Within her three years at RCS, Layla has worked with many choreographers such as Constant Vigier, Maddy Squire and Daniel Davidson. She has also engaged in many performance opportunities including, performances at The Gleneagles Hotel, Modern Ballet Graduation shows, Scottish Ballet, and collaborations with the classical music and vocal performance department. Alongside her modern ballet studies, Layla has also taken an interest in other departments of the conservatoire. She has collaborated with the film and composition department and created her own work.
