Owner, director & teacher

favourite style of dance

I love all styles of dance as they are unique and have their own challenges and skill sets. I especially love teaching jazz, our Little Wings (Kindy) program & our Performance Teams.

Favourite food

I love most food, especially if it is fresh or home cooked. I have a soft spot for Asian cuisine as it reminds me of my family in Sydney and my heritage.

Anything else we should know about you

I have grown up and lived in Maleny since I was 4 with my parents and little sister Eliza. The Sunshine Coast Hinterland feels like home and I am so excited to keep nurturing the love of dance in others.

Why do you teach?

I love teaching dance because it allows me to help others discover and nurture their passion for movement. There’s nothing more rewarding than being part of a dancer’s journey—watching them grow, thrive, and achieve their goals. I’m also incredibly grateful to work alongside an experienced team dedicated to developing not only strong, technical dancers but also kind, confident, and passionate individuals.
