Meet Thalia

A lifetime of passion, movement and teaching.

For Thalia, dance has always been more than movement. It has shaped most of her life, first as a dancer and now as a teacher helping others find their confidence in the studio.

Where it began

My name is Thalia, and I have been dancing since I was five. I have been teaching for over seven years now, and dance has been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember.

Qualifications

Teaching
I am a fully qualified dance teacher through the Acrobatic Federation of South Africa, where I received my teaching qualification in 2021. I hold the Advanced Teachers qualification, with all my exams completed.
Judging
I have also completed a judging course through AFSA, and have had the privilege of judging at various festivals, competitions and auditions.
Competing
One of the highlights of my own competitive dance career was competing at National level in Acrobatics and achieving first place.
Training
Over the years I have trained in Acrobatics, Contemporary, Lyrical and Modern dance, which has given me a deep appreciation for both technical excellence and expressive movement.

What matters most to me as a teacher is helping each dancer find their own strengths, and their own love of dance. Dance has given me a great deal, in the studio and well beyond it, and it means a lot to be able to pass that on.

Blissful Dance & Choreography is meant to be a safe and welcoming place, whatever your age, where you can build your confidence and enjoy expressing yourself through dance.

Come as an absolute beginner, or as a dancer striving for excellence. There is a place for you here.
