Auckland-born Jane graduated from the New Zealand School of Dance with a scholarship to join Royal New Zealand Ballet in 1998. Three years later, attracted by the diversity of the company’s repertoire, she moved across the Tasman to join The Australian Ballet and is now proud to call Australia home. During her time with the company Jane has enjoyed performing numerous classical and contemporary works by choreographers such as Graeme Murphy, Jiri Kylián, Jerome Robbins, Nicolo Fonte and Stephen Baynes. Jane particularly revels in strong and dramatic characters such as Baroness von Rothbart in Murphy’s Swan Lake, her favourite role to date. Jane has toured extensively with the company to China, Japan, London, Wales and Paris. She has a great appreciation of languages and is currently studying French. Jane was promoted to Soloist in 2006.
