Because I’m so behind in reviews and it would take me forever and a day to review everything I’ve seen in the last 9 months, I’ve decided to whack it all into one post, and I’ve even ranked them from 1-12 in order of which was my favourite to least favourite performance. I actually started … Continue reading Review: Top 12
Although my time at DMU is now very much a thing of the past, I thought it’d be nice to summarise that year in a post. Moving to a big city like Leicester was really exciting for me, I felt I was ready for a change and I was ready to move away from home. … Continue reading University: Year 1

Towards the end, James came in as well and taught a … Continue reading Workshop & Review: James Wilton Leviathan

There was 12 youth dance companies and I believe five of those were selected to go through to the next round to the regional platform. It took place at Curve which is … Continue reading Volunteering: Mass Movement
Summary I’ve been meaning to write this for a while but I thought it’d be nice to summarise my first term at university, and may be useful for anyone who’s considering going to study dance.
