Tegan completed her HSC at Bishop Druitt College in 2017.
Since then she has built an impressive career in the dance industry and has gone on to perform on some of the biggest stages in Australia. A former student at Brent Street in Sydney, Tegan’s journey is one of passion, resilience, and dedication to her craft.
Growing up on a farm in Bellingen, her family surrounded her with music and performance, Tegan’s love for dance was sparked at an early age. However, it wasn’t until a high school ankle injury where she tore multiple ligaments and was sidelined from other activities that she realised dance was more than just a hobby—it was her calling. Determined to pursue it professionally, she worked tirelessly, training in various styles and pushing herself to reach new heights.
Her dedication paid off when she received a scholarship to Brent Street, one of Australia’s leading dance institutions. There, she honed her technique, trained with top industry professionals, and immersed herself in the competitive world of professional dance.
Since graduating, Tegan has performed in TV productions, corporate events, and music videos, working with major companies like Netflix, Paramount, ABC, and TikTok Awards. She was honored to be part of Sela Vai’s full-length dance show "Mine" and recently performed at the Art Gallery of NSW René Magritte Exhibition.
Beyond performing, Tegan is passionate about giving back. She returns annually to Camp Creative in Bellingen to teach and mentor young dancers, sharing her experience and knowledge with the next generation. Looking ahead, she aspires to join an Australian touring show and take her career international, with dreams of performing in New York and London.
Her advice to aspiring dancers? "If you have the passion and drive, there’s nothing you can’t achieve." She encourages young performers to seek continuous training, support fellow artists, and embrace the dance community as a source of inspiration and growth.
Tegan’s journey is a testament to hard work, perseverance, and the power of following one’s dreams. We can’t wait to see where her career takes her next!
