National Youth Ballet – All in! Romeo and Juliet

I was delighted this year to be part of the National Youth Ballet – All in! Company. This company supports young disabled ballet dancers to be able to support each other, learn from each other and express ourselves through dance.

I played the role of Juliet in a beautifully choreographed performance of Romeo and Juliet with many other talented dancers. When dancing, I have a specific dance wheelchair I use which allows me to move more easily. I had a great time and I’m looking forward to my next dance project!

We performed this at Sadler’s Wells on 9th September. You can view more pictures and information on the National Youth Ballet website here
