BSDDUBLIN

January 2010 is  when we  first walked through the Back Street doors, I was greeted by a kind Blonde lady who went down on her hunkers and asked my little girls what is your name, She replied  Abbie!!

And how old are you Abbie 2.. I was quick to reply 2 and a Half!!  To which she laughed and told me she might need to see a passport(wink wink)

She introduced herself as Tina.  She took Abbie by the hand and brought her to her first Funky Babies class …she bounced out of that class with a huge smile on her face and sticker on her hand….see you next week she told all.

This was the start of her BSD journey ….to which we never looked back.

 

Over the years we have made some amazing friends, Abbie in class and me sitting in the Funky Café (back in the day ) while the  kids danced.

We didn’t just join a dance school we joined a dance family.

 

BSD has always been about the Kids, from management to the amazing dance teachers. The work that goes into getting our kids the best space , routines, the best choreographers, putting on the best shows but most important  it has provided them with a safe place. A safe place where the kids are taught to support and encourage each other and get to be themselves.

 

Thank you BSD and roll on September when they kids can get back to their safe/Happy place.

I started going to the open workshops in backstreet and taking Adams class and the adult classes on the Monday evenings this year. The studio is so welcoming and enjoyable. Everyone is there for the same reason and a passion for dance. I honestly couldn’t believe the support between the kids especially for new people coming into the class. So welcoming and fun! Can’t wait till it’s open again!

My words:
BSD is my happy place. I can be myself. Nobody judges you for who you are because we are all a team. When I go to dance all my bad emotions leave my body and I feel free. It was one of the best decisions of my life to join BSD.
