Introducing our amazing ballet/jazz/acro/contemporary teacher!!
BRYLEE
I grew up in Waihi Beach, where I spent most of my childhood dancing, doing gymnastics, and cheerleading. I’ve been dancing since I was four years old and completed all of my Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary examinations through ATOD.
I began teaching dance at just 16 years old and am now in my seventh year of teaching I’ve taught in waihi Tauranga and Te Kauwhata. I currently teach Ballet and Jazz exam classes, alongside Contemporary, Acro, and private lessons. My favourite parts are choreographing solos and contemporary routines! 💜
After high school, I moved to Hamilton to study at university, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Psychology with minors in Human Development and Dance. I then completed my APDA (Asia Pacific Dance Association) Dance Teaching Qualification, graduating with Honours with Distinction.
Throughout my dance journey, I was fortunate to perform at Disneyland in America which was an unforgettable experience. 💃🏼
I currently live in Auckland with my amazing flatmates. When I’m not teaching or choreographing dances in my lounge 🤣, you’ll usually find me working on TV and movie sets, auditioning and attending castings for creative projects, modelling for clothing brands and websites, or out walking dogs! I love that every day looks a little different for me and gives me the chance to keep learning and growing within the creative industry.
The thing I love most about teaching is building genuine connections with my students. My goal is to create a space that feels like a second home where they can grow in confidence, make lasting friendships, and develop a lifelong love of dance ❤️❤️
