Born and raised in North London, Lily began her dance journey at her local dance school, where she learnt the foundations of Cecchetti ballet technique. At the age of 15, she joined the Centre for Advanced Training programme at The Place where she developed a variety of creative skills and advanced her contemporary technique working with companies such as Michael Clark, Jasmin Vardimon, BalletBoyz and Tavaziva. She was also awarded the opportunity to participate in the Arte Baletto exchange programme in Sicily.

Lily continued her studies at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance where she recently graduated with a First-Class Honours degree. During her time there, she worked with various choreographers including Divya Kasturi, Sarah Wookey and Joel Brown from Candoco Dance Company.

Exploring an interdisciplinary approach to dance interests Lily, more specifically looking at its connections to art and fashion; how they can inform, inspire, and translate into one another.

Outside of dance, Lily’s passion for movement and aesthetic is reflected in her modelling work. One of her highlights was dancing and walking at London Fashion Week 2022 for brand S.S.DALEY.
