Would you prefer Private more focused Dance Tuition ?
Can't make general dance classes have you considered private lessons at a time that suits you ?
I conduct private lessons in classical ballet and associated dance styles at Merrimac on the Gold Coast - the lessons are designed with the individual student's needs in mind whether you are an actor singer skater acrobat or dancer and want to improve your skills I have the experience and qualifications to help you and would love to pass on my skills
A favorite of mine is original Choreography for performance
I moved from Melbourne to Queensland after working as a professional dancer on The Graham Kennedy and IMT shows Don Lane - Ugly Dave Gray - Ernie Sigley - Bert Newton at channel 9 -The Mike Walsh show at Channel 7 also a series on Channel 2 seasons featuring such various artists as Matt Flnders . Jill Perryman . Karmal . Nancye Hayes and Denise Drysdale to name a few
I danced and sang in the professional stage shows King and I - Carousel - Sweet Charity
Some of my previous students have done well appearing in Channel 2's Countdown , stage shows such as Chorus Line - Cats - Australian Ballet School and the Australian Ballet Company others have gone on to dance in companies overseas teaching and performing around the world

I completed my RAD and Cecchetti qualifications while running Ballet Centre Dandenong in Melbourne during this time as a teacher I studied in New York at the American Ballet and Conservatoire of Dance for Classical - Alvin Ailey for Contemporary and Blacks for Jazz and Musical Theatre

I believe a strong technique is the key to a long lasting career so If you feel I can be influential in assisting you in your chosen art form or you have any questions I would love to hear from you please contact me by e-mail or mobile
