She trained at the BRIT School, before studying Musical Theatre at Doreen Bird College, receiving a first-class BA (Hons) Degree. She has completed The LABAN GUILD Creative Dance course and is a trained PARA Dance inclusive dance instructor.

Francesca enjoys using historical dances to examine what a particular period has to offer an actor in terms of access to the world they wish to inhabit but also hopes that by examining the dances and stories from the past this will spark inspiration for new stories to develop.

Francesca enjoys making dance inclusive and accessible for all and has combined her practice as a performer with workshop leading, teaching and community outreach projects.
