More About Me

I have been dancing since I was three years old and performed on many stages where, I have had so many wonderful opportunities within the dance world. Through my younger years of dancing I was very lucky to be able to attend many wonderful competitions, such as the Cecchetti International Ballet Competition in Italy. I love performing and I have always had strong admiration for the artistic side of ballet. I have recently graduated from the Australian Ballet School with three diplomas of Classical Ballet and have now started my ballet coaching journey. I am now honoured to be on the teaching staff at The Australian Ballet School, teaching the ITP program. Through my dance training and opportunities I have had, I am excited to share the knowledge I have gained and deliver this through my artistic coaching program.

Artistry is the most important aspect of ballet and performance. Artistry is not only the way the dancer shows their emotion through their face but also how they move their body to deliver what they are feeling. Although artistry sometimes can be hard to develop, I have created a unique coaching program that works with dancers to gain confidence on stage allowing them to take their choreography and make it their own with the emotion they are needing to portray. I have always felt that everyone can find their artistry and connection to stage presence, my program will guarantee dancers to find ways of being able to express a new quality on stage.
