Ellen Pepper

Ellen started dancing at the age of four and continued into full-time dance training at the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School, where she was selected as Dance Captain during her final year.

Classically trained, Ellen has performed with the Australian Ballet Company, Expressions Dance Company, and at the International Beijing Dance Festival. She has performed ballet and contemporary works under the direction of numerous international and Australian-based choreographers in both Brisbane and Melbourne. Most recently she has returned back to Australia after two years performing as a face character and parade performer in Disneyland Paris. Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Distinctions) in Dance Performance from QUT, she is also currently teaching ballet to the younger generation. For Ellen, XTEND Barre was the perfect fit of dance and fitness; her classes are quick-paced and energetic.
