love you so incredibly much and you are in our hearts always ❤️

Love Jake, Karen, Amy, Josh and family x
