Right, so, I really am rubbish at posting things on social media, so the very least I can do is post a belated congratulatory post for my students at Da Mill, before the new year starts bringing with it a fresh swath of exam photos to be ignored for half a year. @BADC_UK #BADC

Taught a bit of unarmed choreography to my Level 4s on my last day b4 Xmas. They've really thrown themselves into the physicality of the hits; cannot wait to see how this develops in the build up to their exam! #MissingKnap #Learning @BADC_UK #BADC #FightDirector #Stunty #Leeds
