Louise Deleur

Louise graduated from the Australian Ballet School in 1985 and chose to work with the West Australian Ballet Company before moving to Sydney to work with Sydney Dance Company. Louise then left the company to become a freelance dancer and choreographer working in the more commercial side of theatre.

In 1998 Louise decided to continue her study of dance and took several sabbaticals to New York to retrain in classical, contemporary and jazz as well as the Pilates Method of rehabilitation. Louise returned to Australia to be guest artist with West Australia Ballet.

In 2001 Louise returned to New York and was then offered a guest teaching position in Classical Ballet with Taipei National University of Arts for two consecutive years as well as guest teacher at Taiwan International Dance Summer School. Louise now resides in Brisbane and continues to teach and choreograph in Classical and Contemporary techniques.
