June has taught Dance, Theatre, Composition, Performance, and Dance for the Camera, Collaborative Practices, Theory, Dance Analysis and Dance History in Further and Higher Education, including teaching A and AS levels at Blackburn College and seven years lecturing on degree programs in the Department of Performing Arts at University of York St John where she was Head of Dance from 2001 -2003.

As well as teaching Dance students, June specialises in teaching inexperienced dancers and inspiring all students to discover personal ways of moving which reveal their individual abilities and personal contributions to the dance making process.

June trained in Limon and Graham techniques. She studied Ballet, Yoga and meditation for many years and has had training in release and body-mind centring techniques. She teaches body centred dance classes which combine elements of these techniques with a strong emphasis on personal discovery of individual movement responses through improvisation and experimentation, somatic awareness and using visualisation and experiential anatomy.

June’s choreography classes and workshops lead to discovering movement from experience, using physical memory, response to location, improvisation and exploring and experimenting with structure and compositional crafting. She encourages students to discover individual vocabularies and to direct experimentation through to performance, June specialises in collaborative practices.

Her video workshops focus on experimentation with the camera and editing processes, combining explorative approaches with sound and established filming practices.
