ABOUT

​

​

Formerly of The Royal Ballet, English National Ballet and The Royal Ballet School

I was born in Zimbabwe and was accepted into The Royal Ballet School in 1972. In 1973 I won the Adeline Genée Gold Medal and in 1974 was offered a place in The Royal Ballet Company, Covent Garden. Whilst there, I worked with some of the great choreographers of the time including Sir Kenneth Macmillan, Sir Frederick Aston and Glen Tetley.  In 1981, I left The Royal Ballet Company to join English National Ballet where I was a soloist and danced many leading roles including Odile in Swan Lake, Zebiode in Scheherazade, Red Lady in Sanguine Fan.

​

Following my dance career, I spent a period of time as the Administrator to the Professional Dancer’s Teachers Course at the Royal Academy of Dancing in London. I later went on to direct and run my own fitness company in Berkshire in the UK and became one of the country’s validated organisations for Fitness Teacher Training.  I was a leader in the fitness industry for 15 years.  In additiion I am also a qualified Yoga instructor having studied at the Sivananda Vedanta Yoga Centre.  I returned to the Royal Ballet School as the Public Relations Officer in 1996 and was responsible for the marketing and media representation of the school.

​

Added to my knowledge at its highest level and the anatomical and physiological aspects that underpin the physicality of ballet, I am adamant that a positive psychological approach to dancing is imperative for success.  I work with dancers helping them build confidence and ownership of their own dancing, using logical, simplistic tools, which when applied consistently, greatly improves their work.  I work to get them to truly understand how to approach their dancing and how to progress and become the best they can be.

​

For many years I have been a freelance teacher, coach and mentor.  Drawing on my years of experience, expertise and my development of logical, understandable teaching methodologies, I now focus my skills on what the individual dancer needs and requires.  Jane Devine Private Coaching is one on one coaching with the individual dancer in focus.
