June de Villiers

I was born in Barberton and have proudly been a 'Lowvelder' ever since. With a passion for classical ballet, I have dedicated the past 45 years to teaching in the area and have served as a ballet examiner for 32 years. Many ballet teachers in the region are former students who completed their Teacher Training under my guidance.

In addition to my teaching, I held the position of Director at the Dance Academy of South Africa and was the Head of the Examining Body for over 30 years, where I played a key role in implementing systems and standard operating procedures to elevate the practice of ballet education.

On a personal note, my husband and I are blessed with six children and twelve grandchildren.
