About Gina
My career as a dance practitioner and clinical exercise physiologist collectively spans more than 40 years. My professional full-time dance training was primarily in the Vaganova and Bolshoi methods. It was when my deep interest in movement technique began. 1975 - 1977 - Full-time ballet, Ballet Victoria, which became VCA in 1977 1978 - Dance Teacher training VCA the year it officially became VCA 1978 - Designed concept for new children's dance syllabus (still being taught today) 1979 - 1989 - Professional music theatre performer (played Columbia in Rocky Horror!) 1990 - 1993 - Director of Theatre Ballet School/Kyneton (then had 2 children) 1996 - 2002 - Created Boys Ballet Program (many were accepted into Aus Ballet School) 2001 - 2007 - Uni degree then Post Grad in Exercise Rehabilitation VU 2004 - 2015 - Lecturer at Victoria University 2002 - 2003 - Spent 18 months training with the injury prevention specialist at ABS 2004 - 2005 - Worked with elite track & field athletes at VIS 2005 - Presented my movement technique work at Aus Innovations Fest held at VIS 2010 - 2015 Lecturer in Clinical Exercise Studies with tenure at VU 2012-2015 - Discipline Champion Interprofessional Ed. representing Exercise Science VU 2015 - Current - Private Practice as a Dance Practitioner/Clinical Exercise Physiologist 2016 & 2018 - Dance for Parkinson's & Advanced Dance for PD instructor training 2023 - Current - Started Ballet Barre Classes for seniors (50-90s, but many aged 70-80 years) at a local medical clinic where I work face-to-face seeing clients referred by their GPs. **These face-to-face classes at the medical clinic (currently all booked out) have been a huge success because of the focus on technique, creating significant gains in balance, control, and physical self-confidence for participants. **As well as face-to-face classes, I have created some videos of ballet barre classes. I did this especially for the class participants at the clinic, so that they could come to the clinic and still practice together when I went on holiday. They loved these classes because they said it was like having me still there in the classroom with them. So I decided I should make more of these classes and offer them online on my own separate website, Ballet Barre Rehab. What led me to become a clinical exercise physiologist ... In 2001, I worked with an injured dancer. Her back injury had healed but she remained in pain and had been mostly out of action for 18 months. I retrained her fundamental ballet barre technique. After 6 weeks of daily intensive sessions together, she was pain-free and returned to her classes at the Ballet School. 18 months later she graduated, then was selected, and accepted into the Australian Ballet Company. I have been working as an accredited clinical exercise physiologist/dance practitioner specializing in movement technique, since 2007. I love my work.

Gina, as someone who doesn’t have a natural inclination for physical activity I find your classes inspirational. I admire the way you are aware of everyone’s strengths and weaknesses and instruct people accordingly in such a positive and warm-hearted manner. Also, you manage the distractions in a quiet, firm way. Thanks heaps, Cathy
Gina fixed my hip strain. She knows how the body works and quickly found the solution. Immediate relief. I am now able to walk without discomfort. Thank you Gina.
GeoffreyGina is a wonderful kind and compassionate lady. Her knowledge of her craft is first rate . Her ability to communicate and encourage those fortunate enough to be tutored by her (as I was) is one of many great gifts Gina possesses.
Gina was initially recommended to me as an exercise physiologist over a year ago. She also has a vast knowledge and expertise in dance and rehabilitation. I started taking the dance barre work with Gina. My core health and strength has improved measurably. I now go to two classes per week. Gina tailors the classes to suit the physical abilities of her students. She listens and watches carefully. Gina is very considerate and aware of changes within her students. She is quick to adapt exercises to better suit her students. I highly recommend Gina as both an exercise physiologist and dance teacher.
Gina is an excellent teacher. She is patient, warm and welcoming to everyone.
As a 78 year old woman, I have been doing Seniors Ballet with Gina for 2 years.
I've had both hips and knees replaced and 0pen heart surgery in the last 8 years, and believed I would now struggle to live as a frail elderly person.
WELL ....THAT'S GONE OUT THE DOOR!!!
Never having done Ballet before,
I'm astonidhed at my physical recovery, strength and capacity as a DIRECT result of doing classes with Gina who is ACTUALLY a Ballerina AND an Exercise Physiologist.
It is great fun AND with Gina's expertise, teaching skills, delightful personality, patience, personal attention to all class members and professionalism, her classes have set me up with a new stage in my life.
I'm a total believer !
And I love the look on people's faces when I tell them I'M DOING BALLET !!!
DawnHaving had Gina as a teacher of Senior Ballet over the last 12 months I would certainly recommend her as a very trustworthy and excellent teacher who takes interest in her pupils welfare and ability to partake in her classes. I would highly recommend her. Carol.
I honestly can't recommend Gina highly enough. She's not just a teacher; she's a mentor, an inspiration, and someone who truly cares about her students' success. If you have the opportunity to learn from her, take it. You'll be amazed at how much you can learn when you have a teacher who believes in making education both fun and meaningful.
From my personal experience, Gina is fun, creative and I love being able to learn from her.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Gina for over 10 years. I have experienced Gina as a teacher who is very client focused, knowledgeable in areas of expertise, open and honest. We have travelled together embarking on choir performance, both interstate and overseas. Gina is fun loving, innovative and creative.
I would highly recommend her, her work ethic and attention to detail is exemplary.Be happy you have a great teacher month be scared be happy
