I had always been aware of Project Y and always wanted to take part but was nervous about it. I had applied for 2023 and been accepted but got too nervous so never took up the place, I nearly didn't in 2024 but I'm so glad it did, it pushed me way out of my comfort zone, enabled me to really grow as a dancer and push myself more than I thought I could. The people I met were amazing and will have a lasting effect on me. If you had said to me 5 years ago that I'd be going into my second year taking part in project Y, I would never have believed you. I can't wait to be part of its 20th year.

The whole process of creating a piece with the amazing choreographers was a great part. The performance was amazing, the preparation that went in was a great insight into the industry.

Whilst not directly I think project Y increased my confidence and made me realise that I can do difficult things and push myself out of my comfort zone.
