'To every dancer that feels alone and misunderstood… we want you to know that Hallie heard you, and we hear you. Ignite Impat Foundation is more than an organisation. We are a community, a safe space for you to feel seen, and a reminder that dance is supposed to be your escape.’

Ignite Impact Foundation is a testament to the life and work of Hallie Mae Colquhoun. Starting her dance career at the prime age of 2, Hallie was no stranger to the shortcomings of the dance industry towards mental health and body positivity. Hallie had organised and planned to open Ignite Dance Space in Corby which would provide quality industry training whilst simultaneously promoting positivity through dance. Unfortunately, this dream was put on hold on 12th September 2023 when Hallie was taken far too soon in a fatal road traffic collision.

Through Ignite Impact Foundation, we will carry the legacy of Hallie Mae forward in ensuring we break the industry taboo of addressing mental health in dance, and educating vulnerable dancers about the importance of putting themselves first.
