Teachers

 

Miss Renee PaullHi. For those of you who don’t me, I have been dancing now for over 20 years and for 5 years taught for surrounding local schools, before opening Leeuwin College in 2004.  I have also taught Contemporary and Jazz at Busselton Senior High School as a specialist teacher. I received my Teacher’s qualification for C.S.T.D in 2004 and this is the syllabus I will be teaching in Jazz, Tap, Acrobats and Theatrical classes. The ballet syllabus I will be teaching is known as Cecchetti Ballet. I currently hold my Associate with Cecchetti Ballet and am now working towards my Associate diploma.  I have had the pleasure of working with Chrissie Parrot and the South West Opera Company in performances and tuition from specialist teachers such as Jane Diamond, Lucette Aldous, David Pruhdam and Colin Peasley.

Miss Gizelle Salame Gizelle has a dancing career spanning over 30 years. She studied and completed exams in the C.S.T.D syllabus and has been teaching dance for the past 21 years in WA, ACT and NSW. During her career she has worked closely with many characters in live stage shows including Marty (Madagascar), Puss in boots, and The Cat in the Hat. And most recently in January 2023 “The Bungles”. She has also worked on many local productions as Choreographer and Stage Manager directing Junior Groups. She is currently studying a diploma in Dance Movement Therapy and is looking forward to sharing her skills and talents with Leeuwin.
When she is not teaching dance or instructing Zumba she may be seen coordinating the vacation care program or relief teaching in local schools.
