Our amazing performers are to be congratulated for the passion and stage craft that made their roles come to life on stage.

We are so proud of each and every one of you. A huge thank you to our amazing Part-time Academy Principal Emma-Jane Morton for her dedication, care, and incredible work involved in pulling this production together! Our fabulous teaching faculty once again showed their dedication and expertise in preparing, choreographing and staging the dancers so they can perform at their best! Thank you to Hanna Jones for her wonderful work in costume production, management, and organisation. A huge amount of stunning costumes were prepared for this production! Thank you to our great administrators Hanna and Simone, and the TPA staff for their fantastic support of our TPA students and families. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers for their costuming and prop help as well as our backstage helpers, who were essential in making the show run so smoothly. Without your tremendous support it would not be possible! Thank you to all the parents for supporting their children’s love of dance! We would also like to thank the Concourse Staff for their professionalism and the inspirational Kim Peade for his expertise and generous support in lighting our show so beautifully.
A huge thankyou to all of those who contributed their effort and time to help pack and load the truck at the end of the season. Particular thanks goes to Miss Emma-Jane, Manu, Lias and Kim Peade for going above and beyond. This production would not be possible without the contribution of so many people & we have immense gratitude for the efforts of everyone involved in bringing the magic to the stage. Xanthe & Gregor

Congratulations to our Pre-Professional full-time

Congratulations to our Pre-Professional full-time student Chelsea-Lee who has been successful in her selection as a semi-finalist for the prestigious Prix de Lausanne international ballet competition held in Switzerland in early 2024! Out of 333 female applicants from around the globe, only 44 females were selected as semi-finalists, and Chelsea was chosen as one of only four females to represent Australia!

We are so very proud of Chelsea-Lee and delighted that her dedication and hard work, training at TPA for over 11 years, has been deservingly rewarded!
This year she has blossomed into such a beautiful and expressive artist, radiating confidence in her ability as a technical and emotive performer.

Chelsea-Lee’s success through her 11 years at the Academy is also a reflection of TPA’s excellent faculty and TPA’s commitment to educating students to achieve excellence through our carefully structured program from a very young age, progressing through our junior school, into our transition and extension programs, to then completing our Pre-Professional full-time program.

Thank you to all teachers past and present for their contribution to Chelsea-Lee’s development as an artist.

A special mention to Lisa-Maree Cullum who successfully prepared Chelsea-Lee for her Prix application and to Xanthe for choreographing the stunning contemporary component.

Thank you Lisa-Maree for so generously giving of your time to coach Chelsea-Lee to achieve such a high standard and for sharing your invaluable international expertise which made Chelsea’s video application so successful.
Chelsea is now excited to represent TPA and Australia on the world stage at this prestigious international event!
The Students and Staff look forward to welcoming Lisa-Maree back in a few weeks time, to join the TPA team and continue her successful work with our students.

This morning Miss Xanthe and two of our full-time students Keira and Chelsea-Lee appeared on The Morning Show, Channel 7, to help celebrate this special day.
We are so proud of our students Keira and Chelsea-Lee as they spoke confidently and demonstrated a number of ballet exercises for the hosts Kylie and Matt to give an insight into their daily life as a dancer.
We thank Channel 7 for inviting the Tanya Pearson Academy to share this wonderful day with their audience.
The hosts Kylie and Matt seemed to have a fun time with Miss Xanthe as they tried some basic exercises and positions. The French terms tendu and fondu were the cause of some hilarity on set.

Clarification:
The TPA issued a short statement below on behalf of Ms Lucinda Dunn on October 19.
She requested that the statement she wrote be issued by the academy on her behalf.
Ms Dunn requested that we release the statement verbatim and we agreed to follow her wishes.
Ms Dunn felt strongly that her statement reflected her current stance.
We hope that this information clarifies that the author of the statement is Ms Lucinda Dunn.
TPA Management

Update:
On 26 August 2023 we issued a media statement which announced that Lucinda Dunn would be continuing with the Tanya Pearson Academy as a teacher when her tenure as our Artistic Director concludes at the end of 2023. We regret to advise that this is not in fact the case and Lucinda will not be with our Academy after the end of this year.
We wish Lucinda every success in her future endeavours.
