Born in Townsville, Ann was the first student enrolled at the "new" Ann Roberts Studio, Pirani Hall, in Fletcher Street. Ann studied Classical Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Highland and Irish dancing under the experienced direction of Ann Roberts, and also attended Ballroom classes as a teenager for recreation.

Working with professional guest choreographers was the highlight of the six years Ann performed with the North Queensland Ballet and Dance Company which toured to numerous regional Queensland towns.

Ann also performed in many musicals with the Townsville Choral Society.

Holding Advanced teaching qualifications in Tap and Jazz with the ADA, Ann enjoys teaching young students and watching them grow to become confident and capable young adults.
