Can someone let us know if Annie is actually ok though? 🤔

GORGEOUS evening full of tech, craziness, silliness, pizza, convertibles, and most importantly FUN with these 3 legends, what a wonderful time we had, no pressure, just a room full of laughter and hard work. They grafted their butts off all day so had to hop on the MJ trends obvi 🤪🪄

Thank you to The Yard for the most gorgeous space!!! 🤍🖤

ONE YEAR OF PROGRESS.

With full transparency (and Drew’s permission), when Porter first came to me she had beautiful flexibility through her own hard work, but limited understanding of her body, alignment, and technical foundations.

Over the past year, we have grafted — consistently, daily, and with intention — to build the dancer you see today. I often share her highlights and polished moments, but rarely the progression behind them. The truth is, nothing you see has happened by chance. It has been built through discipline, repetition, resilience, and a commitment to improving every single day.

P, you are a dream student and assistant. You absorb every correction, drill, and exercise like a true athlete. You arrive at each session stronger and more self-aware than the one before. You commit fully, you execute precisely, and you constantly strive for growth. That mindset is what creates long-term excellence.

You are magic, kiddo. 🪄

As a teacher, I am always evaluating, refining, and questioning whether my methods are delivering the highest standard. I am constantly developing new ideas and looking for ways to elevate my work. A few weeks ago I told Drew I was going to create an entirely new drill manual, and her response was simple: “Why change what works?”

Creating this video was emotional. I’ve experienced moments of self-doubt recently, but watching this progression has reminded me why I do what I do. It has filled me with pride — not just in Porter — but in the process, the consistency, and in TSM itself. 🤍🖤

Thank you @ellitestudios for helping our girl believe in herself again 🖤 taken in Edinburgh, Scotland by @thesmartmethod

The Smart Method💫

Just couldn’t wait to get some snippets of the best day pulled together 🥰

Some of our girls worked hard in some privates, picking up targeted drills to achieve their big goals ✨🫶🏼

Followed by the best classes with Haydn where we absolutely worked our socks off but had the MOST fun doing it!
Thanks to all the other local dancers who came along to join us today - you were a credit to your teachers!✨

Until next time🤍🖤 by @thesmartmethod

3RD IN THE WORLD 🤯

My side eye Sally, my absolute dreamy stargirl. The most humble hardworking little soul who expects nothing and deserves everything. Finding the words to describe just how immensely proud I am of you is impossible. You were utterly perfect on that stage, and I could not have asked for anything more. This was more than just a solo on a stage to us all, this was P’s first time in a year stepping out onto a stage all by her tiny self after the craziest year of growth in every aspect. It hasn’t been an easy year by any means, but I wouldn’t change a single second of it. ✨

@nataliemeachinchoreography @ellitestudios the love and support you show Porter is second to none, she truly has found the best home to grow and develop as her weird and wonderful self, thank you will never be enough for all that you do for our girl. 🤍

P Scott, you are the force to be reckoned with my girl, from a girl who was terrified of going backwards 6 months ago, to delivering the tumbles you did on that stage this week. Never forget the magic that you are.

MY STARGIRL IS 11 😭🥺

To the little girl who makes me a better coach every day. The girl who loves to learn everything and anything she can, who lights up a room as soon as she steps in. The girl who gives everything she possibly can in everything she does, the little girl who is one of my favourite humans on planet earth, who lives, breathes and represents everything I do at TSM. P Scott, you are a force to be reckoned with always, and you make me so incredibly proud every single day. From training like a true athlete daily, to killing bugs, to impromptu maths lessons, pep talks, word association games, blasting 1985 on repeat, I wouldn’t change a second of this journey we’re on kiddo. Thank you for trusting me fully, your loyalty for such a tiny human is unmatched my girl, I can’t wait to see what chapter 11 has in store…

Always on your team, always in your corner, always your number 1 fan. 🖤

Happy Birthday my Stargirl Sally ⭐️🪄 taken in Marbella, Spain by @thesmartmethod
