What’s Going On? Posterior Impingement Syndrome
Hi dancers & dance lovers! If you don’t follow me on social media, this will be the first you’ve heard from me in some time. That’s actually because I’ve been out for several months with an injury. Even though that means I’ve technically had more time for writing than I usually would, creating content about…
Review of BalletBoyz Them/Us
Last night I was fortunate enough to attend the BalletBoyz West End debut with the double bill Them/Us at the Vaudeville Theatre. I’d seen and heard a lot about the small company, including some of their programmes on Sky Arts a few years ago, but hadn’t yet had the opportunity to watch them in performance. This…
Finding Inspiration in Unusual Places: Japanese Taiko Drumming & Yamato’s Passion
I’m a big advocate of watching live dance performances as often as possible. As a dance student or dance artist, it’s really important to stay inspired.

The Happiness Planner
As we’re at the start of a brand new year, I thought that this might be an appropriate time to share with you all some of the journals and planners I use to keep me on-track, both in my dance life and in my personal life. It’s at this time of year that some of…
2018
This year has been one of the best and busiest of my life! However I’ve just had so much going on that I haven’t been able to devote as much time as usual to this blog. That’s okay- sometimes life happens, and although sharing my journey is important to me, life is primarily for living!…
Young Royal Opera House
Hi everyone! I hope that you had a great start to the season, or academic year. Between university classes starting back up, fresher’s week, vocational classes, and rehearsals starting for upcoming performances, I’ve been super busy (and loving it)! Something else I’ve been working on is promoting the Royal Opera House programme for students and…
