Play a piece of music and I want to move!

Born in the United Kingdom, my early ballet training was with the Madeleine Sharp School of Dancing. In 1974 I performed with Madeleine Sharp’s school in front of Queen Elizabeth II at the opening of The Royal Academy of Dance headquarters in Battersea. I then went on to receive an RAD Scholarship and completed my training at The Royal Ballet School in London. I went on to dance professionally in both the UK and Europe. Since retiring from the stage, my desire to stay healthy and keep my body moving efficiently led to my career branching out into the Health and Fitness arena. In addition to my ballet and adult ballet teaching, I am a Silver Swans® Licensee as well as a Certified Professional in Personal Training, Animal Flow and Group Fitness Training. I gain great enjoyment from sharing my love of ballet and assisting others in their quest for a healthy body and mind and I trust that my enthusiasm is contagious.

You can read a little more about my ballet journey on the Royal Academy of Dance website. I was invited to contribute to their RAD Voices project to celebrate 100 years of the RAD.

“What do I wear for class?”

We often get asked ‘What do I wear for class?” You have the freedom to wear whatever you are comfortable moving in or if you feel like stepping into the studio wearing something more dance related, we have developed Butterfly Dancewear with your needs in mind.

Our unique designs are body friendly. We understand that every body is different, so we make soft shapes and generous cuts with forgiving waists, for comfort as well as style.

We are located in Otautahi, Aotearoa / Christchurch, New Zealand, where most of our garments are made.
