Documenting our half term Acro workshop with one thing I noticed was how mature and committed these little juniors were to their craft and each so focused to improve 💪🏼 there were very strong girls in the room - fantastic to see! Thank you all for attending - thank you Jade for your love and reliable expertise for Acro 🫶🏼

Wow wow wow, what a weekend we just had!! I'm in awe of the energy levels the dancers brought, all sharing and showing a true love for dance 🩷 supporting their own team mates but also caring and cheering for other dancers from other schools backstage was beautiful to see 😍

Teachers and families should be so so proud! Dance competitions are not just about dance, they are about having fun, making new friends and everyone coming together, creating a feel good and friendly space. We certainly did that 🫶🏼

Thank you to our wonderful adjudicator who was so warm and encouraging to all dancers from babies to seniors - providing helpful feedback and guidance throughout.

Thank you to my team around me who are so important and help make everything run so smoothly. A lot of time and effort has been spent and I am truly grateful and appreciative!

Hope to see you all again very soon! Keep a look out for workshops and future festivals.... (July 2026 is pretty much full)

Swipe to meet our adjudicator this weekend - Eleanor Bechthold - DDE ISTD

Eleanor began dancing at a young age, winning several championship titles as well as reaching the final 12 of Miss Dance of Great Britain at Sheffield City Hall. At 16, Eleanor attended SLP College in Leeds on a full DADA scholarship where she gained a Trinity Diploma in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre.

Upon graduation, Eleanor went on to work in Theatres and Casinos throughout Europe and Asia. Eleanor was later employed as a dancer for Princess Cruises and worked her way up the ranks to eventually becoming Company Performance Manager. Eleanor appeared in Seasons 1 & 2 of the hit ITV documentary "The Cruise" in her role as Company Performance Manager while onboard the Regal and Royal Princess. During her career, Eleanor has had the privilege of working with some of the world’s leading choreographers and has performed in over 40 major scale production shows.

After a very successful professional performing career, Eleanor made the decision to open her own dance school and in 2017, El Dance Studios was established.
Since opening El Dance Studios, Eleanor has helped students gain places into some of the top schools, universities and associate programmes in the country including The Royal Ballet School, Elmhurst Ballet School, Tring Park, SLP College and Addict Dance to name a few.

Her school has a very successful competition team with her dancers placing at regional and national championships and have recently qualified to represent team England at the 2026 Dance World Cup in Dublin.

Eleanor is a fully qualified ISTD dance teacher holding a level 4 Diploma in Dance Education and Acrobatic Arts Module 1.

She is an experienced and encouraging adjudicator and loves seeing young performers having fun up onstage.
Eleanor has dedicated her life to dance and adores seeing dancers grow and achieve amazing results within this industry.

I am pleased to share an exciting opportunity!

Perform North Talent Agency are a UK-based agency representing children and young people in television, film, theatre, and commercial work. I am delighted to confirm they are coming to Flashdance Events and we will be hosting an audition style workshop on Saturday 1 November!

Behind all my events, I look at ways to provide further opportunities, experiences and ultimately boost the children's confidence levels and expand their knowledge within our world of theatre dance. This workshop style audition day certainly fits that criteria!This is a valuable chance for students to showcase their skills and experience something different but they might also be considered for agency representation, taking a significant step towards working professionally in the performing arts industry.

The auditions are open to all children from junior to senior level with a passion for any of the following:

💃🏻 Dance
🎭 Acting (stage and screen)
🎤 Singing

Perform North are looking for talented individuals who demonstrate commitment, creativity, and potential in ANY of the above disciplines:

Audition details:
Date: Saturday 1 November 2025
Time: Juniors from 2pm / Inters&Senior 4pm
Location: Miners Hall, Garforth, Leeds*
Cost: £15 per dancer

Please note that spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. I anticipate there'll be a high level of interest.This is an exciting opportunity for any young performer interested in pursuing work in the industry under the guidance of a trusted and passionate agency but better still an afternoon set to be fun filled with a laidback vibe - as always nothing too serious!

If you have any further questions or would like to register your interest, please get in touch!

So impressed with the first of our two week summer sessions working on all round improvements to your game! You name it....technique and turn out, balance, core strength and conditioning, flexibility, spotting and turns and one of the most interesting things we did as a group was to start off with a discussion about 'dance wellbeing'. Few questions - Why do we come to dance class? What do we want to achieve? What are the key benefits? Something truly special that came from this was that "life wouldn't be the same without dance" ✨ see you all next week!

What a fantastic day with these - I quote words "superstars"! Thank you Jade for another encouraging and engaging session, it was clear to see they all thoroughly enjoyed this type of workshop! Everyone should be so proud of their ability and conduct today. They all amazed me from the side lines with their ability to mix, gel with new people and have the confidence to attack the work - so fearlessly 👏🏼 I saw today a growth in you all and that's just in one session alone, so keep going because I can only imagine what you'll all be pulling out of the bag in years to come 😮 🔥 thank you for joining us today and parents for their time - have a wonderful summer (upside down) 🤪 ☀️

👀 ✨ EXCITING OPPORTUNITY ✨ 👀 for closer working sessions, guidance and support.

Friday 8th & Friday 15th August (afternoon sessions)

I am offering the opportunity to just 3 more dancers who genuinely want to make improvements, learn (at their individual level) and would like to work more closely with me over a constant two week period.

Within the sessions we will discuss goals, work on strength, flexibility, skills & tricks, correcting techniques, leaps, turns, back to fundamentals of dance. Note books are encouraged to record and affirm the knowledge and tips I will give.

Work doesn't just stop at the 2 x 2 hour sessions, the idea is to stay committed at home, trust the process (and me), proudly log and send me progress and see the results that can be achieved and taken forward after the two weeks!

As part of the action plan, I will devise a specific two week training and conditioning programme for each dancer to take away with them and work on throughout, they will need to keep a progress diary and submit 'check ins' for me to see and comment. Visuals really do help aid progress and give confidence!

The cost is £30 for BOTH sessions (must be available to attend both dates) plus my additional support and guidance throughout.

Who's up for the challenge and has a willingness and WANTS IT?! You'll be surprised at what can be achieved! 💪🏼 💃🏻

I'm very excited about this - please message me to secure your place - first come first serve basis, don't miss out! Please ensure you have your dance teachers permission too ☺️
