ABOUT US
At The Blair Academy, we are trailblazers in Healthy, Happy Ageing. Our diverse team boasts an impressive mix of performers, carers and therapists with an inclusive approach. Walthamstow born, Charlie Blair is the Founder of The Blair Academy. Taking inspiration from her own experiences as a dancer, a homeless teenager, and working in care homes, Charlie was drawn to hip hop for its characteristic embracing of individuality. She tested the concept with her Nanny Doreen back in 2018, and it was her who encouraged Charlie to take the sessions to other older people. With her resilience and infection drive - Charlie has gone from a one woman army before the pandemic to a team. She has turned her own traumatic experiences into a venture which has a hugely positive impact - transforming pain into purpose. Our diverse team is committed to creating positive experiences for the people who live and work in care and community settings. We bring high energy to our sessions and enthuse everyone in the room. We bring people together, for a unique experience, tailored to their needs.
