Just a girl chasing her Dreams

  • Update

      5 June 2024

    Not long until I head to NYC for my scholarship with the John Cranko School - that they selected me to attend after seeing me compete in Sydney last year in the YAGP.

    I recently entered an online entry to the IBGP in Singapore Worldwide comp and came in the Top 10 - winning a scholarhip to attend The Festival of Arts in Singapore.

    My recent ballet exam went well & I achieved 'High Distinction' - which is the highest mark you can achieve.

    I attended the Australian Ballet Invitee Program in Melbourne recently and also flew to Wellington for a week with the NZSD, full time Classical Students.

    Life is very busy for me and I remain very focused as there is still a few other comps before the end of the year.

    Thank you once again for all your help and you can follow my journey on Instagram @rubyballerina

  • What a year

      18 January 2024

    Well I finished the year on a high.

    Won another scholarship to Australia and went in December to Annette Rosilli ballet academy.

    The head scout from the European school of ballet was there and I was selected to attend their summer intensive program for 3 weeks in 2024.

    I arrived home to an email - (I had competed in a competition in Sydney while I was there in September) and the top school in Europe have just seen my videos of me dancing and offered me a scholarship to attend their Summer school in New York this year. Super stoked!

    I have attached some photos of my production I danced in at xmas. Thank you all for your support!

    Hi, I just completed another 3 days down in Wellington with the NZSD in the associates program.

    I have been quiet of late as I am focusing on my exam. It’s a pass or fail now. So I want to pass with good grades.

    After my exam I will be heading to Sydney for the Scholarship I won earlier this year to the Tanya Pearson Ballet academy. I am very excited.

    Thank you all that gifted me some money. I am sooo happy with my progress. This ability to engage these muscles helps hold positions while I dance and improve technique

    With some of the funds given, I was able to attend dance strength lessons. The 8weeks speak for themselves. So proud. This helps my technique immensely.
