Before college, I was very introverted. Now I’m more outgoing and confident, not just in dance but in myself. I’ve learned how to connect with people, believe in my abilities, and take pride in who I am. This course has taught me far more than just performance, it’s taught me how to grow.
Studying Level 3 BTEC Dance at Peterborough College allowed me to secure a spot at Urdang University of London for a Musical Theatre and Professional Dance degree!
I’ve had the opportunity to take on lead roles in several productions, as well as supporting roles, each one has challenged me and helped me grow. Being given those opportunities has made a real difference and prepared me for future roles in the industry.
