My name is Claire, a Frenchwoman who has proudly made Scotland my home. Thirteen years ago, dance brought me to this beautiful country, and I’ve never looked back. I’m now a ballet dancer with Scottish Ballet, an inspiring company filled with incredible people who have become my Scottish family.

I have a deep love for the wilderness and the great outdoors here. Whether it’s standing on top of a Munro, swimming in a loch, or toasting marshmallows by a fire, these moments in nature bring me so much happiness. The landscapes of Scotland never fail to amaze me.

In December, I became the proud mother of little Olive. Motherhood has filled my life with joy, and I embrace the challenge of balancing the roles of dancer and parent. It’s a journey I approach with love, curiosity, and excitement for all that lies ahead.
