I’m Katia @katiaschwartz . Some of you may have seen me around the studio, others have been taught or photographed by me over the years. Nevertheless, I am the owner and founder of Sky Sirens. I’m not a big company, it’s just lil ol’ me with an amazing team and some big responsibilities. I believe that life is not linear. We experience cycles that allow us to reflect, reinvent and rebirth ourselves. ⁠ ⁠ I’d like to preface the following contains reference to mental health challenges. ⁠ ⁠ When we look at our life as a series of cycles, and not a series of linear pathways - we are able to exist more optimistically. There are no wrong paths because our life is a journey with many opportunities of reinvention. With coming to the end of one cycle, we can feel hope and promise that we are moving into a new one.⁠ ⁠ Someone special told me something very interesting recently. It was that life revolves around seven year cycles. Upon looking into this further, I read that there are many belief systems that surround this theory.⁠ ⁠ I’ve always loved the number seven because it occurs in nature, culture, religion and art. There are seven wonders of the ancient world, seven phases of the moon, seven deadly sins, seven days of the week and it takes the human body seven years to replenish old cells. In April of 2023, Sky Sirens will turn seven. ⁠ ⁠ When I look back to seven years ago to when I opened Sky Sirens - I was barely an adult and so naïve. If I had a crystal ball, and looked into the future of 2023 - I would have never believed our achievements. ⁠ ⁠ Sky Sirens expanded to a second level of our Crown Street building only two years after opening. This allowed the business the opportunity to double in size. We went from a small team of six, to our current team of forty during our seven year journey. Starting with only sixty-something students, we now have a student data base of over two thousand. ⁠ ⁠ Continued in Comments...⁠ ⁠ [Image: The first slide pictures a close up image of Katia by @ahsatankilleen with the Sky Sirens logo and "The last dance" written in pink. All slides have a pink background with text. The text is copied into this caption and in the comments.]⁠

Join @suzylafosse in Term Two for her ‘Suzy’s Sweethearts’ performance troupe. Students will learn how to choreograph an act to music inspired by the golden age of Hollywood and Broadway Showgirls. Suzy will set the theme and the song (it’ll be Cabaret chair dance from the movie Burlesque!), and will guide the class through the process of act creation as a group ensemble. You will learn to create a routine to be performed in a professional show at the end of the course. Quick - limited spaces! [Reel: Suzy has a petite body and pale skin and wears a black lingerie piece with fringing and sparkles. She has short curly hair and bangs, and wears pinup makeup. She is dancing in short clips against a pink flamingo backdrop with a red vintage chair and top hat as props.]
