Teacher of the Month / Holly Wearn

This is Holly's third year with First Steps and Stepping out Performing Arts and as all her students will see she has an incredible passion for teaching.

She has been dancing all her life and has been blessed to have a wonderful personality to be able to pass on her knowledge to the children of all ages.

Holly is currently taking Jazz, Tap and Ballet classes for school aged children and has a unique gift with our babies doing our specialized preschool classes.

Holly also travels to our Torquay and Newtown studios and is a big part of our First Steps family.

Parents and children that do not have Holly as a teacher also get to meet her as she is part of our office staff. Holly's greatest joy is having the ability to share her knowledge and inspire others.

Well done Ellie it’s a credit to you as you work so hard in class.

Michelle is in her second year at First Steps.

It has been an absolute joy to watch Michelle’s development in our Junior program.

She has made leaps and bounds in the past two years and shines in class every week as her confidence has grown to be able to jump, gallop, climb and dance all on her own.

Michelle is a great listener and such a pleasure to have every week.

Well done Michelle.
