Tracey McAlister

Principal

Tracey McAlister is a proud mother of four children and has a great passion for dance.

In 2003, (After a 14 year break from dancing), Tracey decided to follow her dreams and return to dance training to finish what she had started many years earlier which was to complete her qualifications and become a dance teacher.

This has now turned out to be one of the most rewarding decision her life.

Her goal in returning to studies was to not only receive accreditation in dancing but to also start her own dancing school. Three years later in 2006 Pegasus Dancing Academy was founded.  In 2007 Tracey completed a Licentiate Ballet (ballet's highest level) through the Society of Education in Dance and Theatre Arts (EDTA) with a result of Special Merit Honors.

As dance is an ever-changing art form Miss Tracey continues to train and update her skills.  In 2008 she not only completed 3 separate exams with 2 x honours achievements and 1 distinction, she also competed in the EDTA National Ballet Awards and won the 'Open' section.  Since then Miss Tracey has completed many more personal exams and has commenced external studies.

Because of her commitment to excellence Pegasus not only employs its own Senior students but also employs external teachers who are leaders in their own fields.

Miss Tracey believes that people never stop learning and she sees it as a privilege to pass on her up to date knowledge onto those who also have a passion for dance and want to learn.
