Karin
Hobby has many years experience in the dance education
field. Moved on to establishing her own independent
school in 2009 more consistent with her own teaching
philosophy and expertise after founding, developing and co-owning
NLDC
established in 1997. Dance is a passion and
inspiring that love for dance is inherent in her
teaching. She studied teacher training at
The Royal Ballet School in London, England. Her teachers
there included Joan Lawson, Julia Farron, Lynn Wallis,
Jocelyn Mather and Ninette de Valois. Cecchetti and
Royal Academy syllabi were taught in addition to Royal
Ballet repertoire, National, Character, Mime, Benesh
Notation, Music, Eurythmics and Pointe. Karin is also a
licensed physiotherapist* with her Masters of Science
degree. She has lectured in the under-graduate, and
graduate program in Physical Therapy at UWO in the field
of rheumatology and has published and presented in the
area of dance injuries. Has tutored the RAD Certificate in Ballet
Teaching Studies for the Healthy Dancer Module for the
past 7 years. Although
not all dance injuries are preventable we can strive to
reduce the incidence and the impact. Karin is a
registered teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD
Teaching Diploma -Distinction) and an Associate with The
Cecchetti Society of Canada and the ISTD. She has attended numerous National
Ballet of Canada teacher workshops, studied the Vagonova

as well as at other major London private studios.
