Meet Our People: Eloise

ELOISE MOORE | DANCER INTERN

Ballet - My favourite ballet is Carmen! I’m also in love with Forsythe’s In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated.

Collect(ive) - I didn’t think I was much of a collector but now that I think about it I have loads of baggy merchandise tees from bands that I’ve seen! 

Aotearoa - My favourite place in Aotearoa is Wellington because everyone I love and care about lives here. 

Home - I grew up the country town of Inverell, Australia, then moved to Sydney in 2015. My family now lives in the Sunshine Coast, Queensland whilst I study here in Wellington. 

Training - I first starting dancing at Craze Dance Academy in Inverell. At the age of 14 I left home and moved to Sydney to continue my classical ballet training at The McDonald College. In 2018 I was accepted into the New Zealand School of Dance and decided to make the move overseas. I am currently in my third and final year of study at the New Zealand School of Dance. 

Highlights - In 2017 I was lucky enough to perform on stage with The Australian Ballet in their Sydney season of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” as an extra role. 

Favourite Jam - Anathoth Raspberry Jam
