Iris Kelly
Talia began training for a career in the performing arts at age three. She studied ballet, jazz and tap, and from an early age showed promise as a ballerina.
At 15 she was selected to complete in the internationally acclaimed Prix de Lausanne dance competition in Switzerland. As a semi-finalist she earned her position as one of the top 23 classical dancers in the world in her age group. She also competed in the 2006 Genee International Ballet Competition in Hong Kong in which she was again a semi-finalist.
Talia studied with the Queensland Ballet Company for two years before being invited to join the Company as their youngest dancer in history. She completed a year with the company prior to auditioning for hit reality television show Channel Ten’s So You Think You Can Dance. With her technical ability and versatility she became an audience favourite and after a gruelling schedule over several months, working with Australia’s leading choreographers, she was announced as the winner of the 2009 Series.
Since then Talia has been appearing at live events all over the country and she recently travelled to the USA as part of her So You Think You Can Dance prize. She has been researching her options to further her career in an international dance company and is delighted to put these plans on hold to play a starring role in Fame - The Musical.
