Performing with @londondancecollaborative ✨
There are some experiences in life that change you, and this has wholeheartedly been one of those. Dancing on stage again after such a long break was nothing short of magical, and to get to do it alongside such talented, giving and kind people made it all the more special 💖
To all of the amazing people I shared this journey with, I stand in awe of your talent and generosity. Thank you for opening your arms to quiet little me and holding me up through the hardest days 🫶🏼

To @ryaanupton , dancing in Octavia was such a joy and a privilege, and the passion and energy and enthusiasm that you brought to the studio gave us all the wings to fly on stage. Thank you for your belief and trust in us 💕

Most of all, for @aaron_thao_ , thank you isn’t enough for giving us this opportunity. You’ve truly created something so special and I hope we see you back in London again very soon. Thank you for your kindness over the whole weekend, and for seeing me and uplifting me when I needed it most ❤️✨

PS. If anyone needs me for quick change magic or technical support, me and my head torch are at the ready 😂 (but also I promise not quite done with dancing yet 😉)

One week to go ✨

In one week, LDC CoLab Incubator begins — and we honestly can’t wait to be back in the studio together.

A week of training, creating, questioning, and sharing space with other professionals. A week built on curiosity, collaboration, and community. A week to be challenged, supported, and reminded why we do this.

📅 Monday 23 February – Sunday 1 March
📍 The Place

Counting down the days until we move, think, and create together again 🤍

At the heart of CoLab Incubator is the environment.

We wanted to create a space where community comes first, where creativity is encouraged, and curiosity is welcomed.
A place to ask questions, try things, and explore ideas alongside other professionals — without pressure or comparison.

Because real growth happens when artists feel supported, connected, and free to be curious 🤍

LDC’s CoLab Incubator is a week created for UK-based professional dancers and emerging choreographers to build community, create, and perform together.

The idea came from a simple truth: our growth as artists doesn’t stop at graduation. As professionals, we still need training, guidance, and — most importantly — space and opportunity to keep moving forward.

CoLab is designed as a supportive environment where you can continue learning, be challenged, and develop your artistry alongside other professionals.

📅 Monday 23 February – Sunday 1 March
We’d love to have you join us 🤍
