Defiance in the face of Brexit at Sadlers Wells
Maybe in years to come, people will ask me what I was doing on the night the UK left the EU. I’ll be proud to say that I was at the Sadlers Wells theatre in London, embracing a diverse programme of dance featuring dancers and styles from all around the world. As the last few…
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…
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. Whilst watching performances on YouTube etc. is a great way to do that, nothing can compare to watching dance live, and feeling the energy of the performers on the…

Something else I’ve been working on is promoting the Royal Opera House programme for students and…
Hofesh Shechter: Grand Finale & Live Interview with Sadler’s Wells!
So a couple of weeks ago, I had one of my best experiences in the dance world to date. I received the incredible opportunity to watch the Hofesh Shechter Company in rehearsal at Sadler’s Wells, and to host a live Facebook broadcast, including a Q&A with Hofesh Shechter himself! Later that week, I attended a…
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…
My Afternoon at English National Ballet
Hi everyone! Sorry it’s been a while- I’ve just moved into a new flat, and finished my first year at university- where did that time go?! That means that as well as my university classes, vocational ballet classes, teaching commitments and commitments to social media work, I’ve been packing, unpacking, commuting from my boyfriend’s parents’…
