Classically British: Mark Elie

Classically British: Mark Elie

There are few languages that truly universal and one them is the language of dance, travelling, connecting and communicating all across the world.
In this episode I spoke to the Artistic Director and Founder of The Portobello Dance School Mark Elie, where classical and contemporary dance is taught up and coming British talent.
We discussed his journey of over 4 decades  in Classical Ballet, which saw him working and studying in the UK, US and Portugal.
Today Mark champions Black British Ballet with events such as 'Classically British', in addition to providing a platform for the next generation to fulfil their ambitions at his school situated in the famous Notting Hill.
