Little dancers learning BIG foundations 🖤

Counting the music, finding the beat and understanding where their steps sit — including that all-important “&” count.

We want our dancers to understand music, not just copy movement. These are the foundations they’ll carry into every style and every stage of their training.

And a little teaching moment for our Ambassador Matilda too. Breaking things down, explaining clearly and keeping our littlest dancers engaged is a skill in itself.

We always say… if you can work with the babies, you can work with anyone! 😂

Building dancers — and future teachers — from the foundations up.

Sometimes an unexpected change of plan gives you a really lovely opportunity. 🖤

I had the chance to step in and teach our U11 Street class tonight and I absolutely loved the energy in the room.

Familiar faces, new recruits and dancers coming along for their very first trial, all learning and dancing together.

As Principal, there’s something particularly special about getting to experience a class firsthand and seeing new dancers walk through our doors, find their feet and feel part of SWDA.

And when dancers come for their first trial, enrol and have their first SWDA T-shirt ordered all in the same evening — that feels pretty special. 🖤

A brilliant little class with such a great energy tonight.

Our first week back is complete 🖤

And as we head towards 10 years of SW DANCE Academy in Harpenden, there’s something really lovely about seeing another new dance year begin.

Some of our dancers have grown up with us. Others walked through the doors for the very first time this week.

We have classes in Harpenden for U8, U11 and 11+ dancers, with Freestyle/Lyrical and Street Dance training available across our Monday timetable.

If your child has been talking about starting dance — or perhaps wants to try a different style — we currently have trial spaces available in selected classes.

No pressure to already be “a dancer”. Come along, meet us and see what SWDA is all about. 🖤

And just like that… we’re back tomorrow!

A new term, new goals, new challenges and lots more memories to make.

We can’t wait to have our studios full again and welcome back our SWDA family — as well as lots of new faces joining us for the first time.

SW DANCE Academy 2026/27 starts tomorrow.

Let’s go. 🖤

Proof that not every training session looks Instagram-ready 😂

Forgotten choreography.
Completely blank minds.
The occasional “what on earth comes next?” moment…

…and plenty of laughing in between.

We share lots of the hard work, progress and beautiful moments, but this is part of training too.

Get it wrong. Laugh about it. Work it out. Go again.

A little look back at some of our Lyrical & Freestyle summer training 🖤

STREET DANCE TUESDAYS HAS A NEW HOME 🖤. Marshalswick • September 2026

From Tuesday 8th September, our Tuesday Street Dance classes will have a new home at Marshalswick Community Centre, St Albans.

As our Street Dance programme continues to grow, we’re really excited to be taking our Tuesday classes into a new space and becoming part of the Marshalswick community.

WELCOME TO SWDA, AMY SAVAGE 🖤

Great teachers don’t just teach dance.

They build confidence.
They nurture potential.
They inspire dancers to believe in themselves.

Alongside her training, Amy has extensive experience within the competition circuit, choreographing solos, duos and group routines across Lyrical, Jazz, Acro and Commercial.

Passionate about developing both confidence and technique, Amy creates a positive and supportive environment where dancers can enjoy their training while being encouraged to reach their potential.

Amy will be leading our Monday Lyrical & Freestyle classes in Harpenden and Saturday Lyrical classes in St Albans from September.

We can’t wait for our dancers to learn, grow and be inspired by everything Amy brings to SWDA.

Please join us in giving Amy a very warm SWDA welcome. 🖤

Commercial. Hip Hop. Grooves. Choreography. Freestyle.

Different influences, different ways to move and plenty of opportunities for our dancers to develop their musicality, confidence, performance and individual style.

And as we look ahead to September, we’re incredibly excited about the team leading our Street Dance programme.

New experiences.
New opportunities to grow.

A little behind the scenes from this morning. 🖤

Today we welcomed Amy Savage to work with some of our Competition Squad.

Dancers learnt new choreography before being challenged to create their own ending through improvisation. Stepping outside their comfort zones, making creative choices and growing in confidence.

We love giving our dancers the opportunity to learn from different industry professionals, bringing fresh ideas and experiences into the studio while continuing to develop beyond their weekly classes.

Every dancer seen. Every class counts.

Real classes. Real coaching. Real growth. 🖤
