Newquay Tretherrus 2011

For a second time we were invited back to newquay tertherrus school to teach during their annual activities week :) and well all I can say is WOW! What an incredible week, all of the students and staff were a true credit to themselves and their school! It was so nice for us to work locally as we are always away and we couldn’t have asked for a better week to spend in Cornwall! On behalf of all of flava I just want to say a huge well done and thankyou to the extremely talented students that worked sooooo hard all of that week to produce a show that we never would have thought would have turned out so amazingly in such a short amount of time! But also an even bigger thank you goes to the outstandingly dedicated teachers and staff members that made it happen!

Well done everyone we LOVED every minute :)

Flava Launch In Dagenham


Barking and Dagenham Safer Transport Team officers took part in a new anti bullying and youth crime programme that is about to tour junior schools on the borough.

Britains got talent semi-finalists FLAVA invited teachers and pupils to a ‘taster’ workshop at Dagenham and Redbridge Football Club on Thursday 3rd March 2011.

The workshops are dance based. Pupils learn a simple routine that encourages them to work in unison while exploring anti-social behaviour, gang violence, bullying and knife crime.

The three hour sessions will be run in Junior Schools throughout the borough.

PC Lisa Rao who helped organise the event said: “Through dance, the children experience what it feels like to be both victims and aggressors and then compile a story of how they can change poor attitudes and behaviour.  We were delighted to take part in this inspiring programme.”

Do anyone of you guys reading this have any ideas of what i can call my all new blog….. I think it will be fun for us lot, and you guys, as we can rummage through old pics and videos so we can all have a little giggle (for example when my hair was long, white and massive hehe!)

hey guys! well, we’ve just got in from an amazing gig launching the brand new Audi A1 in Truro! (way down in cornwall) and i just had to let you all know how fun it was!

we were looked after sooo well by all the staff there! (thanks if your reading this hehe) We performed an all new piece for the event created just for that event, it included loads of styles including, breaking, hip hop, hip hop lyrical, street, ballet and contemporary. Lucky enough we had two EXTRA dancers and performers on stage with us, this included Sophie Walke (ballet and contemporary genius and performing master hehe! who we all love and have known for years through ‘the big dance company’) and the breath taking Edy Brattu (an incredible, inspiring break dancer and gymnast who i hope i have spelt his name correctly! hehe!) the piece went really well for all of us and we got some awesome feed back from the audience, who gasped as the curtain fell to the floor at the end of out performance to reveal two AMAZING  Audi A1′s driving toward them!

Also, along side us tonight we had the company and support from Fiona and Becci…. who im sure you guys know… Beccis our manager and Fi (you know kyles mum). Our ever creative and inspiring friends!!!

any way just wanted to let you lot know it went well…… Watch out on facebook and on here for a video of our performance from tonight!
