Academy Update

We would like to introduce Ms Maddy to the Academy. Maddy is a passionate dancer and dance teacher. As a dancer, she has been trained in RAD Ballet, ISTD Modern and Tap, and Rambert contemporary techniques. In 2020 she was awarded the Excellence in Create Industries scholarship at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) where she commenced her Tertiary dance training. In 2022 she graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Dance Performance) with Distinction. As an emerging professional artist, she is passionate about inspiring and mentoring the younger generation of dancers.

The below image is of Maddy being coached by Teraza Theodoulou at the ISTD Teachers Workshop that took place over the Easter Holidays in Sydney. Teraza is ISTD’s Lead Lecturer, Choreographer, Senior Examiner and International Ambassador.

Ms Maddy is Assistant Jazz teacher at the Academy and will be present in all classes run by Ms Vanessa.  She is also working with the Junior Jazz Performers who will be guest performers at the Dance Awards this year.
