Claire Farmer

Dance Lecturer, Manager and Practitioner

Dance

I chose to study the MSc part time over 2 years, which gave me opportunities to explore dance science in a professional capacity alongside my studies. I was also able to explore the application of dance for the health by working as a dance assistant for Trinity Laban’s Learning and Participation department.
