Hayley Adams

Dance Artist and Educator

Dance

The Post-Graduate Certificate: Dance in Community was a challenging yet widely insightful year of study. I refer to this year as the ‘springboard’ into my varied career as a Dance Artist. The high quality three-tiered approach for training in performance, choreography and teaching is absolutely still relevant to my work today.
