Gaining a solid dance training in Melbourne with Paul Hammond (Principal Borovansky Dance Company), Margaret Scott (nee Paull) and Calvin Von Reinhold at the VCE, Marilyn went on to teach for many years in both Melbourne and Brisbane.  Taking time out to marry and raise a family, dance was never far from her thoughts and in 2000, with her four children aged eight to eighteen she embarked on a double degree, majoring in dance at QUT while at the same time launching the Ascot School of Dance.
 
Throughout her dance career she has appeared in pantomime, choreographed for fashion shows and several school productions.  She has also taught in a number of Secondary Schools and Colleges in Brisbane.  
 
Marilyn has a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Dance and a Bachelor of Education, is a registered teacher with the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) and Comdance,  Silver Swans™ Licencee and PBT trained and was Chairperson for the Comdance Social Committee for a number of years.    
 
Believing that education and knowledge is an organic concept that continuously evolves, Marilyn attends regular dance workshops to keep up to date with the latest teaching trends and most recent pedagogical practices.  Marilyn believes strongly that the discipline of dance stands students in good stead for their future physical and emotional development.
