Sharon Tite Ballet Tutor
Sharon graduated from the National Ballet School (NZQA) under the artistic directorship of Ann Judson MNZM, completing her Advanced RAD and BBO examinations. During her training, she learned under notable ballet masters including Russell Kerr QSM, Professor Xu (Beijing Institute), and Stanislav Issaev (People’s Artist of Russia).
Her early career highlights include performing in Kyoto, Japan, with the Higaki Ballet Company in Giselle and Coppélia, and dancing alongside Julie Kent and Guillaume Graffin in Pas de Trois from La Sylphide. After graduating, Sharon became the first New Zealand ballet company dancer to be contracted by Guangzhou Ballet in China, before moving to Colorado, USA, to dance with Canyon Concert Ballet. There, she performed the role of Tinkerbell in Peter Pan and was greatly inspired by Colorado Ballet’s Lorita Travaglia, who ignited her passion for Vaganova methodology.
