Brooke Darke

DANCER

Originally from Hertfordshire, Brooke trained at Kreative Dance Academy as a competitive disco freestyle dancer for 7 years. Throughout her training, she also competed across the UK in acro, lyrical and jazz.

She became a student teacher at the school in 2018, completing a CPD Certificate in Assistant Acro Teaching. She has enjoyed working with the school in various capacities ever since: choreographing for competition and exam classes, as well as teaching at summer schools and after-school clubs. Brooke found a love for contemporary when she joined Dillon Dance Youth in 2022. Performing works “Heavy is the Head” and “Roots” with the company sparked her interest in powerful physicality, which she continued to pursue in her undergraduate studies.

She received a first-class degree in BA (Hons) Dance Performance from the University of Chichester. As part of her undergraduate training, she was a member of 3Fall Dance Company 2025, touring works by Lila Dance (“Jagged Edge”), KJ Mortimer (“Moving Fast, Feeling Slow”), and Glitch Dance Collective (“The Hot Seat”). During her third year, she created her own work “Lapse”, which she was given the opportunity to re-stage and subsequently take on tour with 3Fall. She is excited to join Emergence and intends to develop her artistry further.

Outside of the studio, Brooke loves spending time in nature, weightlifting, and meeting up with friends.
