LINDA GAMBLIN

Head of Training Linda Gamblin (nee Ridgway) trained with the Royal Ballet School in London and went on to perform principal roles with The Australian Ballet, Royal Ballet London, National Ballet of Portugal and Sydney Dance Company.

Linda has worked with contemporary choreographers such as Michael Clarke, Meryl Tankard and Graeme Murphy and has performed works by Jiri Kylian, Maurice Bejart and Jerome Robbins. Her career has seen her travel extensively throughout the world with highly successful tours to Europe, UK, Asia, USSR and the United States.

As well as an extensive professional career as a dancer, Linda is a passionate dance educator. Studying and teaching Pilates mid-career, she developed a keen interest in the body. She attained her Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy and Physiology whilst teaching Pilates in the UK, and has since further developed her knowledge with courses and workshops on the muscular and skeletal systems and biomechanics. This knowledge has become an integral part of her teaching practice.

Linda Gamblin has been involved with the BICDPRIX and has been integral in its evolution. We look forward to welcoming her back.
