        • How we started and who we are

          Canberra School of Fencing & The Dance Development Centre

          Canberra School of Fencing

          2014

          The School was created to further develop fencers from the dance centre. The School provides a more competitive environment to introduce students to the world-wide sport of fencing and start them on a sporting journey towards competing at club, state, national and international levels.

          Dance Development Centre

          1996

          In 1995 I attended some adult classes at the Dance Development Centre and met Jackie's husband Gerry (Jackie Hallahan - Director of DDC). Every week after Pilates classes, I taught Gerry fencing. After a year of lessons he asked me if I would be interested in teaching fencing at the dance centre and the rest is history.
