So I have this Hobby, I used to juggle many but now its come down to just one. I've wanted to do this for a while now as I know many people Blog/Vlog about Fitness and Lifestyle through Gym workouts and routines but for me I like to balance this out with Dancing!
oh yes dance!!
I spent the first weekend of March in Birmingham where my dance group and I were performing with two well known artists. To cut a long story short I started dancing at a stage school and then joined a group on the side whilst still attending the school.
I always loved watching dance but never had the confidence to pursue it myself till I started performing arts. I quickly became addicted, it felt natural to be dancing as I had waited so long for the confidence to put my thoughts into action!
Now I dance with my closest friends once a week and we have all grown and developed enormously in a short space of time, I have been with this amazing team for only 2 years but have been dancing properly for about 8 years. Our dance style is femme, commercial, street and fierce!! haha.
The opportunities and experiences I have had with this group of inspiring women are some of the best times. So I'm excited to take you all on this journey which will involve-
- Prepping for a performance
- Video shoots and how I prep my meals (Free From)
- Stretching!
- Juggling Gym sessions around dance
- Confidence in yourself and training hard!
- Dance/Rehearsal outfits

We had the opportunity to perform at the Birmingham Arena at the Brit Asia world music awards on the 4th March. We were backing dancers for Rameet Sandhu plus the feature on her new song Curtis Young.
It took allot of time and prep to make sure this 5 minute routine looked perfect and let me tell you the nerves before the big day was real!
The week before the show I was shaking like a leaf I was so scared to dance in front of so many people plus knowing its being filmed.
I cut down on gym sessions the week before as it was important for me to stretch stretch stretch plus fit in rehearsal times most nights that week.
Heres some of the snacks I took with me for the trip -
- Snack a Jacks Salt and Vinegar flavour
- Waitrose Natures store free from chocolate orange rice cakes
- Tesco's free from pot noodle thai curry
- Ham and Goats cheese sandwich
- Tesco's NEW free from cheese flavoured Nachos (delicious)
- Waitrose lazy day dark chocolate tiffin (my favourite)
I love my snacks!
So now you know my hobby! From here on I'll keep updating the blog with some dance outfits, fitness updates etc as this is a big part of my life and fitness plan.
I hope you enjoyed this glimpse of my journey x
