Hi! My name is Elizabeth and I am the founder and principal of Koala Dance Studios. I am 21 years of age and have been dancing for over 14 years. I have just completed a certificate 4 in Dance and Dance Teaching and Management and i have just begun my Diploma of Elite Performance (Dance).

I have been trained in Classical Ballet, Tap, Contemporary, Lyrical, Jazz, Hip Hop and Musical Theatre. As well as teaching Dance at Koala, I am also a qualified gymnastics and acrobatics coach and have been coaching for over 12 years. I am so excited to be running my Koala Dance Studios and love seeing all my student grow and develop their dance technique and training. 

Hey! My name is Eirini Vergaki and I am a gymnast and dance teacher at Koala. I am 15 years old and I was born in Greece. My family and I migrated to Australia in 2014, which is when I joined Koala Gymnastics Club. Although this is my first time teaching a class, I have been doing rhythmic gymnastics for 9 years and dancing for 12, and I have always loved to help out with coaching. I also really like acting, travelling, journalling, swimming and playing volleyball. My favourite styles of dance to teach are hip-hop, jazz, lyrical and contemporary because I have the most experience in them. I'm very excited to start teaching at such a great club!

Hi! My name is Lauren, and I am a dance teacher at Koala dance studios. I began my dance journey at a young age training in classical ballet, tap, and Jazz. I continued on to study contemporary dance at Deakin university and I am currently studying a certificate 4 in dance teaching and management. I enjoy creating a positive and uplifting environment where dancers can excel in artistic expression while developing technical skills.  As a new member of Koala studios, I am excited to be a part of the team and hope to spread my love and passion for dance to my students.

It's never too late to start dancing! With a little bit of motivation and hard work, you'd be surprised how much you can achieve so quickly! My name is Fiona and I am a 21 year old new teacher at Koala Dance Studios. While I am currently completing a Certificate in Dance Teaching, I have also been trained in Jazz, Tap and Hip Hop. I enjoy training my students to become the strongest and best dancers they can be, and take pride in watching them improve while on their dancers journey. I am thoroughly looking forward to teaching dance at Koala and am excited to watch my students learn and grow with each lesson.
