I have been returning to Instep since I left in July 2013, and coming back for residency is always such a joy. Over the weekend I spent the majority of my time with Company 2. Seeing such complex and intricate ideas being brought to life through movement was extremely fascinating. Throughout the weekend the pieces continued to unfold and come together; I felt truly absorbed in the creative process and was able to offer ideas as an observer. The dancers worked intelligently in such an environment that was very pleasing to be in, which meant resolving problems happened quickly and professionally. When sharing the work on Sunday afternoon it was lovely to see so much talent in the space all working together doing something that we all love. (It was also great to see some new faces.)

 Insteppers always make me feel welcome and are such a pleasure to be around; watching them all, over the weekend was a huge reminder for me as to why I love to dance and what dance means for me in my life. I feel so lucky to have shared such a wonderful weekend with so many not just talented dancers but wonderful people.
