Slight change to my usual posts but still completely relevant to my blog! I posted a while ago a post called When The Nerves Kick In which was all related to my dance exams at the time and how nerves can affect my dancing.

Last week was a bit of a blur it went so fast so at least Instagram can give me an idea of what my week consisted of other than work! Haha!

The Christmas break from dancing may only be a few weeks, but it always feels like alot longer!
