I'm in the process of analysing some of the data from my PhD study exploring performance anxiety in dancers. 1,012 dancers took part and early results are in. I think they’ll interest dance educators, coaches, and choreographers 🩰🧠 (1/5)

Excited to share that I’ll be presenting my PhD research at the 35th IADMS conference in Las Vegas this September! An incredible opportunity to contribute to a global academic forum in dance medicine & science. #IADMS2025 🇺🇸💃🏻🧠📚

Loud noise has always been quite overwhelming for me, so I’m giving Loop earplugs a try. 🌀 They’ll help take the edge off without blocking out the world entirely - great for sensitive hearing and navigating busy spaces more comfortably. Away to try them out during the Aldi shop!👂🏻✨

Great read from @amelianewton.bsky.social

Spent my Sunday morning on the sofa discovering the PressReader app - such a game-changer! 🛋️📰 Got free access through my local library and now I can browse newspapers from all over the world. Perfect for a chilled, coffee-fuelled start to the day. ☕🌍
