Tutor: Rosalie Hornung is a Senior Swans ballet tutor with an Associate Diploma in Classical Ballet from Cecchetti Ballet Australia (2024) and is an ACC-accredited tutor. She has been a Nurse Practitioner in Child & Youth since 2016, blending her medical expertise with her dance career. Since February 2022, Rosalie has taught classical ballet to young adults, adults, and seniors at Dance for Life Academy in Auckland, helping students of all ages develop their skills and passion for ballet.

A note from tutor:

Dear students, there is an assumption that students in Open class understand the foundational principles of movements of ballet (plie, tendu, degages/jete, etc). Participating in a ballet class with no understanding of these principles of movement poses a risk to your safety.

Rosalie would like to encourage new students who have never done any ballet previously to either; enrol in our Beginners class at 9am or purchase the Dance For Life Academy Adult Ballet Online Programme to work through the foundational principles at home.

Community Service Card and Gold Card holders discount:

We are pleased to extend a special 10% discount to Community Service Card and Gold Card holders. When enrolling, simply select the applicable discount option, and during checkout, enter your membership number to validate and apply the discount.
