HERMIYONE – ASSISTANT TEACHER NCD YOUTH
SUMI – ASSISTANT CHOREOGRAPHER NCD YOUTH

SUMI

ASSISTANT CHOREOGRAPHER and dance teacher

Sumi has been dancing since the age of 5 studying ballet for a short while before realising that she preferred the more creative and freestyle side of dance.

She now focuses on her Contemporary, Aero and Street Dance Styles. She has a natural flare for creating stunning choreography and assists in teaching and choreographing for our performance crews, getting them ready for performances and more recently competitions.

Sumi is a force to be reckoned with and keeps everyone on their toes with her superb choreography.

She really has helped the performance crews grow in confidence and given them weekly challenges to build on their skills as young dancers and performers.

We love having Sumi on board!
