Guest Teaching and Institutional Work



I offer high-level guest teaching and bespoke movement-based engagements for professional dance companies, vocational training programmes, educational institutions, and cultural organisations in the UK and internationally.
My work is grounded in classical ballet and informed by over twenty years dancing with The Royal Ballet. I continue to perform with the company as a Guest Character Artist, and alongside this I teach internationally and work as an Artistic Associate and Consultant with the Royal Opera and Ballet, contributing to their Learning and Participation programmes.
Each engagement is designed in response to the specific context and aims of the host institution, with a focus on enhancing technical confidence, artistic range, and expressive clarity among participants.

Approach
My teaching combines technical clarity with emphasis on musicality, artistry, and embodied understanding. I create environments that are both rigorous and supportive, encouraging participants to develop confidence, depth of movement, and expressive awareness.
I also work as a Resident Artist at Great Ormond Street Hospital, performing for children, families, and hospital staff. This experience informs a teaching approach rooted in sensitivity, adaptability, and clear communication.
