About

I have loved ballet from when I was introduced to it at age 7, I love the physical activity, the challenges, the patterns of movement, the beauty for an audience and the feeling of moving through space.

​

I still participate in a class weekly myself, perform occasionally and continue to challenge and grow my understanding of the art.

​

I have been fortunate to have been trained by many dancers from the Royal Ballet and Royal Ballet School, these include Ann Jenner, Shelia Styles, Julia Farron, David Wall and Alfreda Thorogood. I have also been trained by many of Australia's revered teachers - Besty Sawers, Joanne Michel, Timothy Gordon, Dale Baker, Mary Renouf, Elaine Tasker, Joanne Aderly, Christine Howard and Alida Segal.

​

I feel fortunate to now be able to lead open classes to enable others to participate in their own journey. This could be as part of your professional schedule, the odd class for exercise/fitness/fun, or as part of your own journey of lifelong learning and mastery.​

Classes are open to dancers of all ages at the appropriate level.

​

Open Classes are held at Wellesley Studios in Auckland CBD on a Wednesday and Saturday.

Wellesley Studios are a custom-built dance complex with quality Harlequin flooring, full length mirrors, air conditioning and spacious changing rooms. Alternative studio's are occasionally used when Wellesley Studios is closed for holiday weekends and special events.

When I am unable to lead class myself, I provide quality quest teachers.
