Millie Kingsnorth
Founder and Artistic Director
Millie founded Tessellation Dance after realising there was a lack of dance opportunities for those with disabilities and additional needs in her local area. She has been passionate about inclusive practice since she began her dance training. Dealing with chronic illnesses herself has given her first-hand experience in adapting her practice to suit a range of needs. She received a first-class Dance Education degree from Canterbury Christ Church University. Since graduating, she has worked as a freelance dance artist with various local and national dance organisations alongside her work with Tessellation Dance, including Parable Dance and Dance Syndrome.
