Base Dance Company

Hear me out on this one… ❤️

We hear words like welcoming, inclusive, supportive, confidence and belonging a lot when we talk about children’s activities and I completely agree with all of them.

They matter. MASSIVELY .

However, I’ve been thinking about this lately and personally, I don’t think those things should be what makes a children’s activity stand out.

I think they should be the starting point.

As a parent myself, I’d expect my child to be welcomed, included, safe and supported wherever I chose to send them.

So for me, the question is… what do we offer beyond that?

At BDC, I want dancers to progress. I want them to be challenged as well as encouraged. I want them to learn proper foundations, understand the styles they’re learning and have teachers who recognise when they’re capable of more.

I want them to have opportunities, experiences and memories they’ll take with them long after they’ve left the studio.

And along the way? Absolutely, I want them to make friends, laugh, build confidence and feel like they belong here. ❤️

But I’ll always believe that part should come as standard.

We don’t just want children to attend BDC. We want them to grow here.

Obsession for Progression. 🖤

How’s everyone’s summer going? ☀️💛

I’ve been a little quieter on here over the holidays but I’ve definitely not been sitting still! 😅

I’ve managed to have some lovely time with the kids, whilst behind the scenes I’ve been giving BDC a bit of a summer reset… sorting, organising, a little painting, planning for the new dance year and finally creating myself a proper little office space! 🙌😂

There’s still plenty to do (is there ever not?! 😂), but I’m definitely getting excited to have the studios full of dancers, music and the usual BDC chaos again! ❤️ We’ve also got some lovely new faces joining us in September who I can’t wait to welcome. 🥰

But enough about me… what’s been the highlight of your summer so far? ☀️

And parents… how are we surviving? 😂 Still loving the holidays or quietly counting down to September? 🙋‍♀️😂

What a fantastic way to finish our Summer School 2026! ☀️

Our final day was all about fun at our very own carnival festival! From Hook a Duck, Splat the Rat, Coconut Shy (definitely a firm favourite! 🥥), Ring Toss, Sweet Pong and glitter stations…to delicious hot dogs, laughs, games and so much more. There was something for everyone to enjoy!

We finished the day with lots of water fun, plenty of smiles and the perfect way to round off an amazing week. 💦💛

Thank you to everyone who came along and made this week’s Summer School so special. We’ve loved seeing the children make new friends, have fun, try new things and make lots of memories along the way.

A big thank you to our team for all their hard work throughout the week and to all the parents for all your support.

We’ll be sharing lots more photos and a highlights reel over the next few days, but for now… thank you for another brilliant Summer School! ❤️

🎪 Summer Camp – Day 2 🎪

What another fantastic day we’ve had! ☀️

The children enjoyed more games, crafts and dancing…but today’s highlight had to be our special visit from Whacky Will! 🤹‍♂️ They were treated to an amazing circus skills demonstration before having a go themselves at activities including juggling, diabolo and even walking the tightrope!

One of the best parts of the day was watching the children encourage one another. It was wonderful to see them working together, cheering each other on and celebrating each other’s achievements as they tried new skills. 💛

We are so proud of how they’ve embraced every challenge with smiles, determination and lots of laughter. We can’t wait to see what Day 3 has in store! ✨

🎪 The countdown is over… Circus Summer School starts TOMORROW! 🤩

We’ve been busy behind the scenes getting everything ready and we honestly can’t wait to welcome everyone through the doors.

From trying on our clown costumes 🤡 to putting the finishing touches to all the activities, the excitement is definitely building!

Over the next three days we’ll be making memories, learning new skills, getting creative, playing games and having so much fun together. ❤️

Who’s joining us tomorrow? We can’t wait to see all your smiling faces!
