3 favourite dance moments

1. Doing LINK (4th year at WAAPA), where I could finally find my creativity in contemporary dance after many years of classical ballet training before that, which wasn't quite my thing...

2. Touring regional WA with Flying Bicycle Collective performing our original show "Dreams of a Lonely Planet" and meeting amazing communities and children along the way!

3. Being so inspired by taking part in The Farm's Barebones workshop in Gold Coast with lots of friends!
