To take New Zealand Ballet to the World and become an International Ballerina

Auckland

I have been offered a place at Jane Moore Academy of Ballet in Melbourne, after training at JMAB my plan is to come back and dance for Royal New Zealand Ballet.

Achievements to date:-

*Being offered a place at Jane Moore Academy of Ballet in Melbourne

*Being offered a place at Joffrey Ballet School in New York

*Being accepted into KMS Full time Dancer in Development Programme

*Distinction-all Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) graded and vocational exams

*Distinction-all British Theatre Dance Association (BTDA) exams, many with Platinum Awards for achieving over 90%

*Excellence in all subjects for NCEA

*Award for Excellence, RAD Advanced 1 seminar 2014

*Award for Excellence, RAD Intermediate Foundation seminar 2011

*Numerous 1st places in nationwide competitions aged 8 to present day

I leave home daily at 7am to attend my classes in Auckland. I return home around 6pm. In the evenings I study through correspondence for my NCEA. I also have a paid job on Saturdays to help with my tuition fees.

Where to from here:-

My hope is to raise enough money to be able to stay at Jane Moore Academy of Ballet and complete my training.

So that one day I can return and dance for Royal New Zealand Ballet. My training in Melbourne will cost approximately $25,000 per year (this includes my accommodation etc). At the end of my training I will be given the opportunity to audition for professional ballet companies and will hopefully be accepted into Royal New Zealand Ballet.

Thank you
