KATE McWILLIAM

Hello, my name is Kate and as well as being a tracueuse I am also an acrobat and a dancer.

I like to dabble in many disciplines but specialise in acrobatics, chinese pole and aerial hoop.
I grew up in Scotland and aged 16 began my training as a dancer. After completing a BA (Hons) in Dance I moved to London to continue my training as an acrobat. Three years later I graduated with a second BA (Hons) in Circus Arts.
Although specialised in Chinese Pole I now perform and teach multiple disciplines regularly and pride myself on being a versatile artist.

Performance highlights include the Got To Dance (finale) opening credits, the Nike Flyknit Launch and the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Torch Relay Tours.
I also worked on BBC One show Tumble as professional partner to actor and ex-Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan.
