After a short break, we’re finally back behind the mic 🎙️. Life threw us something unexpected as we navigated the loss of a loved one, and taking time away was something we truly needed 🤍.

In this episode, we open up about that experience and what it’s like to return to dance after a setback — emotionally, mentally, and physically. Whether you’ve taken time off due to grief, injury, or just life getting in the way, this conversation is for you 💭.

We’re talking resilience, rebuilding confidence, and finding your way back to what you love — one step at a time 💃✨

In this episode, Michelle and Laura sit down with the incredible Cheeks Carr, owner and founder of Manchester’s leading dance studio, 0161 Studio. 💃

Cheeks shares her inspiring journey from being a passionate dancer to building a thriving studio and community — one that’s empowering young dancers and changing the game in Manchester’s dance scene. We dive into her transition from performer to business owner, hear her advice for aspiring dancers, and learn how she’s creating a movement bigger than dance itself.

✨ Cheeks is currently fundraising to take 17 dancers to LA for the experience of a lifetime — you can support their dream here: https://gofund.me/82f96c76c
