I mean, that's a bizarre question, really... I started typing thinking it was a cute play on words, but the more I thought about it, the stranger it got... so I've stopped thinking about it LOL Anyway I just really wanted to write a Christmas post. For those of us in countries with a Christian heritage it's the main celebration of the year even thought most are no longer devout, and it's a great time to get together with loved ones and share food and fun. Tomorrow I am seeing my parents and sisters, as I sometimes do, and kids will open presents, and there will be a yummy lunch all together. I'm excited to see my family, but it wasn't always so. We've been closer since my Mum fought her way through what should have been a terminal illness, and it's changed many dynamics in the family. So these days I'm glad to see everyone. I hope that you, wherever you are, and whatever your situation, have a good day tomorrow, and find joy, in what you do with your day! I am really grateful for my students who come to weekly classes right here, and I'm happy that we have many new members. I'd love to hear from you guys, and welcome you into classes in 2026. Please, let me know how I can help you!

What classes do you want, in 2026? There are lots of new members - Hello you guys! It's so nice to have you! And I would like to help as many of you into a class that's going to help YOU, as I can. (And don't forget those sparkly gifts, if you're a new enrolee you get "How to Get Serious About Ballet" AND a one-on-one with me before you start! So cast your vote in this thread! You can vote for as many classes as you would actually enrol in. I'll use the results to decide what classes to schedule in 2026. - "Step Two" - Grades 1&2 - RAD Grade 3 - RAD Grade 4 - RAD Grade 5 - Intermediate Foundation - Intermediate - Advanced Foundation - Advanced 1 - Advanced 2

Enrol in a class BEFORE JANUARY and you will also get these great bonuses! This is a Holiday Season special! will not come back in the new year. Not until some undetermined point TBH.

Welcome! You've landed in the Alchemy Ballet Academy! This space is for YOU to get what you need. Ballet is an athletic storytelling art. Our bodies are our tools, and training healthily is vital. We are still artists. There's a fine line between classical virtuosity and self-satisfied tricks; we uphold the belief that art should be foremost. ✅Bring your art here; let's see it, and celebrate it! We are dancers and teachers, all of us learning. Nobody has 'arrived', we can all learn from each other, but experience should be respected and listened to. Scientifically-backed technical training is sometimes new and contrary to the traditional methods, let's explore the new ways so that we can all be safer and healthier. ✅Ask your questions! 💡Bring the new developments here! We value and respect diversity while acknowledging the historically-rooted problems inherent in the art and trying to pave a way forwards. A place where PEOPLE are valued. There is no room here for bitchiness or poor behaviour of any sort. ✅Whoever you are, you deserve to dance. We are here to support and help you! 🌟🌟🌟 If you're new here, WELCOME! 👏 We'd love to get to know you! Pick a question to answer, for your first post in our great new community: ➡️ If you could dance any role, which would you choose? ➡️ Which ballet storyline would you change, and how? ➡️ Which ballet character do you really dislike, and why? ➡️ What style of classical dance is your favourite? We'd love to see a pic, or vid, of you dancing, or your choreography!

@Lucy Graham Floor Barre is up. @Lucy Graham and @Caroline Ojok Will it bother either of you if Grade 5 is half an hour later tomorrow, I realised that due to picking up my partner from a medical procedure, I may have to delay the class (as with Grade 4). So it would be 5.30 local time instead of 5pm. Can you let me know if this is a problem for either of you? Also Caroline I'm adding you to all 3 course classrooms now.
