Without a doubt, the highlight of 2024 has been becoming an auntie to my precious little nephew - always being reminded of the importance of family, and the gift of moments ☺️
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
Cats definitely know! Have a very lovely festive break Maria! ☺️

Dance… a powerful place of inspiration to connect us to who we are. Just wow on Strictly!
Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending pottery with gold, can teach us to embrace our flaws, imperfections, and uniqueness.

As part of this we are currently evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of an educational workshop on self-harm for those in dance education. We are looking to conclude this work at end of December and with limited spaces left please get in touch if you are interested.

Excited to use this ‘dance map’ learning resource again with students for a creative contemporary class tomorrow, and to see what movement ideas they form from using these!
This looks very interesting!
That’s excellent to hear Gill! 😌

It’s been one whole month since I presented a research poster on some of the early findings from my PhD at the IADMS conference! I was very grateful to have made lots of wonderful professional connections at this event.
