Teachers

Leonie, school principal, teaches most classes. See About Leonie for biographical and teaching information.

Ruth has been teaching beginners and intermediate classes at NMEDC for ten years. Ruth is a professional dancer who works at various venues around Sydney. She brings a background in classical ballet to her classes which emphasise technique through a syllabus of drills that she has devised to develop strength, control, flexibility and isolation. Ruth created and choreographed 'NOT the Nutcracker Suite' for our 2007 end-of-year concert, 'NOT Cinderella' in 2008, 'NOT Little Red Riding Hood' in 2009, and NOT Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs in 2010.
