  • Choreography

    Without a doubt, one of the best choreographic projects I’ve ever had the pleasure to be a part of. I’ve been looking for a project like it ever since.

  • Teaching

    These classes are physically and creatively challenging, in that great, ‘chewy’ way that leaves everyone with something to keep thinking about.

  • Mentoring

    The first time we worked with Kerry was one of the best growth spurts. She has been the best mentor that a dancer could ask for!

    Kerry’s ability to strike the right balance between encouraging and challenging, nurturing and questioning, making strategic interventions and stepping back, quite simply inspires young people to create exceptional work and go beyond what they think they are capable of.
