Helena Moore

Helena MooreHelena Moore commenced dancing at the tender age of 3 years old, with the Joan Halliday School of Dance in Sydney.

Having gone onto a 2 year full-time dance course, she graduated with solo seal.

Helena's first job was a 12 month contract as an entertainer with P&O Sea Princess, travelling Asia and the Pacific.

Helena took a year off to travel overseas and studied in America for 6 months with the Alvin Alley Company. On her return she joined up with David Atkins' company and was contracted to numerous stage shows, TV commercials and conventions, both in Australia and overseas.

She established her own successful production company, Ultimate Dance Productions, concentrating on productions in Australia and Japan.

The natural progression transpired from dancer to choreographer as she assisted Ross Coleman with his work in Thailand musicals, the Australian Fashion Awards, the Jupiter's Casino production, the opening of South Bank and Expo 88.
