Esther
Juon Veitch (principal of Waipawa Dance Centre) The school is owned and run by Esther Juon Veitch. Esther was trained as a classical dancer in Switzerland and in London. She broke her back at 18 years old and then after 7 years of injury and a spinal operation learned to walk again. She returned to teaching with one major aim in mind - to teach with safety in mind and making sure that what happened to her would not happen to any of her dancers. Esther has two BBO Teaching Diplomas the latest being achieved in London in 2004. She has had two ballet schools in England the last one was in Brighton where for 20 years, 22 of her dancers became professional dancers. She also had a very big adult ballet school and taught 2 adult classes a day. Many of her dancers stayed with her for years and worked all the way through the British Ballet Organization Syllabus and took their exams along the way. Now Esther just wants to teach for the love of it and carry on working with adults and teenagers. Her dream would be to train up ordinary people, who have a love of dance and theatre. This new skill can then be added to the other skills they already have.
