11 Times Australian Champion
World, British Open, International, United Kingdom semi-finalist and World Cup Finalist
National Championship Adjudicator
With a wealth of knowledge and experience acquired through competing, coaching and adjudicating, I maintain a strong desire and passion to provide a national voice for dance and dance education, and to encourage our future generation of DanceSport members to share their love of dance.
I hope to continue my work in assisting with identifying and promoting diverse forms of dance and dance practice, encouraging access to and understanding of dance for all abilities and levels. I look forward to fostering national and international links with dance-related organisations in order to assist our industry in re-building its confidence, educational offerings and member re-engagement.
Shingler, Donna
As an International Competitor, Coach, Adjudicator and Studio owner, my knowledge and experience in many areas of DanceSport is extensive. After 42 years of involvement I have seen or experienced personally what it means to be part of the DanceSport community. I have seen where it has come from and where it can go.
We must build on the history that has been laid down for us. We need to continue to develop and improve our accreditation system, our communication to members, our openness and transparency like any professional National Sporting Organisation.
Studios and Studio proprietors are the back-bone of this industry for without them there would be no competitions of any kind. We must continue to support those that support our industry. We must recognise and reward those who contribute positively to DanceSport.
I am proud to be part of a vibrant team with DSNSW and with the future plans of re igniting the NSW Championships and aiding in the education of NSW dancers via lecture days and new initiatives to help DSNSW be more approachable and transparent to its members.
We have had to overcome some significant challenges recently that has been no fault of DanceSport Australia. The proposed changes to DanceSport events and the increase in communication between DSA and all of its members is heartening.
Yours Faithfully
