Break Dance Class with AJ

Hey, lovely peeps!

Safe to say, this was a massive success, and the kids enjoyed themselves in the club. Even though we had a few warnings for kids who may have trouble being in the same room.

There are a few things we need to iron out before the next class.

1. Bikes! The downstairs hall is a fire escape, and we can’t keep the bikes or pushchairs there. I can figure out a space inside, but there are stairs. Alternatively, we can all lock them together, I have a couple of spare locks. Trust me, it’s easier for me to let them be in, but if we have an inspection, that’d be the end.

2. Kids can only go upstairs when one of the TRA members says it is okay to do so. You would see me, or there are Tom, Giovanni, Paula, Siobhan or Verity who might be there to support in case I’m at work.

3. The class is larger than we anticipated, and I know many of you want to see your pride and joy practicing. However, not all kids are comfortable being watched or filmed. Also, I would like to have AJ as the authority and not me being the mean girl in the room telling people off. Remember, we are trialing and I am already preparing the proposal post half-term.

4. Please, if possible, come on time at 3:50 so you can lock the bike, use the facilities and not interrupt the class. Any issues, late etc., you have my number.

5. Please let me know if you want a Breaking WhatsApp group. I live on WhatsApp with so many groups but I can manage one more. If we create one, it will be to share information about the next class, any changes, or if you want to share any exciting events. But please, let’s keep chatting with each other to our other relevant groups on the mumvine.

6. Could I please ask if your child is in the pictures? I will forward them now. I will use it for a blog post for Brandon TRA, but AJ might also want to use it for social. I need written consent, or I will blur your child’s face.

7. Last but definitely not least, how did your little ones feel about the class?

P. S. If you know someone who attended but wouldn’t have my number and this hasn’t reached them (Walnut tree folk), please forward and ask them to save my number!

Happy Breaking!
