Hi guys! As a Dance Informa Journalist with thirteen years dance experience, I aim to bring to you the latest news and interviews with choreographers and professionals within the industry.
I promise to communicate the art of dance in an honest and credible way that will have you equipped with the necessary tools to becoming the dancer you aspire to be.
Whether you specialise in Ballet or prefer to be versatile within genres, Dance Informa has it covered before it hits the press!
Dance Informa Magazine has changed my life, and released the passion for dance that I knew I still had within me…
I am passionate about all forms of dance but in particular Ballet and street dance styles. Although they appear to be completely different styles, I notice similarities within technique, coordination, strength and the ability to move an audience.
With friends securing overseas contracts and a family involved within the business side of dance, dance is a central part of my life that constantly allows me to discover more about myself. I must thank the amazingly talented Travers Ross and Jason Winters who inspired me to continue my dancing journey after three years off. It is simply never too late if you have the passion within you…
Choreographers continuously amaze me as to their ability to take risks and to step outside of the box. Their minds are working full-time to ensure their message is being communicated. Such a mundane task of brushing your teeth may become a catalyst for a bigger picture on the stage.
