OCCUPATION PERFORMER / DANCE TEACHER
DANCE STYLE JAZZ

Unlike most teenagers, Camilla’s first job wasn’t at a check-out or as a burger flipper – she landed a dancing role in the big budget Baz Luhrmann extravaganza, Moulin Rouge! Not bad for a 16-year-old gal from Ipswich.

The now 25-year-old started training in Tap, Jazz and Ballet from the tender age of three years old and has never looked back. After strutting her stuff alongside Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, she went on to make her musical theatre debut as a swing dancer in Saturday Night Fever and performed as an ensemble member in both Hugh Jackman’s Boy From Oz and We Will Rock You in Japan and Osaka. She also performed at the opening of Stadium Australia in Sydney to a full house, so she’s no stranger to performing for enormous crowds.

Her Dad’s parents are Polish, and her mum a former Tap Dancer. Describing herself as a little stubborn, Camilla is set to give the Top 20 a run for their money when she gets out on the floor!
