ELLEN KANE - Choreographic Supervision

Ellen co-ordinates and supervises all dance aspects of Billy Elliot – The Musical, but particularly concentrates on the training programmes for each boy that plays Billy and re-creates the choreography for each Billy’s “Electricity”. She has also reconstructed the choreography for the Royal Variety Performance and for the video of Elton John’s single Electricity.

Ellen trained on a scholarship at the London studio centre. Since graduating she has worked as a freelance performer, teacher, assistant and associate choreographer. She performed for several contemporary dance companies before joining the Richard Alston Dance company in 2000, where she remained for over three years.

Ellen has taught in most major dance colleges both in London and internationally. Her first role as assistant choreographer was to Petra Siniawski, the director of the jazz company at London
Studio Centre. More recently Ellen has been working as an assistant/Associate to both Peter Darling, helping create the choreography and train the original three Billys, and on several projects with Anthony van Laast – most recently 3 Musketiere in Berlin.
