Hi dancers! So sorry about the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks. I have been dealing with the loss of one of my teachers and it has been a difficult time. I will write about this in a little more detail eventually, but not yet. In the meantime, though, I’m happy to…

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…
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.

Update- Where Have I Been?
Hi everyone! I am aware that I haven’t posted in a really long time. On top of that, pretty much all of my recent posts have been reviews. I’m so sorry about that- I have had a whole bunch of new posts planned but I wasn’t sure where to begin. So, I’ll begin with this-…
Review: Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella
What a great start to the 2018 dance season! The week before last, I was fortunate enough to be able to watch Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures in Cinderella at the Sadler’s Wells. As mentioned in my round-up of 2017 dance performances, New Adventures’ interpretation of The Red Shoes was one of my absolute favourite performances of last…
