About Me
I am a freelance dancer, teacher, choreographer and mentor. I am currently developing and performing 'Suzy Homemaker' an ACE funded (3 times now) solo show. Our current stage of the work is a pilot tour and projecting forward; our fourth stage will be a national tour of the work. During my time as a professional dancer I have worked with Opera North, Black Box Dance Company in Denmark, Jana Bitterová, Mercurial Dance, The Hexagon Collective, Constella OperaBallet, Tina Tarpgaard, Jason Mabana, Marie Brolin-Tani, Steph Giles, Dionysia Bouzioti, Joseph Reay-Reid, Northern Dance, Lila Naruse, Jacob Stage, Melody Putu, Alexander Michael, Balbir Singh Dance Company and Gerry Turvey to name a few. I have also produced and directed multiple works at the University of Sheffield where I am a resident artist and I am lucky enough to have movement direction experience in shows across West Yorkshire.
Teaching wise I have been fortunate to teach in multiple HE institutions and Conservatoires in England, Denmark and Sweden. I have taught extensively at Leeds City College, Leeds University, Danstalentakademi (Conservatoire in Denmark) and guest taught at many other schools in Yorkshire.
At Leeds City College I worked with young adults and children on the spectrum that have learning disabilities. I have also facilitated workshops with disabled adults and their carers in art galleries centered around movement and exploration that respond to the art work. I have choreographed multi-award winning solos, duets, trios and group numbers in ballet, contemporary, neo-classical and musical theatre jazz styles. I primarily teach contemporary (Graham, Cunningham, Release, Limon and Floorwork), Ballet, Pointe work, Repertoire and Neo-Classical.

Education
I trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance where I received a First Class Hons Degree and the Carolyn Woolridge Prize for highest performance marks. I also gained a Distinction in an MA in Contemporary Dance at NSCD. Prior to this I completed the Foundation Course at NSCD with a Distinction.
Experience / Qualifications
A brief over view can be found above, but prior to my HE training, I trained very heavily in ballet, jazz and tap. I am a professional dancer and teacher with years of experience in person and online.
