Vicki tells us about taking her own advice, andhow she first got her groove on.Vicki Igbokwe-Ozoagu is the founder and joint CEO of Uchenna, an international touring dance company. Her work in theatre as a choreographer and movement director includes productions at Leeds Playhouse, Regents Park Open Air Theatre, Greenwich and Docklands International Festival, National Youth Theatre, Royal Court and more. She created Uchenna’s four touring shows: Our Mighty Groove, The Head Wrap Diaries, Hansel and Gretel and The Head Wrap Diaries – Fierce and Free.
