At 14 years old, she was offered a place in the Youth Ballet WA full-time program studying the Vaganova technique. Jaimie studied for 5 years in the full-time program, completing both Certificate III & IV in Ballet Performance Studies and her ATAR in Year 12.

At 19 years old Jaimie did an audition tour around Europe and was offered full-time places at four prestigious ballet and contemporary finishing schools. She took up a position at Iwanson International School of Contemporary Dance in Munich in their 2nd year of the bachelor’s degree, however, after only 6 months suffered a career-ending injury.

Fortunately, since the end of Jaimie’s ballet career, she has found a love and passion for teaching.
