Shut Up & Listen with Isla

Isla comes to our Kids Course on Tuesday’s with Hannah (although they’re currently paused because of Omicron). We asked Isla if she’d be interested in being interviewed for our Shut Up & Listen feature, because we thought she’d have some interesting thoughts to share. And that, she does.

Read on for some Isla-wisdom.

My name is Isla. That’s what everyone calls me too, except my mum who calls me Pop 🤷‍♀️

I’m happiest when I’m playing on the monkey bars! 🐒 I love learning new tricks on them and play on them most lunchtimes at school.

Dance is important to me because I get to move my body, have fun, and listen to music all at the same time. I can also use all my energy up doing it.

If I was a colour I would be rainbow 🌈 because I love ALL of the colours!

Something that has changed since my first Shut Up & Dance class is that I’ve learned some new dance moves 😍

I really like to read and do artworks, especially painting 🎨

If I could be anyone else I’d be Superwoman because she’s my favourite character, she is kind and strong.

If you could make everyone on the planet smile, I would… give them lollies and do their favourite things for them 🙂

My favourite animal is a unicorn 🦄 because they have super powers and they can do rainbow poops! 🌈💩 If I had to choose a real animal it would be horse 🐴 because they are fun to ride and ponies are cute

The most important thing life has taught me so far is I love my friends and my family

My coolest moment this week was when I did a flip on the monkey bars 😏

If I could eat anything right now it would be lollies 🍭 (I love them, can you tell???)

When I grow up I want to run a cafe. I also want to be a mum, then my mum can be a nana too 💛

If I could have a special superpower I would have wings to fly. 

The world would be a better place with unicorns and fairies in it! If we can’t have that, then it would be better if everyone was kinder to each other 😎

The routine I want to learn the most is a routine that goes to Justin Beiber, he’s my favourite 👏

If I was a cake I would be a rainbow raspberry and chocolate chip cake, with sprinkles!!! 🍓🍫✨

Thanks Isla – you rock! 🙌
