Week 3

Hi Everyone and Thank you again for your support!!!
Week 3...wow as you all saw made me so emotional....so very proud of Ray!!!Its just really rewarding when you see the hard work we have done paid off.
From years of experience as a dance coach I can say that it is really not easy to skate to such slow and romantic piece of music when you are only 20yo but he was just briliant!It was not easy at the begining of the week at all but we did work really hard with no day off and the results were great.
Next week is a challenging with so much content in our new routine.Keep your fingers crossed for us!
Much Love xx

Week 4

Thank you all for the lovely messages!
Week 4 was really challenging for us.We were so excited to skate to MJ.To be honest its not easy to skate to this kind of music on the ice and be able to do the exact MJ moves for 3 days.Ray tried his best and I am so very proud of him.The routine was packed with very difficult rotational and reverse rotational lifts that require great timing between the partners and I had to put a lot of trust in him but he was brilliant!There were a lot of nerves at the last rehearsals before the show but we did the best we can on the night.
Very sad to see Mel and Fred against each other on the skate off. They are my best mates.Well the show must go on...
Very fun routine for the next week so fingers crossed there will be less nerves this time!
Much love xxx

Week 5

Hi All,
Another fantastic week!
I must admit that I loved everything about it:the music,the choreo,costumes hair make up!It was so enjoyable!To be honest this routine came really fast together.It took a lot of practice and hard work but felt like we can do it over and over again and not get bored with it.
I am so proud of Ray,he is just amazing dancer and improving his skating skills so fast.We do have brilliant working relationships.
80's next week...a lot to practice as there are some very difficult skating elements and lifts in the new routine. Fingers crossed...
Thank you Everyone for your wishes and support!It helps a lot!
Much Love xxx

Week 6

WOW! What an amazing sunday show we had! Perfect score...something we did not expect at all and can not even describe how wonderful and rewarding this is!!! After we performed and got to seat on the seats we both could not stop shaking for a while ,it was such an adrenalin rush.
I absolutely adore Ray.It is pure joy to work and perform with him.
Ok roll on week 7,all I can say is the new routine is a 100 miles an hour!Extremely fast. Combination of very hard dance and skating elements.So wish us good luck.
Thank you everyone so much!
Lots of love
