Michael Tong is a registered physiotherapist who sees dancing as his second career. Since 2011, Michael has been focusing mainly on modern and contemporary, and has danced in works of various artists and choreographers - namely Pewan Chow, Flora Hon and Giselle Liu. He also performed in the Hong Kong Arts Festival 2019 ('elephant in the room' by Chang Xiaoni) and International Choreography Festival 2019 ('Falling like the apple' by Peishan Chiew).

Inspired by various dance styles, Michael is passionate about choreography and has presented group and solo work on different platforms. He launched his first full length piece through REAL showcase in 2014 and a short piece through Antenna in 2019 and Imagination Boom 4 in 2018 respectively by E-side Dance Company.

A lifelong love for theatre and choreography fuelled Nicola's dance training, begun in rural South Australia, culminating in a BA Dance at Adelaide University and further study at London Contemporary Dance School. She has performed, and taught, in London, Scotland, Singapore, New Zealand, Sydney, and Adelaide. 

Classical Ballet is her first love, and she teaches both children and adults with a keen eye for pure alignment, and passion for the theatre. 

Always keen to experiment with costume, music and storytelling, in 1996 Nicola began her choreography journey in London's "Revolution" season, followed by "Evolution", and then performances in music festivals and London's eminent Institute of Contemporary Art, and Queen Elizabeth hall.

In Sydney, Nicola founded dance companies "Charisma Dance", "Sydney Ballet Theatre" and "Oasis Youth Ballet Company", and continued to dance with various independent contemporary companies also. 

In 2024 Nicola launched Ballet Alchemy to bring precise and encouraging ballet resources to ballet students of all ages globally.

She says, "Ballet should be about passion: storytelling, exhilaration, excellence and self-expression. For both the dancer and the observer, ballet should be inspiring!"
