Polly trained professionally as a dancer at London Contemporary in 1992. Her career as a dancer was greatly interrupted after a back injury. Her life took a turn towards health care and she qualified as a Hearing & Balance Therapist. This profession opened up further avenues teaching her in depth about disability and deafness and mental health. A position as lecturer at Bristol University complimented her clinical work.

However, because of her initial identity as a dancer being the roots and foundation of who she is, and with the generosity and welcoming nature of her dancing friends she ventured back into the dancing world. With like minded artists 3rd Stage Dance Company begun. 3rd Stage Dance Company keeps dancers dancing, for dancers it's in the blood.That's just the way it is!
