Artist Statement

Come Dance With Me invites you to dance, offering a unique approach to enable spontaneous participation through structured improvisation. Drawing on creativity, non-verbal communication, connection and playfulness, it is contemporary dance’s answer to social dance – the dance develops between two people in a natural, responsive and interactive way. Following some initial pointers as guidance, the dancers invite you to join them in this fun, creative and freeing experience. 

Over several decades I have developed this approach to dance participation combining my experience in choreography, education, dance and wellbeing. Join in and dance for happiness!
