    Damien

    Damien began his training at the age of six, at Theatre Arts Mackay under the direction of Lynette Denny. Starting with tap, he then moved onto all styles including Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Acrobatics, Drama and Singing. After completing his CSTD Gold Cross and RAD Intermediate exams he then moved to Melbourne to train at the Australian Ballet School. Here he also performed various roles with the Company. Damien’s first full time dance job was with Princess Cruises, which resulted in a few fill in contracts in the years that followed. In between these Damien worked as a commercial dancer for ads in Taiwan, Star Struck on Ch 9, The Helpmann Awards as well as two contracts with Opera Australia. He also spent some time in England performing an U.K Tour of Copacabana and as Dance Captain for Potters Theatre Company. As well as teaching the full time students at Bartuccio’s in Melbourne, Damien had the opportunity to assist the Choreographer at Potters Theatre Company. He has also spent some time teaching Ballroom and Latin after spending a year and a half in training, which led him and his dance partner to choreograph a piece for Short, Sweet and Dance 2007 & 2009. He was also in the musical ‘Las Vegas Confidential’ in 2008, and has been a dancer for Robyn Loau. Damien has also performed in the Adelaide, Sydney and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals in Nikki Nouveau’s show Bordello Blues, doing a Pas De Deux/Ariel Lira act with Simonne Smiles.

    Jill

    Jill has danced professionally for several years specialising in middle eastern dance but also incorporating contemporary, jazz and acrobatics. She was a finalist in the Australia Wide Bellydance Star Awards Competition held in Sydney in 2010 in both the soloist and troupe sections and was the choreographer of the Troupe ensemble who placed first in the competition. Jill has worked for a number of Entertainment businesses including Amera’s Palace and Bellacize (2012) and is the principal dancer and founder of the Bellyfit Dance School established several years ago. Jill directed and performed in the Dance, Drums and Drama Show held in Sydney in 2010 raising money for The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. This involved an audience of over 200, approximately 50 performers (amateur and professional) and coordination of all aspects of the show including sound, lighting, photographers, videographers and volunteers. Jill continues to perfect her dancing (bellydance, jazz, contemporary, ballet) and acrobatics through regular private classes with Sydney’s top teachers. At present Jill regularly performs at well known Sydney and Newcastle venues (including IMAX, Darling Harbour, Parramatta Riverside Theatre, Pumphouse Darling Harbour, Daltone House Darling Island Wharf, Newcastle Brewery, Smithfield RSL) for private functions, parties & corporate events. Jill has also performed several times as a soloist and group performer at The Star Casino in Sydney and has been a guest performer at VIP nights and New Years Eve in the award winning WB Productions ‘Midnight at the Oasis’ Arabian Show.
