Working with my friends is my absolute favourite thing in the world. Here’s the phenomenally talented @kristinladstrom with the @davidwbroad Trio at Swing Revolution last year. 💕 . . #blues #bluessinger #band #bluesband #swingband #singer #livemusic #musicphotography

The newbie comp where no newbie follows signed up, so the leaders got paired with some other absolute newbies 👯‍♀️ @merseyswing always do an amazing job of making new dancers feel welcome and empowered 💫 . . . #lindyhop #swing #swingdancing #liverpool #vintagedancing #charleston #collegiateshag #lindy #dancers #dancersofinstagram #dancing #retrostyle

2020 announcement: I will not be accepting any more 2020 swing dance festivals, except for regular clients or festivals I’ve worked in previous years. I am so busy this year and just don’t have any capacity to add in any new festivals. I’ll still be taking on single day/night events and non swing dance work. 👯‍♀️ Happy to recommend other people, so please do get in touch if you want to chat 📩 I’m incredibly touched and humbled to be able to say I’m booked a year in advance (!!!). I hate saying no, but I’ve taken on way too much in previous years. I need to be sensible with my time — I’ll always try to make time for festivals who have supported me from day 1 and I’ll always put them first in my time priorities. For 2021, please get in touch soon 😍😍

Big 2019 round up post, link in my bio. Also Manchester Swing Festival 2020 is happening! Save the date and come visit pals 👯‍♀️

I’ve not been posting much lately because life — so here’s a good one from Edinburgh Bal and Shag Festival 🤙🏻 #lindyhop #shag #balboa #dancing #dancecompetition #aerial #life #airstep #vintagedance #dancing

Here’s a moment of straight up appreciation for my friend and client @katiecobalt. Making a living in swing dance is TOUGH. It’s uncertain and a saturated market and you’ve gotta be HELLA GOOD. Katie has taken some life risks and worked DAMN HARD — I am 👏🏻 so 👏🏻 freaking 👏🏻 proud 👏🏻 to see it pay off for this qween at this year’s @lindyhopchamps. Following your dreams takes balls, and I just can’t contain the happiness of seeing it pay off for good people. You should hire this person because they’re a boss.
