As a solo dance artist, Isabella has hosted dance workshops for all ages and abilities.  Dance Dance Isolation was created in collaboration with the Creative City Centre. DDI is a virtual dance class to encourage folks to keep dancing through the lonely winter months exacerbated by pandemic isolation. 

Most recently, Isabella choreographed and performed her first solo work as a member of the emerging dance artist ensemble for ‘Unravel & Thread’.  A double billed FadaDance show featuring emerging dance artists and the FadaDance Youth Company.
