ELISE SIMPSON
Acrobatics/Tumbling
Originally from Newcastle, Miss Elise has been training in performing arts for the past 17 years, and teaching for the last 6. She has trained extensively in dance, musical theatre, singing and acting. She has completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology, a Certificate 4 in Ministry (Dance & Leadership), and a Certificate 3 in Live Production and Services. Elise teaches throughout the hills district, overseeing acro and musical theatre programs, competition and school troupes and recreational classes across various styles.
At Rosebourke Miss Elise is our Acrobatics, Musical Theatre & Snr Elite Lyrical coach. She aims to encourage her students outside of their comfort zones, to grow their confidence and help them become disciplined, nurtured and versatile dancers.
Elise uses her industry experience and knowledge to excel her students, regardless of whether they attend dance recreationally, competitively or are in training for a career in performing arts. Elise’s goal is to mentor her students growth and development for longevity in their current training and future endeavours.
Outside of teaching Miss Elise is an avid choreographer and performer. In 2023 she was the Assistant Choreographer for SYMT’s production of ‘The Little Mermaid’ at Riverside Theatres, and in May 2024 she will be taking the stage with Willoughby Theatre Company’s production of ‘Jersey Boys’ at the Concourse. Her current experience in the industry translates evident value to our dancers at Rosebourke Studios.
Miss Elise is a current member of Rosebourke’s open elite jazz, lyrical and hiphop teams. Her wealth of knowledge and powerhouse energy and technique make her an asset to the team and an incredible role model to our younger students.
