Joe Powell-Main

Joe Powell-Main is a Wales-based freelance disabled dancer and choreographer specialising in classical ballet. Before acquiring his disability Joe trained at the Royal Ballet School for three and a half years. After a sustained period of growth, injuries and being involved in a car accident, he acquired his disability, having to leave the Royal Ballet School and stopping dance for around three years.

Joe returned to dance first through Latin and Ballroom competitions and then furthering his training through a performing arts course at college and then a degree in Dance and Performance at The Arden School of Theatre in Manchester. Since graduating with a First-Class degree Joe has collaborated with various leading UK ballet companies such as Ballet Cymru, The Royal Ballet, Northern Ballet and most recently led his own research and development project as both a choreographer and dance artist in collaboration with Scottish Ballet.

Joe continues to champion inclusive dance through his performance, teaching and Charity patronship.
