July at DWS

A note from Subarna

July felt a little different

Hi everyone — after the excitement of launching the DWS Community Platform in June, July became a month to breathe, pause, celebrate and enjoy life a little.

It was a proper summer month here in the UK — beautiful sunny days, school holidays, Wimbledon, football, family time, birthdays, holidays, late evenings, relaxed routines and yes… quite a few cheat days too.

Both my birthday and my husband’s birthday are in July, so we gave ourselves permission to slow down, cut ourselves some slack, enjoy time with family and take a much-needed break from the usual day job and dance platform routine.

Staying active is not only about pushing every day. It is also about knowing when to rest, reset and come back with fresh energy.

What I am learning

Consistency does not always mean doing everything perfectly

Sometimes consistency means showing up fully. Sometimes it means doing one workout instead of five. Sometimes it means taking the break properly — enjoying the sunshine, eating the dessert, spending time with family — and then coming back with a recharged soul.

That is where we are now. Rested. Grateful. Slightly guilty about the cheat days. But very ready to move again.

Bhaba’s journey is a lovely reminder that staying active does not have to be perfect or complicated. It is about showing up, moving when you can, and building a rhythm that works for you.

Thank you, Bhaba, for being part of the DWS community and for inspiring others to keep moving. Keep dancing. Keep smiling. Keep going.

Looking ahead

August will be more active at DWS

More reasons to stay consistent with your movement — here is what is coming:

• More live classes
• More class replays
• More dance workouts
• More fitness content

The DWS Community Platform is still very much in its early journey, but the direction is becoming clearer each month. It is not just about uploading videos. It is about creating a space where we can dance, sweat, smile, stay active, take breaks when needed, and come back again without guilt.

Thank you for being part of this new chapter

Whether you joined a live class, watched a replay, followed a workout, stayed connected through WhatsApp, or simply cheered us on from the side — it all means a lot.

Here’s to a recharged August — more music, more movement, more consistency, more DWS.

With love, Subarna
