I could not recommend her more highly. 24/05/2016 I met Chantelle when I was working as Ballet Mistress for Ballet Theatre UK (BTUK) and guest teacher for the school. She took part in the BTUK summer workshop, joined the school as a professional student then later joined the cast of Midland Theatre Ballet as a leading dancer. I have also been coaching Chantelle on a regular basis, during which time, I have developed an enormous respect and fondness for her. Not only does she have all the natural ability and talent of a classical dancer (body type, musicality, technique, artistry etc) but her professional attitude and dedication is to be commended. Rarely have I come across such a mature approach from someone so young. It is easy to write a positive reference for Chantelle. She goes the extra mile, works that extra bit harder, is enormously capable and motivated, is a kind considerate and helpful individual, as such, she would be a huge asset to any ballet company. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need anything further from me.

Re: Chantelle Meyers I had the pleasure of being one of Chantelle Meyers’ classical ballet teachers at Newcastle Ballet Theatre, New South Wales Australia, prior to her family’s move to the UK in 2014. I found Chantelle to be a hard-working and extremely dedicated student who showed enormous potential in reaching her goal to become a professional ballet dancers. She was always a delight to have in my classes. My very best wishes go out to her in attaining that goal. Kind Regards, Margaret Akerman ARAD Solo Seal. (Australian Ballet, 1962-1965.
