Workshops // Intensives // Pro Class // Residencies

Annie creates bespoke sessions tailored to the needs & desires of each group as much as possible, and her ongoing interest in creating high-quality, challenging, and accessible dance classes drives her to continually re-investigate her approach. As a dancer with a non-normative physicality, Annie draws from her own bodily experience in the mainstream contemporary dance world, as well as her wide-ranging contemporary dance practice, and wants to create spaces for dancers of all abilities to study & train at a professional level.

Annie's sessions vary in content but at their core will always resonate with the pleasure of moving, dancing in a supportive & generous environment, and the simple joy of getting sweaty to good music.

As a practicing artist Annie has lead sessions for diverse groups of dancers around the world for over a decade. Alongside her extensive teaching as a member of Candoco Dance Company, as an independent artist she has lead:
