I'm the director of Brisbane's CJS Dance Academy - a dance school catering for students aged 2-18 offering classes in classical ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, acrobatics and musical theatre.

Given my strong background in arts journalism and dance reviewing - combined with my dance experience -  I am available for competition and eisteddfod adjudication. Find out more about my story here, download my CV below or click here to visit the CJS Dance Academy YouTube channel.
