Q:What was your experience like, being part of LCB?

A:LCB was the most wonderful experience. I knew from day one this was special but had no idea the true impact LCB would be in forming my future. It was where I experienced for the first time a professional performance driven environment, working with some of the best creators, ballet masters and artists in the world, have not only become colleagues and friends but have become directors, actors and leaders in some of the most prestigious company's in the world. 

Q:What do you enjoy when you are not dancing?
A:Sailing and cycling!

“As a child my dream was being fulfilled, my possibilities widened and the gift LCB gave me, my love for performing, only cemented what my life ambition was. I was dancing on a West End Stage. Incomprehensible to a boy who did ballet in a small village in Essex. I can only describe this as a life changing moment.”
