Eileen Annand has 14 years of Adult Jazz and Ballet experience and has performed in Jazz Bliss in the 90’s and more recently with thirtySomething Dance since its formation in 2004. She started dancing as an adult, drawn to Halifax Dance classes for the high standard of teaching. With a background in Phys Ed, she has always enjoyed fitness; Crossfit and pilates feature regularly in her schedule which keeps her mentally strong. Her other love is music so combining the two is a bonus. Costume making/creating has presented her with some fun challenges in recent years, hence her superhero name ‘The Needle’. Striving for balance on a day to day basis is very important and being part of a close-knit supportive group  is key; we help each other through.
