‘During my time on the graduate programme, I was really able to consolidate my technique and artistry with the focus of the course purely on auditions. I was extremely lucky over this time, to tour and perform a lot with the company which is the best experience you can get going into this profession. This year at Northern was crucial to me as a dancer and I would not be where I am now without it’
