In our first episode of Spotlight Support: Behind the Scenes, I'm joined by former JLM Dance student Sophie Devlin.
Having recently completed her foundation year at Laine Theatre Arts, Sophie reflects on her dance journey so far, the transition into full-time vocational training and what she's learned along the way.
We discuss the realities of training, what has worked for her, the challenges she's faced and the lessons she's taking forward as she prepares to begin her three-year degree in Dance.
Sophie also opens up about navigating an injury during her foundation year and the impact it had on her mentally, offering an honest insight into some of the challenges young performers can experience.
An insight into the experiences, expectations and realities of pursuing a career in dance.
