Talisha Pienaar
Talisha’s love for the art of ballet started at the age of three. She achieved distinction for every major ballet exam she has pursued under the training of Julia Powell & Yvonne Barker (internationally recognized Cecchetti coach & examiner) . She was accepted into the Cape Town City Ballet company where she danced professionally for two years. She then pursued teaching and qualified with her Cecchetti Associate Degree under the mentorship of Barbara Lewis (internationally recognized Cecchetti coach & examiner). Moreover, she also won the Cecchetti Associate Trophy for the highest honors achieved in her Teachers Exam in the Western Cape, which places her as one of the top upcoming classical ballet teachers.
