Today we Wuthered!! Leading 500 people through Kate Bush’s iconic choreography high on the Haworth moors was so joyous and moving (and what a way to break up my mat leave!) We danced for each other, for all women, and to protect our beautiful moors ❤️ #katebush #mostwutheringheightsday

Hello👋 A little intro… I’m a dance artist working in creative health - tackling loneliness & advocating for belonging. I founded Curious Motion, a dance & health non-profit, in 2019 to drive this forwards in my home borough of Calderdale. I’m also about to become a mum! Here’s to future adventures!
