Experience: Diploma of Professional Pilates Practice, Certificate IV in Dance Teaching (Classical), Certificate IV in Workplace Training and Assessing. I have been working in the Dance Industry for over 25 years, first as a professional dancer in the 80’s, working mainly in Europe at the Lido, on German and Dutch television, Chesse Rijs Dance Co to name a few. On my return to Australia in the early 90’s I taught at Sydney Dance Company, Sydney University, Bodenweisers and the Aboriginal Dance Theatre at Redfern. I assisted with the Jazz syllabus development and the development of the inclusion of Pilates exercises in the Australian Dance Assessment Syllabus. I have run my own dance school on the Northern Beaches since 1994. I have just returned from New York and Washington, where I attended a 4 day intensive course on Pilates for Dancers, taught by Karen Clippenger MA Ex Sc. I am available to run teacher workshops, pilates matwork for dancers, and/or private or semi-private equipment based pilates sessions. These sessions are suitable for dancers who want to improve their technique and control, and for dancers that need help rehabilitating from injury.
Availability: I am available any day for a one off, but am only available during school hours for a regular spot, and would prefer a Wednesday. If people are interested in equipment classes they will need to come to Brookvale.
