The best part of my time at Salford was being part of the Emergence Dance Company. We worked with world-renowned choreographers and went on a national tour. Throughout this experience, we were treated as professional dancers, which helped me understand exactly what would be expected of me in the industry.
During the course, we were also taught many practical skills needed to be a successful freelance dancer. For example, one of our modules was focused on self-promotion and using digital marketing to promote ourselves. I still use the Instagram account and website I created, which has helped me book work as a freelance artist.
Since graduating from my master’s, I’ve been working as a freelance dance artist in Manchester. I have had the opportunity to work on so many different projects collaborating with some of Manchester’s most exciting creatives. A couple of my highlights have been touring educational pieces about women’s safety and the importance of vaccines, working with Ruth Jones as an Assistant Choreographer for the Manchester Day Parade and teaching the next generation of dancers as part of the Lowry Theatre’s Centre for Advanced Training team.
