Kristy began her training in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Contemporary and Singing at the Kim Bowkett Dance Centre and later also attended the Queensland Dance School of Excellence. After graduating, she moved to Sydney to complete the Certificate IV Full-Time Performing Arts Course at Brent Street Studios, and then successfully auditioned for “The Wiggles” and worked as a character suit performer and dancer with the popular children’s group for the next 8 years. During this time she was lucky enough to tour many times through the USA, Canada, U.K, Asia, New Zealand and Australia, appear in numerous Wiggles TV series and DVD’s, perform on shows such as The View, Live with Regis and Kelly, The Late Late Show with Craig Fergusson, The Today Show in America and Australia, Sunrise, Carols in the Domain and take part in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC. Whilst travelling Kristy took the opportunity to train at some world renowned studios in New York, Los Angeles, London and Sydney and was inspired by all the brilliant, talented teachers and found her passion for creating her own choreography!
What do you enjoy about teaching?
I know that it can be scary and intimidating walking into a dance class, so I love seeing people conquering their fear, pushing their limits and most importantly, having fun! We’re all there for the same reason, we love to dance…
What can people expect in your class?
I really want people to relax and have a good time in my class. A good warm up is always important and then when it comes to the dance, it’s time to let go, feel the music and find your own style.
Fave quote?
“What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger” …. Also, “Why do I dance?… Why do I breathe?”
