About
DancePointe Academy's founding patrons Sir Jon Trimmer and his wife Lady Jacqui Trimmer
have a long legacy with Ballet in New Zealand both having danced with
The Royal New Zealand Ballet, Australian Ballet & Danish Ballet Companies
and Lady Trimmer was the Ballet Mistress for RNZB for many years.
Their guidance and input to DancePointe Academy is invaluable.
Sharon Vanesse the Principal is a former dancer of
Royal New Zealand Ballet and Staatstheater am Gartnerplatz in Munich.
The phrase "Dance like no one is watching" embodies for me the feeling of freedom and elation to be experienced when one looses one self in dance, and to have the opportunity to impart that to children is the vision that I bring to this academy. ARAD Solo Seal & BBO RT RAD (Silver Swans Reg) PBT RT

Sharon Vanesse - Principal
Teacher of Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, PBT Dance has been part of my life since a young child of 3.5 years of age when I would skip off happily to my first teacher who lived around the corner. In the past year I have included an Adults Beginners Ballet Class in the timetable of DancePointe Academy and I'm thrilled to say that it is such a joy to see how adults have embraced and responded to learning this beautiful art. Perhaps they didn't have the opportunity as a child to learn however its never too late. |
