Notes

In the 1980s Janine juggled careers as both a Primary School Teacher and Private Studio Dance Teacher. "I found myself choreographing a new Jazz syllabus, then becoming President of Southern Federation of Dance, which led to work as a choreographer, dance examiner, producer, MC, adjudicator, teacher-trainer and mentor." She also created an original program for Pre-schooler Dance. On both international and national stages, and arena shows she's worked as a choreographer and dance consultant. Riverdance (1998), Cavalcade - Reins of Fire (2005), Madiba The Musical (2018 & 2019), and Fast Love - a Tribute to George Michael (2018 & 2019). In 2001 & 2002 Janine lectured in Dance & Drama at Victoria University in the School of Human Movement, Recreation & Performance. Her passion for storytelling as an actor was reignited after three decades of running successful dance schools. With extensive experience in dance performance, education, and stage production Janine brings an array of professional skills to her projects. Janine has a full Driver's Licence, Passport and Working With Children Check and has studied anatomy & CPR.
