Dancer

Dance

During my time at Trinity Laban I was able to grow as a dance artist, being offered opportunities to perform in works such as Wayne McGregor’s FAR (2010). Throughout my studies, I was surrounded by like minded individuals who shared my interests and encouraged me to strive for the best possible result. It was this commitment to hard work that made the transition from student to professional dancer easier.
