On Monday 14th September I graduated from @royalacademyofdance with a Distinction in the Professional Dancer’s Graduate Teaching Diploma alongside my wonderfully talented and inspiring cohort.

It’s because of this diploma that I am where I am now, working @elmhurstballetschool which was my goal when I first moved to Birmingham 4 years ago.
This achievement, alongside attaining a Distinction in the PDGTD whilst working full time and single parenthood to a child with additional needs was by no means easy but was worth each and every late night study, every pre-dawn essay writing session, endless schemes of work, research and 7-day working weeks for almost a year . . .
I am proud to set an example of determination, perseverance and self-belief to my daughter, my students and anyone else who’s still chasing their dreams in adulthood!👩🏼‍🎓🩰🥂

It felt particularly poignant to have been awarded this qualification with my former @royalballetschool classmate @alexander_campbell1 in the position of Artistic Director of the RAD ❤️

Moments from our recent Intensive Study Period at the Royal Academy of Dance 🤍🩰💫
Not only a wonderful learning experience but also a gift to meet and work alongside such amazing and inspirational peers whom I’m now lucky enough to call friends!
It was a breath of fresh air to feel like we were back at ‘ballet school’ for 2 weeks and I can honestly say, I’ve not laughed like that or felt more like myself in a long time 😂
Loved every moment learning from the highly experienced and knowledgeable faculty and have taken away so many incredible memories 🙏🏻
Plus, a GREAT surprise bumping into @joshtuifua who I’ve not seen since backstage days at the Royal Opera House! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

🩰🌟Andalucia Ballet Retreat 🩰🌟
We went out with a bang!
~

This was our final ballet retreat at this most stunning of venues in Cazalla de la Sierra and it was filled with everything (and more) I could’ve wished for. So many amazing people coming together to dance, to grow, to laugh, to relax, to eat and drink and enjoy the Spanish sun (when it eventually came out 😂) . . .
Thank you for all your amazing energy. This is a retreat I’ll never forget!
We are actively looking for a new venue in Spain for 2026 onwards to continue this incredible retreat which I’ve worked so hard to create over the years.
Stay tuned!
Gracias por los recuerdos increíbles 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 #andaluciaballetretreat #karisscarlette

This photo is 10 years old this month 👀
I was 26. It was part of a campaign I shot when I started my first business, which means I’ve been an entrepreneur and a company owner for a decade!
That flew by . . .
And, in just 2.5 months time I will launch another 🙌🏼
The cycle returns and continues, this time with renewed focus and much more wisdom! What a journey 🤍
