Hi everyone! I’m Jess, the Director and teacher at First Position Ballet Academy.
Dance has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve trained in all styles of dance, with a particular love for teaching Ballet and Contemporary. After years of teaching across Australia and around Auckland, I’m so excited to create a welcoming ballet school here in Waimauku, where children can learn ballet through the world-renowned RAD syllabus in a friendly and supportive environment.
To me, ballet is about more than learning steps and technique. Through ballet, children can develop confidence, discipline, resilience, creativity, and the joy of performing - not to mention make friends for life. I believe ballet classes should feel encouraging, supportive, and inclusive.
Come and see us at the Waimauku War Memorial Hall and let your little one explore their first ballet steps with our three-class trial pack.
Learn more here or send me a message - I’d love to chat!
