Meet Lily
Founder of FORME | Dance Educator | Former Professional Dancer
I’m a former dancer, teacher and the founder of FORME.
Over the years, I’ve seen how much can change when a dancer has the time to really understand a correction. Not just what to change, but why, how it should feel and how to apply it.
I created FORME to provide that space alongside a dancer’s existing training, helping them build strong foundations and take greater understanding back into the studio.

TESTIMONIALS
“Lily helped me understand the technical aspects of how properly fitted pointe shoes should look and feel. With her guidance, I have been able to stop relying on the very thick silicone toe pads I’ve used for years and find shoes that truly support me, with only minimal padding. I now feel much more stable over the box, connected to the floor, and confident in my dancing”
“Lily was incredibly thorough and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the fitting process. She encouraged me to speak openly about what I was feeling, which made all the difference. Together, we found a pair of shoes where for the first time I didn’t feel pressure on my big toe, and I felt fully supported through the arch without any sinking or collapsing. I learned so much during my fitting! ”
