It seems that like all the onscreen "Bridgerton" sisters, Dodd possesses a wide variety of refined talents — dance chiefly among them.

"I've danced since I was two years old and I trained professionally for four years at professional dance school, I always wanted to be a professional dancer before going into acting. So, I do dance. I love dancing," she told Marie Claire UK in March 2021. Her dancing abilities earned her a part in "Find Me in Paris," for which she had to sharpen up her skills. "Any dancer reading this will understand that there is a difference between being a jazz dancer and an elite Paris Opera ballet dancer [like in "Find Me in Paris"], so I had to work extremely hard!" she said.

Dodd was the principal lead dancer in the 2014 Burberry Christmas Advert, which starred Romeo Beckham. She also studied dance theatre in college, finishing a dissertation on dance for the London Studio Centre in 2017.
