Feeling grounded in the legs while the upper body moves free — arms and fingers carving out sharp shapes.

When I was younger, I practiced the one-inch punch I’d seen in martial arts films, loving that split second of stillness before a full release. Attack has always been my comfort zone as a dancer, and I enjoy creating exercises that help dancers discover that quality.

What I love here is seeing Tj, a 3rd-year student at Rambert School, explore softness in the same material. The flow is so present in his movement, while I often focus on the quick stillness between each attack.

It’s beautiful to watch individuality come through while keeping the clarity and precision of the material. My aim is never to create robots — but to give dancers a framework where they can bring their own voice. 2025-09-24 22:49:28 Feeling grounded .. 746 -3% 20 +81%
The next exercise looks at contrasting ways of moving:
✨ Broken shapes placed sharply next to each other, compact and segmented.
✨ Fluid textures that stretch, lengthen, and ripple through the body.

Think compactness vs. stretchiness, visceral vs. somatic, delicate vs. harsh.

Lovely Rambert School’s 3rd-year student Django embodying this contrast so beautifully! 🌊⚡

Finding Sensitivity in the Phrase

I’m really enjoying teaching this new phrase. The focus is on finding sensitivity through the pelvis, engaging the core, and highlighting the small details. The arms stay at about 60–70%, imagining length within the body without fully showing it on the outside.

It’s a phrase that can truly be performed — full of nuance and possibilities for the dancer to explore from one movement to the next ✨

It was amazing having current Rambert School students in the workshop — like Gianna, a 2nd year 💫 2025-09-22 23:33:01 Finding Se.. 559 -27% 29 +163%
Thank you so much to the 96 dancers who joined my open classes over the past two days! I can’t believe how many of you came—I’m truly grateful and thankful to each and every one of you.

I had such an amazing time with you all, and I feel so happy to have shared the space with so many wonderful dancers. I can’t wait to keep sharing more exercises with you!

Here’s a new leg exercise I’ve been teaching to my students at Rambert School over the past two weeks, and now I’m excited to share it with you outside of school as well.

This is Chrysanthi and Scott, two third-year student at Rambert School, and Jocelyn a First year as well as many new faces in  class too ❤️ 2025-09-21 23:41:31 Thank y.. 1,425 +85% 20 +81%

I made this exercise to help my students understand the idea of the plumb—that sense of verticality. 🌿

I often say: push the crown of the head up toward the ceiling without lifting the chin. It’s simple when the back stays straight, but once spirals or shifting dynamics enter, maintaining that line becomes a challenge.

This exercise explores how to find and keep that verticality—especially by playing with contrast. 2025-09-13 20:12:44 I made this exer.. 648 -16% 4 -64%

After a 10-part sequence with no break, the last phrase felt like sinking into the sea — soft, floaty, and suspended. Like a big octopus 🐙 with its tentacles unfolding, mysterious and deep.

Creating for me is like solving a puzzle. Not about flow, but about precision — shapes, fragments, old statues floating in my mind until it clicks. An exercise in precision

✨ From groove to resistance, from drills to imagination ✨
This carousel is a journey through the ideas that shape my classes —
how I warm up, how I train, how I play, and what I never let go of when I dance.

Swipe through 👉 each video pairs with a spark from my practice.

1️⃣ Warm-up that leads somewhere
Groove, rhythm, and flow instead of stiff drills — everything builds toward the final phrase.

2️⃣ What returns at the end
Every detail from the warm-up (isolations, legs, arms, spirals) carries through to the last phrase.

3️⃣ Resistance as language
Like pulling heavy bands — every push leaves a trace, the body becomes a canvas.

4️⃣ One word: resistance.
No easing in. Just stuckness, heaviness… and one explosive release.

5️⃣ Marking ≠ switching off
Even with less energy: keep focus, rhythm, arms, and direction. Refine, don’t erase.

6️⃣ 15 Arm Coordination Drill
15 moves, right arm 1 count ahead. A rigorous, playful challenge.

7️⃣ Things I never let go of
Counter-directions, focus, sound, touch, stories — textures that shape movement.

one word: resistance.
No easing in — just stepping straight into that tension.

Usually after a weekend without dancing, we talk about needing “oil” to get the body fluid again. But I love the opposite: moving inside the rigidity, staying stuck on purpose, and exploding it all into one powerful gesture.

One exercise, one texture — part of a whole class exploring the many ways movement can feel. 2025-09-04 23:03:36 one word: resista.. 3,808 +395% 21 +90%

✨ This clip is special — two incredible dancers (now with NDT and Shobana Jeyasingh) had only just started working with me when we filmed this.

A big part of my process is exploring facial expression and inner connection:
	•	How do you stay grounded within yourself even when the choreography is explosive?
	•	Can you resist letting the movement “perform” you, and instead hold something back?

What I love about dancers with jazz or hip-hop backgrounds is their fire, clarity, and power. In my work, I often challenge that by stripping it down — softening the edges to see what happens.

I’d love to see them perform this phrase again now, years later — how their maturity and restraint might completely transform it. 🔥

✨ Every academic year, there are always one or two phrases that seem to capture everything we’ve learned together and this is definitely one of them.

It’s amazing to see students reaching that moment where they’ve found their groove , discovering insights, perspectives, and connections that even I hadn’t imagined.

It’s in moments like these that I’m reminded why teaching is truly a two-way journey: you give all you can to your students, and what they give you in return is nothing short of magical. ✨ 2025-08-31 21:50:02 ✨ Every a.. 684 -11% 25 +126%
