Being a Dance Scientist
What To Expect?
From leaving school, to touring internationally with Riverdance, to performing on London's West End, to finding dance science, to returning to study, to teaching dancers, to researching best practice, to leading educational programmes; this session will share one person's journey through performing, teaching and researching in dance across different dance styles, with an emphasis on how and why dance science is so important to everyone in the dance sector. Anecdotes and life tips that have been learned along the way will be shared and there will be plenty of time to ask questions.
