ABOUT ME/QUALIFICATIONS 

I now have shoulder length hair! Updating my profile with recent pics. 

Hello! I'm a professional ballet contemporary dancer, with a First Class Bachelors degree from one of the top conservatories in the UK, Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance, working with some of the best teachers and choreographers in the UK. Furthermore, I also have a distinction in a Masters Degree (at 20 years old!) in dance and toured the UK with postgraduate dance company 'Emergence', performing works from world renowned choreographers. I have worked at Disneyland Paris as a face character and parade dancer and performed in various ballet and contemporary companies throughout Portugal. Most recently I am working and performing with North East based dance companies.

I have over 6 years of experience in front of the camera. I LOVE this work and bring a ton of creativity and personality to my shoots. I am a very versatile dancer and will most likely be able to recreate any image you like, I rarely need direction! Being a dancer, I am highly aware of my body and I pose in a way that reflects all that experience. If you have been wanting to shoot with a dancer but found only amateur models with gaps in their professional training, look no further. You are guaranteed 100% satisfaction with your images of me.

SPECIALITY

I am most frequently booked for dance and fashion shoots. I am signed with FAUX Creatives and Atmosphere Faces. Additional areas of experience are portraits, glamour/beauty and swimwear. I do not do lingerie or nude shoots, please don’t ask.

Dance shoot: £40/hr (2-hour minimum)

Dance Workshops: £45/hr (2-hour minimum)

All shoots come with + £10 travel, I am happy to travel outside of London if pre-arranged and expenses paid. Cancellation less than 24 hours = 100% fee paid. Cancellation less than 72 hours = 50% fee paid.

Anything else, ask me!

OTHER DETAILS

I can shoot in pointe shoes, bare foot or in normal shoes. No using ballet shoes on sand or dirt, (unless you want to reimburse the £50 pointe shoe fee!) I am good at doing my own makeup and hair, and have a large wardrobe we can work with. I'm also very meticulous, and like to view some of the images we are shooting from time to time as the shoot progresses so that I know what to tweak in the poses.
