Izzi Williams

I am an experienced Ballroom and Latin dance practitioner and former competitor with a lifelong dedication to the art, having competed at the prestigious Winter Gardens in Blackpool since the age of six.

In 2023, I founded Foxtrot Oscar with a clear mission: to dismantle the outdated hierarchies and exclusionary practices often found in the traditional dance world. Having witnessed the impact of gatekeeping and gender imbalances first hand, I am determined to redefine ballroom as a safe, inclusive, and equitable space.

In the corporate sphere, I translate this mission into 'Sessions of Vitality' that focus on Radical Inclusion and Dynamic Communication. My workshops strip away the 'old-fashioned' tropes of ballroom – such as gender-coded roles and passive participation – and replace them with a modern focus on mutual trust, non-verbal consent, and shared leadership.

By using dance as a laboratory for social connection, I help corporate teams build a stronger social fabric where every individual – regardless of identity – feels empowered to lead, follow, and move with confidence.
