Louise Camelbeke hopes to one day dance with the NZ Ballet.
Former Warkworth Primary School student Louise Camelbeke, 12, has been accepted into the New Zealand School of Dance.Louise and her family moved to Orewa earlier this year so she and her sister Lisa could pursue their interests in the arts – Louise in dance and Lisa in drama. Their mother Chris says Louise hopes to become a professional ballet dancer and she was very excited to be accepted into the school, after auditioning in Auckland.
“The school’s programmes provide the best foundation on the path to becoming a professional dancer,” she says. “It will mean seven or eight trips to Wellington next year to work with some of the best teachers, training styles and facilities in NZ.”
Louise started dancing with the Soul Movement Dance Studio in Warkworth about six years ago. She recently joined Fusion Dance in Orewa and has been working under the direction of the principal Rosanne Sims. Chris credits Louise’s success to the mentoring and encouragement she has received from Rosanne.
