Street & Freestyle Scholarships Birmingham

Freestyle and Street scholarships and the Freestyle seminar on May 11th and 12th. What an absolutely fantastic weekend.

To have 10 candidates, 11 nominated in total competing in across all categories of the day just goes to show how talented our dancers are at Fusion Dance Academies.

Stacey and I are so proud of each and everyone of you. It was a very tough day filled with so much talent and our crew held their own. 

Massive congratulations to all students, Emily McGuinnity (who made it through to semi finals of street class 😎 Jess Hetherington, Jess Soul, Maizy Baber, Jacob Russell, Danell Purdue, Lily Walker, Rachel Karlsson, Annabelle LePrince (who made it to semi finals in street class A), Holly Sheridan and Zofia Stepien. 

You all did amazing and we throughly enjoyed watching you all. The day was fab with great choreography provided  by Anna McCarthy and her demonstrator Josh aswell as Elliot Plate’s fantastic work as always. Truly inspiring work.

The next day was the seminar which was so lovely to see so many students and principals from all over.

It was an honour to be asked to lecture again and I thoroughly enjoyed teaching regardless of the 100 degree heat. All the students were fantastic.

It was a great fun weekend so thank you to the freestyle faculty for providing everyone with the opportunity to learn and running the scholarships. Xx

Freestyle Qualifiers Guildford 5th May 2024

Our Fusion Dance Academies madness filled May was a brand new

Freestyle team attending the IDTA SE Freestyle Competition.

Stacey and Sam took a team of 10 RN and fusion dancers to compete in solos, pairs, duos, team and rock n roll and although an eye opener for them in contrast to the street, they all went out fearless and held their own in an extremely hard competition.

Team XLR8 successfully placed first, alongside

Danell Purdue placing 4th in fast, 3rd in slow, 3rd in pairs with Jess Hetherington and 4th in rock n roll.

Kiki Quirk qualified in both fast and slow.

Emily McGuinnity qualified in slow, pairs with Maizy Baber and rock n roll with Danell.

Jess Soul and Megan Searle qualified for pairs.

Well done to all other team members… Tilly Whyman, Bella Kingshott, Zofia Stepien and Rachel Karlsson. 

Blood, sweat and tears but an awful lot of fun and laughter training for it to what is now a dance weekend trip to Blackpool in November.

A massive well done to the whole team for smashing the results and although a scary experience at first you all became more and more confident and we just loved watching you all together.

Love to you all. Xxx

Street Nationwide Comp Stoke 23rd March 2024

Finally a chance to catch my breath and say how immensely proud Stacey and I are of each and every student who competed at the street nationwide last Sunday.

The competition was a high standard with many a tough round and each of you held your own.

It was a wonderful day with many trophies being bought back for yourselves and the team.

Thank you to nationwide for hosting a great event, to the parents, friends and family who come and support endlessly, to the teachers and students for constant help and motivation and help with choreography as always and to the students whose dedication and commitment really paid off.
