The four words Tim would always say to us in class, the four words that have always stayed in my head and now passing onto my own students.

Being 14 years old and having Tim teaching me for a whole year was the most amazing opportunity I've ever had in my dance journey. Every class with him so was positive, covered with sweat and always reminded me why I love to dance. I struck gold being in just one of his classes, let alone a whole year. 

Tim was the light, energy and soul of any room he walked in. Our paths crossed again a few years later when I started teaching and attending his competitions. When we first reconnected we spoke on the phone for well over an hour and I was late for work!I 2 months after having a baby, he phoned me to just tell me that I was doing such an amazing job as a new Mum. He was filled with so much love and kindness.

I'm so fortunate that the dancers I now teach were able to share the same knowledge from the man himself.

My biggest inspiration, my biggest idol.

My heart is aching over your passing, as is the whole of the dance industry. We've lost such a valuable member of the community.

Thank you Tim for absolutely everything you've ever done for me. If I can inspire my students even half as much as you did with me then I'll be eternally grateful.

Your legacy and enthusiasm will forever be apart of us all. I'm so lucky to have known you.

Loads of love, Charlie, Bertie and Rudy xxx
