⭐️Backstage at BBC’s So Awkward Academy Filming 🤩
Ok, I know I’m going on about it now! But it was honestly so exciting and so much fun!!! I think these photos really capture the enjoyment we had filming and working with the cast on the show. Also our ‘lovely’ outfits!!! I actually love dressing up so I wasn’t bothered but i know the attire wouldn’t be top choice for the kids! lol
Not only did our dancers and staff have an amazing experience where we learnt so much but we were all paid for featuring in the show and for my choreographic input. What an awesome summer job to have!
Thanks to everyone for your encouragement and well wishes on this. It means a lot to have so many people have my back & celebrate our success 😊 #backstage #bbc #soawkwardcbbc #soawkward #soawkwardacademy #tv #tvchoreographer #tvstar #filming #tvrole #cbbc #cleodemetriou #tvseries

Here’s our best bits from BBC’s So Awkward Academy!
Did you spot our teachers? What was your favourite bit of the show?

⭐️OUR DANCERS ARE ON TV ⭐️. I’m so excited to announce that the new season of So Awkward Academy is available from today on BBC iPlayer! The show features Dancers from Sylk Dance Academy along with our friends @tgastdance who took part in 3 days of filming to be in the episode ‘Dirty Country Dancing.’ It was an incredible opportunity for the dancers and also me as I was hired to choreograph & also double for one of the cast members. We got to experience what filming for a T.V show was really like (it’s lots of hours and re-takes!) and we were incredibly lucky to meet so many wonderful people who were so supportive and not to mention inspirational. @samcforth was incredible in the show so please check him out on instagram too :)
Make sure you catch the whole show as it’s a real gem! See which faces you can spot from Sylk Dance Academy and which of our teachers dance moves or legs you can find too!! 😂. Thanks for the opportunity @jason_wingard & everyone who believed in me to make this episode a success 💜
I’m so proud of myself for believing that I could make this project successful and for pushing out of my comfort zone to try something new. I have never choreographed anything in a folk style before or done any TV work but I was so privileged to have the opportunity come my way that I knew I had to make the most of it! 💖

Thanks to @iconicstreetdancecompetitions for another amazing comp. Great judges, DJ, staff & fellow competitors. Thanks to @fiercedancestudios and @0161dancecompany for bringing the fire 🔥 today and making our dancers work hard and continue to be inspired. Comps are all about growth and to have other friendly dance schools to compete against makes the experience much more worthwhile. We didn’t break the record on our last amazing results but it was close! 3 2nd places for teams and 30 placements overall. Im so proud of every single dancer and grateful for being able to watch so many of you blossom today and achieve your personal best 💜. #iconicdancecomp #competition #streetdancecomp #streetdancer #streetdancecompetition #winners #number1 #manchesterdancers #manchesterdance #hiphop #freestyle #dancebattle #advanceddancer
