Hi ladies. Apologies for not writing for SUCH a long time. As you may be aware, Showgirls has expanded, and we’re now teaching classes at the following venues:
Inspirations, Didcot
The Fitness Company, Bicester
The Ozone, Oxford
Club Energise, Swindon
TwoTone, Witney
We had a Taster Day in Swindon on Saturday 27th and one in Oxford on Sunday 28th, and they were both REALLY busy. Thanks to Bella and Alex Nye for their help – couldn’t do it without you!
Obviously, all these extra classes and venues has meant that our Instructors in Training have really had to up their game, and they’ve been amazing! Bella (Sharon Auckland), Emma Wixey, Cezz Taylor and Iszy Smitham are already teaching regular classes, and next Tuesday Angela Vaughan and Jemma Carman will take their very first class over at Oxford!! Congratulations to all the Instructors in Training, I’m really proud of the effort and commitment you’ve put in so far. Still a way to go though….
Other than the hectic madness of all this wonderful new stuff, I’ve also been trying to sort out new outfits, as I know lots of you are waiting for them. I promise they should be delivered within the next 4 weeks, bar any disasters. Will keep you up to date.
I’ve also been rehearsing hard for my very first competition in July. I’m REALLY nervous, but it’s now or never!! I’ll post a rehearsal video online at some point and ask for your (honest!) feedback.
NIGHT OUT
1st April – be there or be square! We’re taking a couple of poles to the Oak in Didcot, and ALL venues are invited. It would be amazing to see girls from the new venues meet up with the Didcot ladies – it’s all about pole love!! Bring your boyfriends/husbands/families/friends – it’s an open house and will be a great night out. See you then!!
Ta ta for now.

Happy (late!) New Year!!!
Well, here we are, we’re already almost 3 weeks into the New Year, and things are finally getting back to normal. I don’t know about you, but I’m well over the snow!
Because of the weather conditions, lots of classes were cancelled early in the year, so for lots of you, last week was your first ‘proper’ week back. I don’t know about you guys, but the first few practice sessions I had after Christmas made me think I was going to have to give up the pole dancing and try crochet or knitting! Or that perhaps I had left my biceps in Disneyland!!! Don’t worry, I can assure you that your strength and technique will come flying back after just a few sessions, and then we can all really get our teeth into new moves, dance routines and polishing up what we already know.
As most of you will know, I very sadly had to postpone the Karen Chaundy workshop that was planned for 30th January. I totally appreciate that people just didn’t have the cash so soon after Christmas, so we’re going to set a new date in May – so get saving!!! It really would be good if as many of you as possible could get booked on, and by May, even the new starters will be able to take part confidently.
We’ve also put together new warm up and cool down routines, WITH NEW MUSIC!! I, for one, was getting a little weary of the warm up music LOL! Some of you have already had a go at these, and the general feedback has been really good.
For those of you who have ordered clothing, I am hoping to get this sorted during the following week or so, and will be collecting payment over the next fortnight. If you have ordered clothing, please can you bring cash for me either this week or next week, then I can get things ordered asap. If you are thinking of ordering a pole, please let me know asap too, as we are placing a pole order in the next couple of weeks.
Keep checking in on the blog, I will be trying to update it regularly now that we’re all ‘back to normal’!
