Ruby Drakes (RubyDrakes)

I am a young dancer, training at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance (from September 2024), for a BA Hons in Contemporary dance. My interest for contemporary dance sparked from a wish to explore the possibilities of my bodies movement quality, and experiment with gravity and balance. My journey began with Phoenix Youth Academy, where I learnt how to improvise and choreograph, expanding my practise, and improving my confidence within the contemporary style. I am currently interested in contemporary art and how I can link the visual of art to my dance practise. I have 2 years teaching experience (teaching ages 4-13) in acrobatics and contemporary, and in 2023, achieved my AcrobaticArts module one teaching qualification with 100%.
