Hey there, lovely folks! I'm Ellie, the creative force behind The Wonky Dancer.

​

Since I was knee-high, I've been dancing my heart out, starting at the age of 6. I danced my way to a degree in dance and even gained a master's in choreography. Movement and performing? They light up my world! But guess what? The pressure to be flawless and the super competitive dance scene? That was a rollercoaster.

​

Here's the twist: I'm proudly neurodivergent. Sometimes, choreography and sequencing leave me baffled Picture this: During uni, it was like a constant dance-off – I gave it my all, but keeping up with my peers was like chasing a speedy comet. And ultimately these skills are important in the dance biz. So, I took a bold step and pressed pause on my dancing dreams.

​

Fast forward to 2021 – I'm wandering around a grocery store, eyeing up wonky-shaped fruit with a tagline that goes, "No fruit gets left behind." Ding ding! If quirky fruit can shine, why not my unique dancing brain? That was my lightbulb moment. I realised there's a whole tribe out there who can relate. That's how "The Wonky Dancer" came to be – a cozy hub where we, the like-hearted crew, groove to our own beat, owning our strengths and celebrating our quirks on the dance floor. Let's show the world how we roll! 🎉💃🕺
