Hi! I am a professional dancer, dance teacher and vocalist based in North London. I trained at London Studio Centre, graduating with a first class BA (Hons) in Theatre Dance with Classical Ballet specialism. During my training I had the opportunity to work with choreographers such as Will Tuckett (Royal Ballet), Jenna Lee (English National Ballet) and Constant Vigier (Scottish Ballet). I currently teach ballet, jazz and contemporary dance to children aged 2-16 as well as adults. I am also working in collaboration with filmmaker Michael Mendones on his upcoming project (be)longing, which explores neurodivergence and will be screened at the bethlem gallery in 2026. I will be choreographing four pieces to music composed by myself in collaboration with Mendones and I thoroughly look forward to continuing this creative process. I am particularly interested in the relationship between music and movement, having written my dissertation on the topic of musicality in the ballet dancer. Music is at the core of all my choreographic work, whether for class exercises, performance projects or improvisation. As a vocalist, I have experience recording for radio (Goodbye, Morwenna Banks for Radio 4, 2013) as well as extensive experience working in amateur theatrical productions and concerts (including for composer Harvey Brough). I received a distinction at ABRSM grade 8 and can sing in a range of styles including pop, musical theatre (both legit and contemporary), jazz, rock, choral and classical. I can also sing in Spanish. I have also worked as a personal assistant at Fierce Tears Productions as well as a production assistant for Avalon UK. My portfolio can be found on Instagram @doll_loveday_choreo_vocals
