I love dancing with people, and I love listening to stories.  

I was 7 when I started training in classical Chinese Dance. I can still see it clearly: my friends and I stretching our splits in the studio, getting dressed for performances. Backstage photographs with the biggest smiles.

The first time I met a dancer, I was in awe. It was the first time I realised I could pursue dance beyond just a hobby. Years later, I found myself in studio C6-38, and dance continued taking me places I never imagined. I trained further in ballet, contemporary dance, floorwork, partnering, and contact improvisation. It was a whole new world to me. Then it brought me to London.

My work, as a performer and teacher, is deeply guided by the people around me, and the relationships we have with each other. I prioritise finding pleasure and joy in my movements, and when I'm dancing with people, and love creating spaces where we can all move and breathe as one. I find this exchange of energy and connection within dance is what turns the ephemeral nature of this art into something tangible.

Through empathy, patience, and a deep belief in positive reinforcement, I embody a playful spirit when I teach, as a reminder to myself and everyone around me that dance is ultimately about the people we share it with and the experiences we create together.

I think of them sometimes, my friends from back then.

I wonder where dance has taken them.
