Meet The Unit: The Maltese all-female dance crew

Oct 21 2020

The Unit is a dance collective founded in 2017 by Deedee Clark, Kimberly Lowell, Leanne Vella, Nicole Schembri and Deedee Clark.

They have worked with many local artists such as Ira Losco, Emma Muscat, The Travellers and on various local shows namely X Factor and Malta’s Got Talent, putting their best foot forward for each and every project.

The Unit is a collaborative collective meaning they outsource dancers and creatives as necessary, depending on what the project requires. Deedee, Nicole and Leanne teach as freelancers in different schools but The Unit themselves have a unique take on teaching as they do not provide classes as a group. On occasion, Deedee and Nicole offer workshops in commercial and lyrical styles as one-offs for anyone who is willing to learn from them under The Unit brand.

This all-female managed group offers services such as choreography, creative direction, stage direction and performance too, tapping into multiple sectors of the entertainment industry while providing a fresh outlook on collaboration and team work.
