Jade Avril Grundy
Jade began dancing at her local dance school aged nine where she began to study ISTD Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Modern. Once she became confident in these styles she began performing at festivals and competitions, and from there onwards her passion for dance blossomed. During the summer Jade often participated in summer intensives such as Laine Theatre Arts and Elevate summer school. Participating in summer intensives broadened Jades skills by learning new styles such as improvisation, Irish, Contemporary, Latin/ballroom and Creative Choreography. During school Jade was noticed for her dance talent and was asked to complete her GCSE in dance a year early. From this point on dance became more than just a hobby and she took her education further onto College A levels and even further onto BA (Hons) Dance at the University of Chichester. At the University Jade has gained interests in many different modules to broaden her skills. An example being the 3Fall Tech module in which she hopes to learn and enjoy the professional dance touring industry. Aklima Uddin
Aklima has trained in classical Indian and mainstream Bollywood before training in Contemporary dance from the age of 8. She studied GCSE and A Level dance, and is now in her final year working as a technician for 3Fall Dance Company. She completed her foundation degree in Brighton where she gained the opportunity to work with many contemporary artists. To build on her portfolio Aklima has participated in competitions and completed the Young Dance Ambassador 2012 programme at Trinity Laban. After her degree, Aklima aims to work as a freelance dance artist travelling and working in the Indian film industry. |
Emily-Louise Hulatt
Emily joined Harlequin Studios, Peacehaven, when she was 3 years old and took part in a broad range of classes. She also took part in many local productions as well as professional shows. Along side the performances she represented her dance school with competing in competitions and festivals. She went on to study A level Dance at Sussex Downs College, Lewes, whilst she continued dancing in the senior classes at Harlequin. Throughout summer breaks she has taken part in local workshops to broaden movement vocabulary, her interests are more based on physical contemporary dance. Emily is interested in being part of the technical team, as she is a team player and is excited to learn a new range of skills. Once Emily completes her degree she is planning to take the PGCE teacher qualification to become a PE teacher specialising in dance, but the new skills she learns from the module may sway her direction.

Taking a variety of modules including teaching, dance administration and technique has opened up many pathways for a future in dance for Danielle.

Alongside this, Louise had her first introduction to contemporary dance when she studied GCSE and A Level at her local school. It was during this time that she realised the many career options available in dance and decided to pursue it at degree level. Having always been interested in how dance companies book, promote and carry out their tours, the chance to be a 3Fall administrator was one that she had to take. Louise has a passion for dance and hopes to work as an arts administrator in the future, so she can give as many people as possible the chance to experience dance. |
