Creating & Directing Choreography | Performance Coaching
I create and direct choreography for dancers and non dancers, centring clarity, musical understanding, and authentic expression. My approach is rooted in Black dance traditions and prioritises feeling, rhythm, and intention, ensuring movement remains accessible, meaningful, and connected, regardless of experience.
When coaching performance troupes, my focus extends beyond choreography to include process, presence, and collective responsibility. I support groups to develop cohesion, confidence, and trust, encouraging performers to understand why they move, not just what they perform. Rehearsal spaces are structured, supportive, and rigorous, allowing individuals and ensembles to grow while honouring the cultural and social roots of the work. Whether working with experienced dancers or first-time performers, I aim to create work that is honest, grounded, and purposeful. Performance that communicates story, groove, and shared intention, rather than surface-level spectacle.
Emcee, Host and Judge
I am available to emcee, host, and judge at events, and I enjoy working closely with organisers to understand the tone they wish to set and how they want their community to feel. With over 30 years as an elder in the dance community, I bring steadiness, warmth, and care to each space. Drawing on my background in training and development, I am comfortable guiding a room while remaining attentive and responsive, helping to create environments that feel safe, nourishing, and genuinely engaging for everyone involved.
