    EP 10: How To Keep Your Child Motivated In Dance

    We all know motivation isn’t always constant… especially when it comes to dance 😅 In this episode of Dance Talks, Michelle and Laura dive into one of the biggest challenges for dance parents — how to keep your child motivated, even when their enthusiasm dips. We’re sharing practical tips on what really helps build long-term motivation (and what might actually be doing the opposite 👀). From creating positive routines to knowing when to push and when to step back, we cover it all. Plus, we talk honestly about those moments when motivation disappears completely — and how to support your child through it without adding pressure 💭 If you’ve ever heard “I don’t feel like going to dance today”… this episode is for you 🤍✨

    Ep 9: Things Dance Teachers Wish They Could Say Out Loud

    Ever wondered what goes on inside a dance teacher’s head during class? 👀 In this episode of Dance Talks, Michelle and Laura get a little tongue-in-cheek as they spill the (very honest) internal monologue of a dance teacher 🎙️ From “I can see you at the back” to “Can you just remember the routine” 😅 — we’re saying all the things teachers are thinking but don’t always say out loud to pupils and parents. It’s light-hearted, relatable, and full of those “OMG that is so true” moments 🤣 Whether you’re a dancer, a parent, or a teacher yourself, this episode will have you laughing… and maybe seeing dance class from a whole new perspective 👯‍♀️✨

    Ep 8 : Why Activities Matter During SATs, GCSEs & A'Levels

    SATs, GCSEs, A-Levels… it’s that time where everything starts to feel a little overwhelming 😅 In this episode of Dance Talks, we’re diving into a topic so many dancers (and parents!) struggle with — whether to pause extracurricular activities during exam season. We’re talking about why keeping up with dance (and other activities) can actually help, not hinder, academic performance. From stress relief and routine to mental wellbeing and balance, we break down why stepping away from what you love might not be the answer 💭 If you’re feeling the pressure to “drop everything and revise,” this episode is your reminder that balance is powerful — and that dance might just be the thing that keeps you grounded 🩰💫

    Ep 07: We're Back

    After a short break, we’re finally back behind the mic 🎙️. Life threw us something unexpected as we navigated the loss of a loved one, and taking time away was something we truly needed 🤍. In this episode, we open up about that experience and what it’s like to return to dance after a setback — emotionally, mentally, and physically. Whether you’ve taken time off due to grief, injury, or just life getting in the way, this conversation is for you 💭. We’re talking resilience, rebuilding confidence, and finding your way back to what you love — one step at a time 💃✨
