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 when I'm dancing with people, and love creating spaces where we can all move and breathe as one. This unique exchange of energy and connection within dance is what I believe 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.
