Looking back on a great start to 2026
~last champs of champs
~demonstrating at move it 2026 with @howlyballet

So grateful for my training and opportunities @pickering.academy.dance and @project.resurgence @howlyballet @resurgence_kay as I wouldn’t have achieved or experienced the things I have done without you 🤍🩵🖤

As you all know I absolutely hate legs being thrown with no control, completely reliant on mobility instead of strength.

The classic whack lacks any kind of control as you’ll notice the upper body moving towards the working leg, which signifies use of the joints instead of major muscle activation.

In the correct version @imogenhilton_ is controlling the movement through developpé into position by correctly placing the body over the supporting leg and allowing the major muscles to deliver the leg into position.

If you lose control and the body loses integrity by thrusting towards the working leg, practice the basic movements separately and stop placing emphasis on height over correct placement.

Hold your legs, don’t throw them!

I would just like to thank my incredible demonstrators for today’s advanced ballet class @moveitshow

Apologies for poor filming as I was flip flopping with Move It official videographer and lost my bearings 😂

Stand up and take a bow @matilda.dance4 @imogenhilton_ & @dancertillie_x who are all associates @project.resurgence

Without your energy, technique, passion & commitment it would have just been a sweaty old bald man jumping & turning round the Excel Arena. Grandad Style 💥💥💥

I would also like to thank your families for bringing you all the way to london and back for a 45 minute ballet class. 😂🙏

The class was so much fun and very, very warm! I could not have done it without these incredible students who are just simply joyous to work with and so very good at what they do!

Thank you ladies ❤️

In the next 12 months my plans are to change the landscape of professional pas de deux training by not only making it accessible for the students of @project.resurgence but also to change how it’s delivered.

Hence my commitment to using pas de deux training as part of many ballet classes this year to train stronger more co rodent dancers who can both act as partner and dancer.

I’ve got some big announcements coming up but until then I thought you’d all enjoy a little glimpse of my 1-1 session with @imogenhilton_

It’s the first time I’ve ever used pas de deux for a private lesson, but hence to say after such a successful session, it won’t be the last.

Bravo Imogen 👏👏👏👏

So good to be back at our Sunday Associate Programmes @project.resurgence and I loved working on this mid-allegro with our senior students.

I want energy, precision, technique and commitment through those elevated steps and we spent a great deal of time breaking each component down to its basic foundation.

I know I’m probably being repetitive but I absolutely love my Sundays as I get to work with so many gifted, focused and hard working pupils.

The standard this year is just going up and up as all of those fundamentals that have been implemented are now starting to pay off 💥

Everybody always assumes that a penché is based on flexibility and being able to get your leg very high???

Whilst of course mobility and range of movement are important the upper and lower body strength far out weigh simple flexibility.

Most dancers who can do the splits cannot perform penché correctly as they do not have the necessary lower and upper body muscles that control this movement.

There’s no quick fix to this as it’s not a kick and must be developed slowly and correctly over time.

The answer will not and never will be found in over stretching!

It’s a very Merry Xmas from our students on the Monday Masters programme @project.resurgence

It’s been a whole month of Christmas Ballet Classes with every programme receiving their own individual festive lesson.

These 3 ladies rocked the choreo to one of my favourite Xmas tracks 🎄🎅❤️
