Teacher, Joanna Montague

   Teacher, Joanna Montague’s love for dance and music was apparent from an early age. She started dancing at the age of 4 in London, learning dance styles such as tap, jazz, disco and contemporary. Her love of music soon grew to include playing the clarinet and bass clarinet at the age of 7, where she toured across Europe – France, Italy and Switzerland.

During her time at college, Joanna completed her exams with a distinction in both Contemporary Dance and Music. Throughout her dancing career she has performed at various venues including, London’s Royal Festival Hall. At the age of 16 she became a Dance Teacher at a school in London. Following The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabus, she regularly helped students through their exams. After five years of teaching, she set-up and managed her own dance school for both children and adults. She regularly entered students into competitions and organised dance shows in support of local charities. For the last three years she has been training at Pineapple Dance Studios.

Prior to leaving the UK, Joanna was a digital marketing professional, juggling a full-time job and her dancing career. Here in Singapore, she is now living her dream of being a Dance Teacher and has rediscovered her passion for music.
