 I have been dancing, teaching & choreographing for the past 10 years now. My career so far has allowed me to work in TV, film, theatre, music videos, film-dance & live events. My professional training in jazz, ballet and contemporary pushes me to create interesting movement using a fusion of these styles. Currently continuing my advanced training through the RAD, I look for dancers who invest themselves in their craft! I am the Creative Director of the ‘Gavin Williams Dance Company’ which is specifically tailored to train the next generation of creative artists and associate level industry dancers. I have professionally trained under some of the best professionals in Scotland at West College Scotland and The Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, as well as collaborations/worked alongside many international professionals. I believe that a dancer has to be as much of an athlete as they are an artist!
