Ruby Portus is a UK based dancer, choreographer and movement director. Performance credits include DeNada Dance Theatre (Carlos Pons Guerra) Southpaw Dance Company, Corey Baker Dance (Birmingham Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony 2022), Extended Play, Sita Ostheimer and Liz Aggiss. Ruby particularly loves performing in works that are politically engaged and that incorporate big, juicy physicality, character work and humour.

Ruby’s choreography playfully combines movement, character work and her continuous drive to save the world. She has created commissioned works for Sadler’s Wells, Good Chance Theatre’s “The Walk” and Northern School of Contemporary Dance as well as her own Arts Council England funded projects.

Ruby is a graduate of London Contemporary Dance School and VERVE at Northern School of Contemporary Dance. She was also an inaugural Young Associate at Sadler’s Wells.
