Samantha says:

I can’t thank the Starr Trust enough for supporting me with my future full time training at Tring - without which I would have had to leave and give up on my life ambition of becoming a professional dancer.

January 2016

Samantha is getting on very well at Tring. She returned on 5th January after her Christmas break, ready to complete their last full term’s worth of training before going out on their UK graduation tour in late April. She is currently working with choreographers Anthony Dowson, James Cousins and Jenna Lee.  Just before Christmas, she also performed in and co-directed their graduation show ‘Departures’ which was set in an airport and explored the wide range of characters that could be found there. As well as performing in 5 dance numbers, she took on the role of co-director which certainly proved a new experience for her.  All the students are now also embarking upon their search for employment in the industry so auditions are round the corner.
