PERFORMER | MOVEMENT DIRECTOR
Michelle Hughes
Hi there, I’m Michelle
A professional dancer and movement director based in London & Cape Town
Originally from a farm in the Karoo, South Africa, I’m a versatile dancer trained in ballet, modern, jazz and commercial styles such as hip hop, heels and jazz funk. I’m currently represented by Twisted Casting Agency in the UK and Cover Model Management in SA.
Over the years I have gained experience whilst performing for live stage, recording artists, music videos, festivals, television adverts and series with credits including Miley Cyrus, Black Mirror, Mercedes, Adidas, Tesco, Meerkat Movies and more.
Beyond having trained as a dancer in cities like New York and LA, I obtained a degree in film and media specialising in screen production from the University of Cape Town and have used my knowledge both behind and in front of the camera as a movement director for stills and video production. I have worked with artists, actors and models to create work for brands, adverts and music videos.
I continuously draw inspiration from my upbringing and travels which deeply impact my creative practice and work as a professional in the entertainment industry.
