Interview with local Brighton and Hove Magazine with Lee Smikle about the opening of Smikle Space.
What is your background?
Originally from Yorkshire, I started dancing at the late age of nineteen. I didn't even know that dance could be a potential career choice. A chance visit to my local theatre led me to get a part-time job there where I got to see live theatre, musicals and dance regularly. I saw acclaimed companies like Northern Ballet and Alvin Ailey. I signed up for ballet classes, and the rest is history.
