Why I enjoyed the festival:

Sussex festival will always hold a special place in my heart. It was there that I had my first taste of performing on a stage. I danced my very first solo ‘The sleeping Princess’ at the age of 4 at the Dome Theatre and Jacqueline Storey was my teacher. It’s a moment I still remember to this day. I competed at the festival for 13 wonderful years and in that time made some incredible friends that still remain close to this day. I have particular fond memories of the ‘Gardner Arts Centre’ and being surrounded by such inspirational and kind women; Elizabeth Hodgson, Rosemary Warner, Jacqueline Storey, Carolyn Ashdown and Pam. I feel I gained so much, confidence, experience and have taken skills that have benefitted my career. Wonderful memories of dancing with my friends on stage will last me a lifetime.

I now get pleasure from watching pupils and my own daughter competing and dancing on stage knowing that they too will take this experience and use it throughout their lives in whichever path they decide to go down. Teaching the children that success is good but failure is better, don’t be afraid to fail it is a part of your road to success, and it’s not the winning but the taking part that counts.
