I started dancing at the age
of 4.
I completed a three year full
time dance training course at the Australian Dance Theatre
School/Adelaide Dance Centre. The course covered a wide
range of dance styles including classical ballet, pas de deux,
repertoire, contemporary, jazz and character, as well as anatomy
and the history of dance. I performed for five years with
the Dance Centre Company - a dance-in-education group.
I have taught creative
movement to primary school students and at the Woodville Special
School for students with disabilities. I have taught movement
classes for the State Opera and have been a guest teacher at RAD
holiday schools.
I am a registered teacher with
the RAD.
I opened the Robyn Pettigrew
Dance School in 1984.
I am a qualified and
registered teacher, and was dance teacher at a high school for
four years. During this time I was on the SSABSA subject
advisory committee for Dance, working on the Stage 2 syllabus.
Former students of mine have
gone on to study at the Victorian College of the Arts, The Centre
of Performing Arts in Adelaide, and the West Australian Academy of
Performing Arts.
I am also a qualified Teacher
of the Deaf, teaching students individually and in the classroom.

I started ballet in Mildura when I
was 8, studying the Russian method, Cecchetti and RAD in both the
country and the city. I am a registered teacher with
the RAD.
In 1975 I established my own school in
Clare teaching classical ballet (RAD) to children and adults from
5 years, and jazz/modern to children and adults. I had 100%
pass rate in children's exams from 1978 -88.
After moving to Adelaide at the end of
1988, I freelanced, teaching modern, choreography and jazz ballet.
I joined the staff of Joanna Priest's
Studio Arts Centre in 1990 and taught Classical Ballet (RAD) to
children from 5 to 18 years and Jazz /modern to children from 10
years, until I left there to join the Robyn Pettigrew Dance School
in 2000.
Danielle Gracanin
I have been dancing since I was a child.
I have worked and trained with Robyn Pettigrew for many years as
an assistant ballet teacher and now as a teacher in my own right.
I am a junior primary classroom teacher and
have taught Dance R-7. I was an arts coordinator at an R -12
school for three years.
I really enjoy teaching children,
particularly in the area of Dance.
