"I love to dance my heart out"
As a male dance teacher, I am passionate about inspiring male dancers and encouraging them to accept the opportunities available to them. Blake has made my job easy and he is an absolute pleasure to work with.
Dancing has provided Blake with much more than a platform to build his fitness. He embraces every opportunity available to him and his dedication to training has positive impacts on his physical and mental health. Blake has a natural flare for dance and creativity which is evident when he expresses himself on the dance floor. Blake's commitment and hard work have resulted in him achieving many titles and podium places at competitions. However, he has gained many more skills through dance including being disciplined, respecting others, remaining humble, and resilience to come back stronger after defeat.
Blake is a happy and loving lad who shares a smile with everyone he meets. He is like a big social butterfly and everyone loves his cheeky chappy character. He uses his charm, humour and kindness to encourage others and has built many lasting friendships through dance.
Blake is an inspiration to other dancers. His caring attitude is evident when he helps others with any difficulties they are facing, including dealing with nerves before competitions, mastering new moves and building confidence with new dancers. It can be difficult for boys to dance as there is still a stigma that it is a girl's sport. However, Blake embraces every aspect of dance, and his resilient attitude makes him a perfect role model to break down any barriers associated with boys in dance. As a result of his positive attitude and commitment to dance, all of Blake's friends and family are fully supportive of his chosen sport and do everything possible to enable him to achieve his full potential.
