National Director of DanceLife Australia Online Digital Media & DanceLife Unite National Elite Competition
“Like many of you, I have spent my whole life consumed by DANCE … as a student from a very young age to a teacher, choreographer and studio owner for 28 years … then as an agent, publisher & event manager dedicated to providing as many opportunities as possible for the next generation of dancers to learn, grow and become incredible future professionals. To say that my passion is DANCE is a complete understatement … DANCE IS LIFE! But it’s the PEOPLE that make all the DIFFERENCE! I feel honoured to share your passion for this incredible industry and look forward to sharing the magic of DANCELIFE UNITE with you and your students!
