Ethan Austin-Zande
Teacher
Dancing onboard with Princess Cruises as a dancer and magician's assistant for 5 years. It was a massive achievement of mine and included training in Hollywood and then travelling around the world including to the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Alaska and a crossing from Mexico to Australia.
I performed as a Rove Live's back up dancer for his parody film clip 'Oops I did it again. Auditioned successfully and performed in the musical Mack and Mabel with Caroline O'connor. Performed as a cheerleader/dancer/acrobat for Melbourne Storm for two seasons.
Training
II attended Sue Harvey and then DLDC as a child and teen in Brisbane where I competed in their eisteddfod teams and undertook RAD and ComDance exams. Completed two years full time at QDSE (Queensland ballet school) and then followed a performing arts path to Dance Factory in Melbourne where I did another two years full time and was lucky enough to win the scholarship for the second year.

Oh my, I don't have a favourite! I appreciate all the forms of dance and particularly watching well trained technical dancers that show beautiful clean lines and dance with musicality and dynamics.
