Professional Ballet and Contemporary Dancer,

Model, 5" 8 ,

Freelance

London based

I am a 22 year old professional ballet dancer with a BA(Hons) Degree in Professional Dance and Performance from Central School of Ballet, validated by the University of Kent.

I have had the pleasure of being featured in Vogue Italia, Feroce magazine, the cover of Angelic Magazine and on the e-commerce website and a tube billboard for Poshak Mahal.

I have spent the last two years working with Cinevox Junior Company in Switzerland as well as modelling for several brands such as Tods, The House of Worth and Modissa as well as freelance photographers, videographers and artists.

I have been told I have an uncanny ability to 'become' what I am performing, whilst maintaining a luminous quality that draws people into the work.

I am very hard working and disciplined, but most importantly I am passionate about what I do and I believe strongly in the power of creativity and the arts and the positive impact these have on people.

I am looking to expand my portfolio and participate in as many projects as possible, whether this is photoshoots, video shoots, short films, productions, performances or shows.

Please email me by clicking this link, or see my contact details below if you are interested in collaborating with me to create something wonderful!

Kind regards,

Claire

As well as having excellent stage presence, dance technique, artistry, improvisation and group work skills, I also have skills in acting.
