🖤✨ CSOD Alumni Spotlight | Welcome Home, Imogen Chen! ✨🖤

From CSOD student to international performer, we're so excited to welcome Imogen Chen back to the studio this week!

After growing up dancing right here at CSOD, Imogen continued her training at the prestigious Tanya Pearson Academy before being selected for the renowned Sydney Dance Company Pre-Professional Year.

Since then, she has built an incredible career performing throughout Asia and Europe as a commercial and heels dancer, working across a wide range of professional productions and performance opportunities. 🌏✨

Now home for a short visit, Imogen is returning to her dance home to share her knowledge, experience, and passion with the next generation of CSOD dancers. 💫

With a wealth of expertise across contemporary, cabaret, and commercial styles, Imogen will be inspiring and challenging our Senior students this Monday and Tuesday.

There is something truly special about seeing former students return to the studio that helped shape their journey. We can't wait for our dancers to learn from someone who once stood exactly where they are today. 🖤

Welcome home, Imogen! ✨
