Janelle began dancing at Ann Roberts as a tiny tot. Her mum, Maureen, had been taught by Miss Roberts as a young girl, and her Dad thought that ballet might help with her poise and co-ordination, and stop her being a complete klutz who constantly tripped over her own feet. Sadly, that was not the case! However, she continued with dance until finishing her ballet exams at age 19. Janelle’s daughters Hannah, Lucy and Eliza have also danced with Ann Roberts continuing the family tradition.

Janelle’s real passion has always been singing and she has combined that talent with her dance training over many years of performing in musicals with the Townsville Choral Society and NQOMT. Janelle began teaching our song and dance classes in 2005, and joined our office staff in 2013.
