Growing up in New Zealand I had my heart set on performing and have enjoyed every minute of my career. I started as a dancer, performing on television and stage and by the age of 28, I had travelled to 63 countries. For 10 years I worked professionally in and out of America, Canada, Italy, Singapore and Japan to name a few and was addicted to traveling… and I still am!

One of my greatest achievements to date is running my own business ‘Studio Charli’ which has been very successful helping people achieve fitness goals for the past 10 years. We have created such a great community and environment and overall a FUN place for people to work out. I find it very enjoyable to go to work everyday as I am so passionate about what I do. It is a great feeling when you hear you have changed someones life for the better and also very humbling to know you have made a difference.

We now have an online platform where you can workout it the comfort of your own home. Join Charli and the girls for a workout like no other CLICK THROUGH TO ONDEMAND PAGE

I am currently putting together some different class formats and ideas so be sure to join us to see what all the hype is about!

I also launched a Dance School in 2016 which I’m super proud of as it has already grown so much and I love seeing what the kids achieve week after week.

Kim

Kim grew up in Tasmania, started dancing from the age of two years and performed her first solo routine. From there, her passion for dance began. In her early teens, she trained and completed exams in styles such as ballet, tap, jazz, singing, speech and drama. She also found a passion for Broadway musical and performed in many amateur and professional events.In her early twenties, she decided to open a Dancing School that continued for 12 or more years; her ambition was and still is to inspire young dancers to learn an incredible skill that would give them confidence and freedom to express themselves through dance and their life.

Kelly

Pop Hits, Zumba, Aerobics, Adults Dance Teacher

Aerobics qualifications – freestyle step, aerobics, toning and stretch.
Les Mills trained – Body Jam and RPM
Danced since age 2 – trained in Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Lyrical, Heels and Music Theatre
The Planet and Heaven Nightclub dancer.

I was born in South Africa and started dancing at age 2. Any of dance style and as much of it as I could get was my motto from that young age and has stayed the same throughout my life. Dancing is a passion that completely thrills and excites me and is an absolute part of the person I am.

Moving to Australia at age 16 gave me many opportunities to grow and perform and also allowed me to obtain my Aerobics qualifications. I so love the freedom and fun you get in freestyle aerobics or step classes but also loved the Les Mills programs I also qualified for (RPM and Body Jam).

I danced at The Planet and Heaven Nightclub for over 15 years, and boy those were super fun times. I have taught lyrical, jazz and heels classes and love being able to give people the ultimate feel good sensations dance can bring. My passion is performing and choreography and I love sharing this with my students.

Teaching at Studio Charli has been nothing short of a fun-filled joyride. Charli is so passionate about her studio and the members are all just fabulous. So looking forward to what the future bring at Studio Charli.
