She trained at Northern School of Contemporary Dance and works as a choreographer, performer, facilitator, movement direction, rehearsal director, and artist for dance and theatre companies on national and international stages.

Hayley’s interests lie within the body’s drive to move and our need to connect with others. She was awarded the Scottish Culture Award for Best Dance Performer in 2018.

As a choreographer, Hayley creates sensory-based theatre for the most extraordinary audiences including babies, early years, and disabled audiences with complex needs.

Hayley is driven to offer a safe space for everyone to thrive in movement and dance with a practice rooted in inclusivity and accessibility.

When she isn’t dancing, Hayley loves to explore Scotland in her campervan with husband Alex, and their dog, Woody.
