Baby news

Just a quick hello from me!

Some good news - Steph has now had a lovely baby boy! Mum and Son are both doing well. And we are all excited to meet the new arrival soon - well done Steph!

We are soon to hold our CAT auditions and last applications are arriving today. I'm excited for the auditions next week and hope to meet our future CAT students!

We are all enjoying having Robin in the office too, and liking his love of crazy dance and his Kate Bush music selection!

Need I say more?

Hello everyone!

This is my first blog ever, how very exciting!


Steph's maternity leave has caused a domino effect in the office as a few seats shift to new positions. This re-giggling results with Kirsten taking on Steph's position as an Assistant Producer and I take on Kirsten's previous role as Administrator.


So...... allow me to me introduce myself. I'm Robin and the new administrator for Dance4. It’s really nice to meet you all. :)


I’m very fortunate to be able to see Dance4 from a newbie’s perspective. Dance4 has a really generous and talented team. I’m not just saying this just because I’m new and wanting to earn bonus points, everyone in the office has been really welcoming and helpful. I’d like to say a massive thanks to everyone in helping me adjust to the Dance4 way in this busy first month.


I’m also a newbie to Nottingham. I commute to Dance4 from Leicester and until recently my only adventures to Nottingham was to see bands play at "the old angel" pub. I now have a few more crucial paths to prime locations sorted, although rather embarrassingly I did find myself drastically lost last week as I ventured out into the unknown. A forty-minute walk down the road turned into a brisk hour and a half track as in successfully managed to loose all map reading skills. I guess it will take a little bit longer for me to get my bearings around town.


Nottingham is great, there always seems to be something exciting on or planned. I’m looking forward to seeing much more of it, ...... so if you see a short guy with floppy hair looking lost around Hockley give me a wave.

Update on Youth Dance!

Hello!

So it's been a while since I last blogged and the reason for that is because there has been lots happening! I am just settling into my new role as Assistant Producer - Youth Dance (covering Steph's Maternity) and hiding in my little corner of the office surrounded in a jungle of plants that overtakes the desk - it's fab!

Last week was one of my busiest, yet best weeks at Dance4. Youth Dance certainly took over as we had a weeks intensive for the CAT students, YDE Stride! and CAT open workshops!

I was blown away by the talents and creativity of young people all week, and it was so rewarding to see all the young people so enthusiastic and energetic about what they were doing. So a fantastic week was had by all - well done everyone!

Of course plenty more to be getting on with, but just before I go we have a new addition to the team - Robin - our new Administrator. Welcome Robin!

Keep you posted soon folks,
