Aerial hoop and back to dancing

Nikita Mitchell Professional dancer choreographer and teacher.

Happy new year everyone! I hope you have all started the new year off with a bang! I start off each new year with new resolutions, some of which I never keep, however one I do is that I have to learn something new. This year I have decided to learn Aerial Hoop! It’s also known as Lyra, and involves graceful movements through a hoop suspended above the ground. I had my first lesson earlier this week and it went surprisingly well! I will post a video soon as I can so you can see my progress!

Being back dancing and training this week having had a month off has meant that my body has been in great pain, walking up and down stairs has caused great problems. My advice for anyone also feeling the beginning of term aches, hot baths, lots of water and sleep are key, and just work through it, once you get the muscles moving again they will quickly release!

The Pineapple advert I did for Debenhams is now out (you can watch it here) I always find it funny how things end up getting edited and published, it’s never how you imagine, but I am happy with the results of this one! I hope you all enjoy!

Feel free to follow me on twitter (NikitaMitchell) and tweet me your new years resolutions.

Have a great week!
