Less Than 24 Hours till were back in the US!

WOW!!Time has flown but we are so unbelievably grateful for every opportunity we have been given out here in London. Before we start packing we want to list the last important notes that we've had here.

Willesden Green (where we live) You have been good to us, thanks for keeping us safe. 

TUBE Stations here in London we don't look forward to going back to NY you have put a high standard on what trains could look like if people actually cared and cleaned them. 

Thanksgiving- We were able to share it with an amazing US family here in London and that was a great experience in itself.

Next Stop: BOSTON for a few days to visit family...

Then: New York till January 30th.( Cant wait to have OUR dancing back)

Stay tuned for ATL, Miami, LA, and of course AFRICA!!!

We thank you all for your love and continuous support. This experience has already changed us as people just imagine how inspired were going to be in 6 months. Who knows maybe well dye our hair blue and green! :) Change is good!

We would like to put everyone on BLAST who we have truly appreciated while being here and hope someday those of you reading this blog may consider coming down and trying out the London Dance Programme!
(Find our testimonial on Youtube or on our Facebook pages)


Megan Preston- Thank you for being a wonderful leader, for being there for each of us, for guiding us through our journey, and most importantly for being on top of things. Because of you this program was extremely affective. We look forward to watching it grow all the way in the US.

Cindy Claes- You have made an impact on our dancehall lives. We are going to continue to strive and move forward in helping spread dancehall the way it should be. Thank you for giving us opportunity and your energy! Until Jamaica. :)

Tarek Khwiss- We feel like you are part of the family. Thank you for you're knowledge, words of encouragement, and for just being there. We look forward to hearing ALL about your success and seeing you sooner than later.

Marta Gomez- Theres Samantha, Lucia and well you fill the 3rd person missing slot. It has been a pleasure meeting you and we look forward to having your crazy self in our lives forever. We cant wait to grow with you in this dance industry and you ALWAYS have our love and support no matter how far away.

Petra, Leyla, Sophie, Gosia- Without you girls this program would've never felt like a family. Thank you for inspiring both of us in different ways and for being open and honest. This isn't good bye this is just the beginning for each of us.

Farouk- Thank You for having DANCECAST an amazing online website dancers can use for auditions and booking work that pays, and of course for our fun Saturday nights. Meeting new people and dancing the night away with those who share the love for dance just like us was an awesome experience. 

To all of the teachers we took class with, Thank You, you have impacted us greatly and inspired us to grow and be better.


Until next time London!

18 Days Left Here in London!

We have spent the last  65 days, 1,140 hours, 93,600 minutes, 5,616,000 seconds stuck together at the hip and its crazy to say we only have 18 days left to rack up those numbers!!

New Friends/ Family!
We came here not knowing any one and within the last few weeks we have made some life long program friends Marta, Leyla, Tarek, Megan, Petra, and Gosia. These people have become a new addition to our family and we are so thankful to be a part of the London Dance Programme.

Training!
We have been training our A**es off and look forward to bringing back the new dancers we have become!

First London Performance
We rocked the stage with a Dancehall routine choreographed by the lovely Cindy Claes & Andrea Queens and had the pleasure of dancing along side some amazing divas at the PHD event here in London!

Jessie J at the O2 Arena
All we can say about this concert is AMAZING! We've never seen a concert where the main performer doesn't have any back up dancers. Not only was she motivational, inspirational, and beautiful to listen to but she rocked the stage all by herself! We would definitely recommend seeing her concert if she comes to the states!

Samanthas Bday!
Samantha's birthday was a blast we attended her favorite happy hour spot, The Roadhouse, and lets just say she had a good time. We also went to a beautiful club right in Central London called Cafe De Paris and attended the Dancersdodrinks event and danced the night away. Definitely a birthday that will be remembered for ever.

Thanksgiving
We wont be home for Thanksgiving, however, we are going to spend the holiday with a bunch of Americans that live in London :) Looking forward to a good time and we are both thankful for our families, friends, opportunities, healthy living, and YOU!

Christmas
We thought we put up Xmas lights early in the States.... NO way!!! London has already had 3 lighting ceremonies and there "Macys"= Selfridges  is all decked out and ready to go for the holiday season! We aren't complaining; they're so pretty to look at.

Whats Next?
As dancers and humans we are slowly starting to find our niche and our main focus on where we want to go from here in the dance industry. We have learned so much and can only continue to take in more knowledge. Its fun to learn about yourself and what you may have thought you wanted in life but once you sit down and plan it all out you realize it may actually be something else in the same field that you're attracted to but have never noticed it. With that said we thank everyone for reading the blog and continuously supporting us!

We look forward to being back home  in 18 days and in NY before we take off for our state tour to Miami, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Then of course AFRICA in May!
