TEACHING

I believe that everyone can dance. As a late starter, I have gotten to where I am by working methodically to understand how the body moves. This better enables me to support dancers at all stages in mastering dance technique.

​

My practice is informed by the dialogue between contemporary and traditional approaches to movement, including ballet, Countertechnique, Alexander Technique, release technique, Gaga, yoga and pilates. In ballet, I have trained with teachers such as Denise Nunn and Beverley Bagg. I have trained in the Vaganova method under Sergey Pevnev at Pevnev Ballet Academy (Perth, 2019), and in RAD technique under Ong Long at Singapore Ballet Academy (2002-8). In contemporary, I have danced with the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company Dance Journey (Israel, 2019/20) and Ev & Bow (Sydney, 2018). 

​

I teach ballet, contemporary dance, including improvisation techniques, and related fitness & conditioning (pilates/yoga/barre/fusion classes). I have taught a variety of ages and abilities, from 3 and up, including private conditioning classes tailored to older adults. I am familiar with the Zoom platform for online classes.
