Yep as in a US Open Showcase Winner and most recently finalist in the USA’s “So You Think You Can Dance”, partnering her cousin Benji Schwimmer who went on to win the series.
Ditch the diplomacy, let’s dance!

I am so gutted I didn't finish work in time for this. I had my bag in the car to go straight there, but we went on til quite late and it's a long drive from Maidstone and would only have made it for about 20mins of freestyle! :tears: :tears:

Ok guys, I'm just back and can report, she was like a little stick of dynamite, small but makes a large impact! :waycool: :clap: :worthy:

The lesson was 'funky' (and I felt old :blush: )she got us all body popping and doing all sorts of body isolations but it was fun, fast moving and extremely motavating! :nice:

She joined in the freestyle after and seemed to enjoy herself too. :na:


And just so those of you who missed tonight don't feel too bad, I can deliver good news, apparently, tonight was the first of a few visits to Twicks over the next 3 months (news will be out as soon as she and Cat have got together with their diary's)


I can't wait till the next one! :yeah:

Sounds like a workshop is on its way too.


It is amazing the speed the likes of Heidi and Cat generate when they dance.


Although he won't read this I have to say well done to Lee for partnering her for the lesson.

Absolutely fabulous, it's so good to be exposed to all these variations in teaching techniques & styles from the worlds best, in dear old Twickers'.
Who would have thought it?
Heidi gave 100% all evening, extremely approachable and helpful with techniques she taught in her class. :respect:
Thanks to Cat' for bringing her in.
Also a highlight, watching Paul Warden work his magic with her, was fantastic she also had a great time, freestyle better than many a prepared demo' dance.
Make the effort to be there its so worth the trip. :clap:
