Shellharbour, Wollongong

classes: Dance

I started dancing at the age of three, training in many different dance styles including ballet, contemporary, lyrical, tap, jazz and acrobatics.

I completed my Intermediate to Advanced RAD examinations with Distinction, Grade 1-5 Cecchetti examinations with Honours and achieved High Distinctions in my level 2-6 Glenn Wood Tap exams.

In 2011, I travelled to America and got to perform at Disneyland and Universal Studios and be taught by industry professionals at LA Dance centre.

In 2013, I commenced full-time dance training with Sydney Ballet School on a full scholarship where I focused on training in classical ballet, Martha graham contemporary, neon classical, pas de deux and variation coaching. I was lucky enough to be coached by former principal artists and well-respected choreographers and adjudicators including Madeleine Eastoe, Claire Phipps-Males, Josef Brown, Wim Broeckx, Gilli O’Connell, Tanya Pearson and Marie Walton-Mahon.

I was a finalist in the Isobel Anderson Awards in 2015, receiving 3rd Place for Advanced 1 and was offered a placement at the Australian ballet Interstate Training Program, Queensland Ballet School and the Dutch National Ballet School (HET).

At the age of 15, I started student teaching where I grew a love for expressing my passion for dance to others. Since moving to the Illawarra, I continued to develop my skills as a teacher and completed my Certificate IV in Dance Teaching and Management through the Australian College of Dance in 2018. In 2021 I commenced my AcroDance training and qualifications through Acrobaticarts and am now a certified teacher (AAC1) for Primary to Level 6.

I work with Fit Futures Australia and am going into my 5th year teaching with Amanda Lee school of dance.
