Naomi is from the UK and trained as an associate with The Royal Ballet School & Hammond School. She completed her RAD Ballet & IDTA Tap and Modern exams to an advanced level with her local dance school. Naomi loved competing in all styles of dance at national competitions and was invited to attend the prestigious White lodge, Tring Park & Yorkshire Ballet Seminar summer courses. 

 

At 16, Naomi moved to London to train full time at Rambert School of Ballet & Contemporary Dance, where she later graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree. Here she performed and choreographed for shows at The Royal Opera House and Sadlers Wells Theatre as well as experiencing classes with numerous world renown choreographers & teachers. She then danced professionally with contemporary dance company, Phoenix Dance Theatre. 

 

Naomi was always very passionate about teaching and knew this would be her next step, so in 2016 she gained her RAD Professional Dancers Teaching Diploma. Before moving to Sydney last year, Naomi was Head of Ballet at two schools in Dubai for over 6 years, and entered hundreds of international dancers into RAD exams, producing excellent results. Her previous students have successfully auditioned for and continued their training at professional schools around the world. She is also a teacher for the new Rambert Grades contemporary syllabus.

 

Naomi is now all settled on the Northern Beaches and looks forward to meeting the lovely dancers at DPA!
