Name: Katie Stokes

Age: 21

Where are you from? Worcester

I am currently… Working 3 part time jobs at a logo embroidery factory, a chip shop and Sainsbury’s.

I am a LEAP Ambassador because… I want to explore all of the inner workings that go into producing these magnificent shows. I think it’s such a special opportunity to get so much hands on experience from such professionals.

What are you passionate about? Aside from dancing, I’m extremely passionate about art and design in all forms! I love creating and experimenting with new mediums.

An interesting fact about me is… I have a tortoise named Chris.

My first encounter with Birmingham Royal Ballet was… Attending performances with my dance school when I was little!
