“The main lessons I've learnt at BRIT are a lot deeper than actual dance. I have learnt foundations of other styles and to explore your field as much as you can to gain the most experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first 7 months and can't wait to discover more. What I've found the best is the attitude of teachers;  they genuinely are providing all that we came here for and pushing us beyond.”
