“Life is an audition, and you never know who's watching.”
I started dancing at TJB when I was four and trained there until I was 18. Then I moved over east to study full-time dance at Lee Academy, where I completed my Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma. Those three years were full of blood, sweat and tears, while I auditioned, took corporate gigs and taught at three dance schools.
During full time I was part of a company called Akrobatica. We auditioned for Australia's Got Talent and made it to the grand final, with two golden buzzers along the way. It was an epic experience.
After graduating I was offered a place in the touring circus cabaret "Infamous". This is where "life is an audition" comes in: three years earlier I'd filled in for Holly Targett in the same show for two weeks, and that's how I got the job. I spent three years with them, travelling Australia and the USA and getting paid to do what I love.
Now I've closed that chapter and I'm moving on to the next dream: LA. Life is an audition, and you never know who's watching.
Most importantly, listen to your teachers. Everything Miss Helen, Miss Angela and all my TJB teachers taught me has stuck with me, and I wouldn't be where I am today without them. For that I'm thankful every day.
