GEORGE BURTON

Dancer

“I dance for reasons we all do. The nostalgia and joy it presents me is a feeling that I have never been able to match. Dance has given me the platform to meet some of my closest friends and now family and for that I will be forever grateful.”

Originally from Reading, George (He/Him) began dancing at the later age of 16 with FuzzyLogic youth company. During this time, he was toured original works nationally and performed with companies such as Zoonation and BoyBlue before starting his vocational training. George graduated from NSCD with a first-class honours’ degree in 2022, working with choreographers such as Mathieu Geffre, Akram Khan, and Douglas Thorpe along the way. Whilst in Leeds he has discovered newfound passions for Breakdance and teaching and is hoping to continue his development in these fields after his time with Verve 23.
