Jade Elward
“Strive to do your best and you will achieve all your goals.”

Jade is a performing artist with 24 years of experience teaching dance, acrobatics, pole, aerial lyra, flexibility and balance. She started dancing at Top Jazz Ballet at four and danced until she was 16, learning jazz, tap, ballet and acrobatics. She won her first acro solo at just eight, performed at Disneyland and Universal Studios at 15, and began teaching dance and acrobatics at 12.

At 17 she began training in pole and aerial lyra and became an instructor, which led to seven years in Dubai instructing, performing, designing costumes and choreographing. She has performed at the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Formula 1 Dubai, Comic Con, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, the NEC Birmingham and Morocco, and performed aerial lyra in the UK production The Greatest Showman 360.

In 2020 she moved to Portugal and started her own performance company with her duo partner. Business was booming until Covid forced them to close and come home.

Back in Australia, Jade is a Certified International Master Trainer who trains instructors around the world. She has performed at the Perth Fringe Festival, guest-starred at the WA Pole Championships, and in 2024 won the Amateur Pole Unity Championship. She performs regularly at the Telethon Street Carnival and the Perth Winter Festival.

"Being on stage is a passion only other performers will understand. Strive to do your best and you will achieve all your goals."
