Dancers joined the event, organised by Westminster Business School students, and showcased what has been billed as “some of London’s best, and upcoming professional dancers”.

Olivia Crane, Level 3 Performing Arts student, attended the workshop and said: 

"I thought the class was great! I love Emily’s enthusiastic ways of teaching choreography, especially with this dance, the routine was jam packed full of technical movements that I wouldn’t of thought to use or choreograph in to my own pieces. It was a new experience participating in an industry standard workshop, I have definitely learnt some useful tips that I know will be very helpful in the future. It was just so refreshing to learn such a unique style of dance too."
