” I was raised in Lismore and went to the’ Karen Ireland Dance Centre’ then I was accepted into the Australian Ballet School in Melbourne at 14, moved away from home for 5 years and graduated last year. I’ve come home this year because I’m injured and doing rehab! I’ve just had a bone taken out of my foot, so in the meantime whilst I’m recovering, I’m working at ‘The Pantry’ in Eltham to make some money and hopefully next year I can go overseas and audition for ballet companies. I have to go overseas because I’m too tall to dance in Australia. They have much shorter girls in their companies here whereas overseas they often prefer taller dancers so that’s where I’ll have to go.”” I was raised in Lismore and went to the’ Karen Ireland Dance Centre’ then I was accepted into the Australian Ballet School in Melbourne at 14, moved away from home for 5 years and graduated last year.
