Our team

Isabelle Lawless grew up dancing - ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop/funk, and many other styles. She danced for 15 years, trained for Advanced level examinations, and completed Dance units 3/4 as a subject for VCE. She then began her teacher certification in the Cecchetti method, before family life took center stage. Isabelle has 6 precious children, 3 boys and 3 girls who all love to dance. As a child, she created many concerts at home using her brothers as (unwilling) students. A previous Zumba instructor, she ran her ballet classes for pre-school and primary school-aged children (called Free to Dance) for a short time in 2018 before taking extended maternity leave.

The founder of Dance on Fire, Isabelle cannot wait to watch the flame grow brighter! Bring on 2025, Come Holy Spirit!
