25.01.2022 We’re so excited to announce our Jazz and Contemporary teacher, Danielle Wiles! Danielle began dancing at just 3 years old at her local ballet school before she transitioned her dance training to Mathis Dance Studios in 2009. Upon completing year 12 she continued into Full Time Dance studies at Ministry of Dance before completing her Certificate 4 in Dance Teaching at Transit Dance. She has been teaching various styles of dance for 10 years and loves sharing her passion for d...ance to others. Danielle has been a part of University (Deakin Dance Club 2012-2014) and Allstar (Mathis Dance 2015-2019) competition teams and has trained in many different styles in her dance career. Her biggest dance accomplishment was representing Australia at the USASF Dance World Championships, Florida, with Mathis Studios in 2015, 2017 and 2019. Danielle retired from dance after 2019 Worlds to start her own family- but not even being 3 months pregnant could stop her from completing her Advanced 2 Ballet Examinations! Now that she has returned from maternity leave, Danielle can't wait to get back into teaching what she loves! Here’s Danielle’s message to everyone: I am so excited to be involved with the growth and development of ACU dance club and look forward to meeting all of our students in the coming weeks.

My name is Chloe, I’ve been dancing for around 19 years in a wide range of styles, and I am super excited to be part of ACU Melbourne’s new Dance Club as your committee Secretary! While I have focussed on recreational dance, I have a history of performing in recitals and musical productions, and made my competition debut in pole dancing. I’m currently studying my Masters in Psychology (Ed & Dev), and am looking forward to getting back on campus and getting involved in our new dance classes on offer.

15.01.2022 Introducing our Vice President... Jade! Hi I’m Jade, I started dancing when I was 5 but in the last couple of years I’ve been on and off with classes just because of school and sticking more with cheerleading which I use to do at the same time as dance but I didn’t have enough time to balance everything. Thankfully now since ACU offers cheerleading and dancing clubs it makes it easier to commit to both, so I can’t wait for classes to start as I’ve really missed dancing!! I’m in my second year of studying a bachelor of psych science/exercise & sports science which I really enjoy but maybe not as much recently with the current situation This is my first time in a committee position but as the VP of our newly formed club I’m excited to be apart of us growing and evolving

06.01.2022 Hey folks! I’m Tasmia, the social media manager for ACU’s Melbourne Dance Club. I’m studying Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Global Studies and a Diploma of Languages (Spanish). Unlike the rest of the team who have amazing dance backgrounds, I’ve only been dancing for about a year. After being scared about taking a dance class for years, I finally took the leap of faith around this time last year at my former uni’s dance club, and it’s been a life-changing experience as salsa an...d bachata have grown to be a huge part of my life and happiness. So take me as testament that dance can be for everybody!! The team at Melbourne Dance Club are working hard to create something for all- no matter your skill level. I want salsa/bachata classes at ACU to be a thing, so come say hi if you’re interested in those dance styles so we can make it happen Even if they’re not your styles, come say hi regardless cos I’m new to ACU and need to make more friends

02.01.2022 Hey fellow dancers, dance enthusiasts, and curious cats- it's time to have the ACU Dance Club Melbourne page up and running. And what better way to start than by introducing our team manager for contemporary? Introducing ANNA!! "Hi everyone! My name is Anna and I'll be the contemporary team leader for the Melbourne dance club, my current dance style is contemporary although I have 9 years experience in rhythmic gymnastics competing nationally and internationally and 4 years e...xperience as a coach and choreographer. It was my dream from first year for this club to be established and I'm so glad that its finally happening, my main hope for this club is for it to be a space for everyone to have fun whether that's recreationally or competitively and to be able to walk into our dance space and feel that you can let off steam in a welcoming environment. A favourite movie of mine is a Russian one called 12 but there's an English version called 12 angry men and I am in my second year of studying nursing with the intention to become a nurse practitioner in the future. Can't wait to meet everyone and dance together!! See more
