 Our cover artist is the absolutely incredible Reed Luplau. 23 year old Reed is currently living in New York, working with Aszure Barton. Having already choreographed for Sydney Dance Company, which he joined as a dancer at the age of 19, Reed is undertaking an incredible journey to find passion and inspiration overseas.

Of the struggle to find work in a new country, Reed says “I always loved those movies where (its so cliché) the struggling dancer comes into town and tries to make it.” And we have no doubt that he will!

 Also in this issue are amazing pics from the Australian Ballet’s Dyad 1929, great advice from our resident experts on how to fuel your body and how to get in touch with it, plus awesome dance fashion and a wicked hip hop 5,6,7,8!
