Hi dancers! Today I want to show you some of my favourite leotards. Those of you who follow me on Instagram will have seen that last week, I tried on some leotards by Claudia Dean Collections on my stories.

At-Home Audition Photoshoot
Being a dance graduate in the class of 2020 has had some unique challenges. Thanks to COVID-19 having had a huge impact on the dance industry, being a new graduate and trying to get hired as a professional dancer is more difficult than ever. Dance jobs- and ballet jobs in particular- have always been highly competitive. However the pandemic and lockdowns have brought entirely new challenges, such as online dance auditions (remember this time last year, when we’d never heard the phrase “audition via Zoom”?!). That’s why certain parts of our online application, such as the audition photographs, have now become even more important, because we often can’t be seen in-person.

Secret London: The Garden at 120- Photo Gallery
Hi dancers! One of the benefits of having a photographer boyfriend is that my Instagram feed is never short of great professional photos. We really love to collaborate on fun experimental photoshoots- in the past we’ve thrown around paint powder, and glitter, I’ve gotten my pointe shoes out in Notting Hill, and we’ve been kicked…

Photo Gallery: Sense of Space
A few weeks ago, my partner Jake and I headed to the pop-up art installation/ exhibition “Sense of Space”, near Liverpool Street Station. It was really cool and really pretty- of course we took the opportunity to get some photos! If you like these, be sure to check out more of Jake’s work by clicking…
Photo Gallery: Taynuilt
Here is a gallery of photos by the very talented Jake Owens Photography, from when we visited Taynuilt in the West Scottish Highlands during audition season.
Photo Gallery: Glitter!
Following on from the paint powder photoshoot I did with my very talented other half Jake Owens, I had the idea that we could do the same thing with glitter. Next thing we know, half a kilo of different coloured glitter had been ordered online and we had turned our living room into a makeshift…
