A critically acclaimed British dancer and choreographer, born in 1990 in Newcastle upon Tyne, Eliot Smith is the founder and creative director of Eliot Smith Dance (ESD).

Eliot was shortlisted for One Dance UK's People's Choice Award in 2018 and won The Green Dance Award in 2022 for ESD. Eliot was also nominated for their Dance Personality of The Year in 2019. He is continuously supported and commissioned by leading UK dance agencies, venues and funding organisations.

His artistic inspiration for his diverse portfolio of work is created using traditional techniques (Martha Graham based), and through his collaboration with award-winning composers, musicians, and designers, he aims to create works that are dynamic, diverse, and relevant.

His dance works, whether arranged for stage, outdoors, or non-traditional venues, have all toured extensively across the North of England and other parts of the UK, and further afield, with performances in Paris, New York and Rome.
