PoLing Katherine Wong

Description

I'm trained in classical ballet, jazz, contemporary and musical theatre. I can choreograph, sing, act, teach, present and host activities.
I choreographed 4 shows when I worked as a choreographer at a French holiday village in 2020. They are a musical show, a rock and roll show and two cabaret shows. They are all my own choreography and can be rehearsed and ready in a short period of time.

Biography

Dancing is my passion in life and being a dancer had always been my dream since I was four. I have the honour to work with a number of international choreographers over the years and have taken part in full scale theatre productions with various companies.
I worked at Nidd Hall, Warner Leisure Hotels, from February 2014 to March 2016 as a dancer / singer / entertainer / dance captain / team leader. Being the dance captain and team leader, I was in charge of rehearsals and show related issues. From hosting activities, presenting on the microphone and socializing with the guests, I gained con ... fidence in presenting and developed an outgoing personality as well as interpersonal skills.  I won the first prize in ''most mentioned team member in online surveys'' as well as second prize in ''best team member of the month''. I had my 45 minutes singing cabarets once a week and speaking roles in two pantomimes, Aladdin and Cinderella.
I worked as a choreographer at a French holiday village in 2020. I produced four shows for a team of eighteen members, including a musical show, a rock and roll show and two cabaret shows. I choreographed all the numbers, wrote the scripts, edited the music, decided the costumes, rehearsed with the team, and danced as a main dancer.
I'm currently a dancer in a touring theatre show, 80's Mania, performing in theatres all over the UK. Read More
