Young 1’z Member Story

Sean Harrigan joined the Young 1’z and showed a natural talent and passion for dance. Sean attended class every week and was keen to take any opportunities that were offered to him. Sean progressed to volunteer at two other youth classes and developed his skills at inviting others to enjoy dance in the way that he did.

Sean was a committed volunteer and due to his enthusiasm and hard work he was offered an apprenticeship with the company. Sean progressed from the Young 1’z to volunteering to then becoming a permanent member of staff. Sean represents a brilliant example of the progression routes available within Indepen-dance.
