DANCE TEACHERS
Beth Bluett

Beth Bluett: Founder of Living Dance International

Beth trained in ballet and contemporary dance and has danced around the world. Performing and training in many countries, before opening her own ballet school in Australia where she now resides.
In 2004 Beth was inspired to re-open the curriculum she wrote, re-writing it in the light of her continued development & experience as a teacher & dance director. She has registered the Trademark Living Dance International and now travels to five continents equipping dancers to teach these curriculums. She is invited to be on UNESCO’s Dance Council based in Paris.

Beth’s passion is to bring dance into a God honouring expression, so is against the commercialisation and sexualisation of children which is frequently seen. It is also to introduce the understanding of intelligent dance techniques taught from the centreline of the body out to the limbs – rather than from the extremities back to the core which is the status quo. Her third passion is to support and mentor dance teachers.
