"I first became acquainted with Tanya Pearson's extraordinary ability to train young ballet dancers in 1997. And having traveled throughout Australia, teaching at many of this country's best professional ballet schools, I can say without hesitation that at no other school I have witnessed either such a positive environment, or students of such a high artistic calibre." 


Lucinda Dunn, Principal Artist
The Australian Ballet Company

"Tanya Pearson - her name brings to mind many things for me - professionally, for nurturing young talent and for her constant time and knowledge she passes on to me enthusiastically. Personally - as a kind, caring lady with endless encouragement and joy for her work."


Maina Gielgud, Former Artistic Director of Royal Danish Ballet Company
Former Artistic Director - The Australian Ballet Company

"Tanya Pearson has been known to me for many years as an excellent teacher. Her students are renowned for their technique, stage presence and general all round high standard."


Valerie Smith, Director

"Tanya Pearson's dedication to encouraging young classical dancers to reach their potential is staggering. She works with undying determination to improve Australian dancers' chances of attaining their dreams to perform in the world's greatest ballet companies and she succeeds time and time again.

The knowledge of her craft is unending and having traveled with her in January 1996 on one of her annual European Tours, I then realized completely the depth of her understanding of the complexity of a classical dancer's training, not only the physical side of the art, but the mental attention to it as well."
