TAKE CLASS WITH TOP DANCER
DANIEL Jaber is an international dancer who famously appeared on US TV series Dance Moms as a guest choreographer.
Now he is coming to Toowoomba for one day to host master classes.
On Sunday, November 12, he will host classes at the PCYC dance studio.
Mr Jaber is nationally and internationally known for both his choreography teaching and performing, having been a member of many dance companies.
He trained at the Queensland University of Technology, Queensland Ballet Company and Adelaide College of the Arts.
His career as a professional dancer began with Garry Stewart’s Australian Dance Theatre at the age of 17 in 2003.
Since then, he has gone on to perform and choreograph performances around the world while based in Los Angeles.
Mr Jaber appeared on season six and seven of reality television series Dance Moms.
He choreographed Kendall and Kalani’s Push and Pull duet and the group’s The Bow dance.
Toowoomba’s National Conservatoire Ballet Company founder and director Sarah Brown said it was exciting to have Mr Jaber in town.
“We are really lucky to be able to have Mr Jaber host classes in Toowoomba, because he generally teaches at an elite level and works with full-time dancers,” she said.
“I took advantage of one of those rare moments when he is set to be back in Australia, so I made a few calls and he was more than happy to come visit us.
“Everyone who has found out about it so far is really excited, so I think tickets will sell fast.
“We only have about 40 spots in the two classes, but if there is a strong demand we will look at holding another class.”
Junior dancers eight years and older can register for a one-hour class from 11am, and senior dancers aged 12 years and older can attend a three-hour ballet, contemporary and choreography class from 12pm.
The cost for juniors is $30 and $60 for seniors.
