How are you/have you been involved with Casson & Friends?

I was first involved when I was asked by Tim to work on his Choreospodance Project in Aberdeen as part of the Dance Live Festival. Following that I participated in the The Dance We Made 4 during the Ydance Connections weekend in Edinburgh. 

What do you love about dance?

The endless possibilities it provides you with, not only in the studio but in day to day life! 

What song always makes you dance?

 Watch Out for This - Major Lazer

What are you working on at the moment?

I have just finished working with Sara Kamal as part of the Scottish Ballet mentorship Programme with Kerry Nicholls and have just been accepted to participate in the 2016 Deltebre Dansa Festival in Barcelona this July.  Currently working with the Aberdeen Based company KaSt in their piece “ Fragile Paper” and will be continuing to work with them on some exciting new projects in the near future. 

Also my website is currently underway as we speak.. Watch this Space...
