Welcome to your first Dance Appointment

nuggets in there nuggets so I well my background is strength and conditioning didn't start out in dance wasn't a dancer probably why I have imposter syndrome half the time but that's another topic

for another day that's

episode two and yeah started out in just professional sport in Sydney and straight out of school went to uni and did what I needed to do there and then kind of ended up being professional sport and That's where I sat for a while.

Always had a really big focus on because I did my Pilates training so young.

So strength and conditioning back in the day was very much heavy lifting in the gym and, you know, very kind of black and white old school.

So I just from the very beginning wanted to infuse, I guess, Pilates principles into S&C and a very big focus on flexibility because no one was really doing that.

So I started working in the NRL just with different clubs, taking that into there.

Interesting.

Yeah, then just had my family and still kept working through that and somehow have ended up in dance because my daughter dances.

MVP player of the

dance scene.

Yeah, somehow I've ended up in dance and it's been great because I feel like it's a bit of an area that is – not being professional so to speak everyone's wanted to touch it but it's been really good to bring so much stuff from other sport that aren't so professional into dance and just feel like i can and make it and make a difference i'm at the stage of my career when i just wanted to make a difference in whatever i was doing

My name is Lucy Ellis and I have probably a different perspective from you because my background really was predominantly art focused.

My mom is a singing teacher, so I grew up in the music theater world.

I did a lot of theater as a kid and everything, all my learning was kind of based around a career in the musical theater industry.

And actually, funnily enough, I was going to try and be an opera singer.

So not even dance related, I was really into classical voice.

When I finished school, I went to the con for classical voice.

You should sing

the intro, a theme song or something for

us.

Oh my gosh, I actually really should not because now because of all my teaching, I have nodules.

So now I really should not do any of

the above.

And yeah, no, it's very sad.
