Burrows is a founder visiting member of faculty at P.A.R.T.S Belgium and has for many years been a regular collaborator for Jonzi D’s Back To The Lab hip hop theatre mentoring project at Breakin’ Convention, Sadler’s Wells London. He is the author of 'A Choreographer's Handbook' (Routledge) and ‘Writing Dance’ (Varamo Press, 2022), and is currently Associate Professor at the Centre for Dance Research, Coventry University.
