During her junior grades she received Honors 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’.

Tash is a dedicated teacher with over five 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.

Although she loves and has trained in all styles of dance; Contemporary, Ballet and Jazz are among her favourites and she hopes she can pass on her knowledge and passion to her students.
