Rosemary has extensive experience choreographing and producing several full length ballets.

In 2003, Rosemary was invited to teach at Kondo Ballet Studio in Japan for 6 months, which was an amazing experience for her. She has been back several times since to guest teach. After returning from Japan, Rosemary held the position of Senior Teacher at Elancé Adult Ballet School in Melbourne for 12 years, which included the development of a 12 month program for beginners as well as teacher training.

Rosemary is also a registered teacher of the Progressing Ballet Technique program and finds it an invaluable complement to students’ ballet training.
