Miss Tash has been dancing for over 20 years covering all styles of dance while under the guidance of some of Australia’s most prestigious dance teachers and choreographers. From a young age Tash was involved in all things dance, performing at the DET schools spectacular, touring in Queensland for the Showcase Nationals Dance Competition in which she was in the top placing’s, and entering into many eisteddfods both as a soloist and as a part of a Jazz troupe as well as doing student choreographies and improvisation in Contemporary and Classical Ballet.

Tash has entered into many ballet exams from the tender age of 5 covering both the B.A.L (Ballet Australasia Limited) and R.A.D (Royal Academy of Dance) syllabus. During her junior grades she received Honours with distinction, the highest mark possible and then later sat her Senior Ballet exams, training up to an Advanced Foundation level.

Whilst at school she had the privilege of being taught by leading Contemporary choreographer Jason Winters, where she undertook dance as an elective for her HSC at Ecole Ballet and Theatre. As well as this, she voluntarily taught dance at a local primary school, catering to all ages and abilities and also choreographed her former high school’s musical production, ‘Back to the 80’s’ and ‘Grease.’

Since the age of 10 she always dreamt of owning a dance studio and made it her mission to make her dream a reality. At the age of 14 she started assistant dance teaching at a local dance studio and after developing her skills both as a dance teacher and manager, she opened up dance classes for children in the North Shore area in February of 2016. Since that time, Future Gems has grown to be a well-known and respected dance studio and has seen many students grow in confidence over the years.

Tash has completed a Certificate IV in Dance Teaching & Management, giving her valuable skills and knowledge in how to teach dance safely and correctly. She is currently studying a Diploma of Counselling majoring in childhood development, mindfulness and expressive therapies. In addition to this she has certifications in ‘Progressing Ballet Technique’,  Acrobatic Arts, Rainbow Kids Yoga and is also a certified reiki practitioner.

Tash is a dedicated teacher with over 13 years teaching experience. From a very young age it has been her dream to teach and nurture children, and allow them to create a passion and dream of their own. She finds that being a teacher is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding careers as every day she is able to see the children grow; both as dancers and people. Although she loves and has trained in all styles of dance; Contemporary, Jazz, JFH and Ballet are among her favourites and she hopes she can pass on her knowledge and passion to her students.
