This week I'm joined by our very own Kirsty Ingram! 🤎

Kirsty has built an incredible career in the performing arts industry, and I'm so excited to share her experiences with you!

We chat about everything from audition preparation and getting into ArtsEd, to what life at performing arts college was really like, the challenges, the lessons learnt and what happens when you graduate and step out into the professional world.

Kirsty shares her experiences of performing in West End shows, working alongside Diversity in pantomime and what life is really like working in the industry today.

We also talk about what she wishes she'd known when she was younger, her biggest takeaways so far and the advice she'd give to aspiring performers.

Whether you're a young dancer dreaming of performing professionally, a parent supporting your child's journey or simply love hearing about life behind the scenes, there's something in this episode for you!

So proud to have Kirsty as part of our Studio Seventeen family! 🤎

Enjoy the episode! 🎙️

This week I'm joined by the lovely Becky McKee, one of our adult dancers at Studio Seventeen!

We chat about Becky's career, her daughter heading off to college, growing up, boys, relationships and all those decisions we make along the way. 😂

Becky also opens up about one of her biggest regrets: not continuing with dance as a career, and what she would tell her younger self now.

I honestly think this is such a good listen for our teenage dancers, especially those thinking about their futures, dance college and the choices ahead of them.

And because it's us, I obviously forgot to ask an important question, so we've added that in afterwards! 😂

We finish with a little snippet from our adult dance class, because sometimes you just need to hear the fun for yourself!

A lovely, honest conversation about dance, life, regrets and remembering that it's never too late to do something you love.

Enjoy! 🤎

Ever wondered what it really takes to make it in the professional dance industry? ✨

This week on the Studio Seventeen Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Elise Clinton, a professional dancer who has worked alongside some of the biggest names in music, including 50 Cent, Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams!

Elise takes us behind the scenes of the dance industry, sharing her experiences of auditions, what casting directors are really looking for and her top tips for standing out in such a competitive industry.

We chat about what life on tour actually looks like, the hard work that goes on behind the scenes and the dedication, resilience and passion it takes to build a career doing something you love.

From audition nerves to performing on some of the biggest stages, Elise shares some brilliant advice and honest insights into the realities of being a professional dancer.

Whether you’re an aspiring dancer, a parent supporting your child’s dreams or just curious about what really happens behind the scenes, there’s so much to take away from this conversation!

⚠️ Little disclaimer! 😂

This episode is completely unedited! Just the two of us sitting down, having a good old chat, sharing stories and probably going off on a few tangents!

There may be the occasional “frickin” and “arse” thrown in too, so apologies in advance!

Just real conversations, plenty of laughs and me in all my unedited madness! 😂🤎
