About

Joëlle Vivienne Aeby

From Fribourg, Switzerland,I have over 20 years of dance experience, specialising in ballet. While I was pursuing my career as a classical ballet dancer with the Victorian State Ballet in Melbourne, I finished studies and received the Certificate lV in Dance teaching and Management.

My first steps as a pre-professional ballet dance trainee started at the "Conservatoire de Fribourg"  coached by Corinne Held Balbarie and Hans Meister. 

Leaving home and travelling  at age fifteen  to follow the passion as a dancer.

First stop was the “Ballett-Akademie Hochschule für Musik und Theater München”, where I received a scholarship, followed by the “Balletschule Theater Basel”. Soon later I was offered to join the Junior Company Prague where we had different productions in classical ballet as well as contemporary dance works. 

I travelled to New Zealand and danced with the Aotearoa National Youth Ballet.

 

The last years I was blessed to get all the support from my parents and family to live, study and work as a ballet dancer in different countries around the globe and got many new and beautiful experiences. Every new location/place was and still is a new journey of life. It brings joy, challenges, happiness, even tears, some unforgettable moments and friendships for a lifetime.

Besides dancing,  I have accomplished the Certificate 3 and 4 in dance teaching and management. I am  teaching Ballet at different schools and have now decided to take the step of opening my own school/training space to share my knowledge of Ballet and Dance with you.

 

One of the highlights in my career was to be invited at a Gala and dancing Aurora from the ballet Sleeping Beauty at the Opera House in Prague and Odette in Swan Lake choreographed by Kevin Durwael in the Estates Theatre in Praque.
