Following the end of her partnership with Astill, Lanaghan decided to switch to the ice dancing discipline at the suggestion of her pairs coaches. She had a brief partnership with fellow British ice dancer, Joseph Buckland.[2]

Lanaghan/Razgulajevs were assigned to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Skate Canada International, but the event was cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.[4]
