Repertoire

From the moment Bailie takes the stage, her presence is endearing. This dancer demonstrates impressive breadth through bound and unbound energy, skilfully articulating her movements to the tune of every last finger and toe. Watching Bailie is a pleasure as her effortless transitions from liquid to static are an energized reflection of real-life conundrums.
