TAIRA FOO DANCE COMPANY
Taira Foo Dance Co is a story-based company founded by choreographer Taira Foo, bringing the narrative ballet art-form into the 21st century.
Taira is known for her rapid-fire, high-energy choreography, delivering powerful emotional performances. Her recent work is reviewed as "Gripping", "Intensely moving", "One million miles an hour stuff" and "Imaginative and brilliant to watch".
​
Her work draws on strong contemporary and street-dance influences to create her own trademark style. Credits include ‘Prisoner 466' funded by The Arts Council and shown at ‘The House Of Lords’, short film 'Carly's exit' which premiered at The San Francisco Dance Film Festival and the New York ‘Dance for camera’ Festival. Snow Patrol’s ‘Don’t Give in’ 2018 with other performances in and around the UK.
​
'SICK', a current dance piece under Taira Foo Dance Co, is now in production as a short film. Continuing Taira Foo's vision of blending narrative-driven ballet with contemporary influences, SICK promises to push emotional and physical boundaries.

“‘Carly’s Exit’ is an uplifting and passionate expression of the fight to save a loved one from self-destruction. With original score, setting, and choreographer Taira Foo’s unstoppable energy, ‘Carly’s Exit’ forces colour and light into one of the darkest of subjects - illustrating with immediacy, realism and tenderness the battle for a friend’s life”
