Miss Kylie started dancing at the age of 3 in California in a small ballet class. After moving to Australia at the age of 5 her love for dance blossomed. Kylie completed many examinations achieving high results and competed in many competitions.
When she was in high school she was accepted into the Graduate College of Dance for a specialized dance program. In this time she learnt many life skills that she utilities today from such intensive training.
Wanting to take her training even further she undertook 3 years of full time study at Western Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). Since graduating in 2012 she has worked as a casual teacher and has done some paid shows for cooperate events.
Recently Kylie has become a qualified physiotherapist after studying at Curtin University. Kylie continues to share her knowledge and passion for teaching at Ambiance Dance whilst she starts her new career.

I began dancing at the age of five in ballet, jazz, tap and acrobatics. During the next ten years I spent most of my life at the studio and successfully competed CSTD exams and regularly competed in competitions around the state. As a teenager I auditioned and was selected to perform with Steps Youth Dance Company.
After a break from dancing (8 years!) at the age of 25 I found the courage to return to dancing and join the team at Ambiance. My love for performing was reignited and I have never looked back. I love working with young people and feel privileged to be able to watch them grow and shine. Dancing brings out the best version of myself and I look forward to helping you all to find the best version of you too.
Love Miss Alannah xox

Dancing has always been a part of my lifestyle and routine. I began dancing at the age of five doing Ballet, Jazz and Tap, then later on in my dancing journey picked up other genres such as Contemporary and Lyrical. Throughout my time as a dancer I spent many days rehearsing for exams at the studio which I always enjoyed doing. My favourite genre is Ballet, which resulted in the completion of many Classical exams through the Royal Academy of Dance. While studying Tap exams and CSTD Theatrical exams, I thoroughly enjoyed (and still do to this day) being amongst the excitement at competitions representing my school and just having fun with my team.
While my focus has been on doing a teaching degree, I couldn’t resist but to come back to dancing after graduating! This is where my journey began with Ambiance. My passion is to educate children of an Early Childhood age, so being able to incorporate dance into the skills I have learnt at university is a rewarding and exciting opportunity. I am committed to every child’s success and strive for greatness within each individual. With having a long history with dance and current teaching degree, I aim to share my love of dancing, knowledge and experiences with the young dancers of today.
I feel so blessed to have been recently welcomed into such a wonderful studio amongst successful experienced teachers and talented young students. I look forward to assist in teaching Ambiances littlest of dancers in 2018!
