I love dancing with people, and I love listening to stories.
Whenever I move, I always feel like there is a continuous flow of energy threading through my body — like a gentle stream flowing through a forest, waves that rise and fall, always returning to the shore, an endless cycle of push and pull of the tides drawing something new from within me each time.
I was 7 when I started training in classical Chinese Dance. I can still see it clearly: my friends and I stretching our splits in the studio, getting dressed for performances. Backstage photographs with the biggest smiles.
The first time I met a dancer, I was in awe. It was the first time I realised I could pursue dance beyond just a hobby. Years later, I found myself in C6-38, and dance continued taking me places I never imagined. I trained further in ballet, contemporary dance, floorwork, partnering, and contact improvisation. It was a whole new world to me. Then it brought me to London, where I am currently performing, creating works, and leading classes.
I am still trying to piece together what my artistic practice is, which is why this page has taken a while to come to life.
What I do know is that my work is deeply rooted in my relationships with people. It matters more to me that we keep moving, that we keep breathing, and that we keep being, together. This exchange of energy and connection with another makes dance feel real and tangible, when in reality they exist only in fleeting moments — deeply felt in the present but never fully captured in our memories.
I believe that everyone has the potential to dance and that movement can unlock something profound within oneself. Through empathy, patience, and a deep belief in positive reinforcement, I create spaces for my students to express themselves freely through movements and spoken reflections. I embody a playful spirit when I teach, as a reminder to myself and everyone around me that dance is ultimately about the people we share it with and the experiences we create together.
I think of them sometimes, my friends from back then. I wonder where dance has taken them.
