My name is Jasmine Tui Paine and I'm the principal teacher here at the Jasmine Tui School of Dance, thanks for taking the time to look at my website. 

I started my ballet training at the age of 11 at the Affleck Academy of Dancing where I remained for 15 years, during this time I studied classical ballet up to Intermediate level before embarking on my teacher training.

In 2003 I graduated from Northumbria University with a BA Honors degree in Performance and gained my IDTA Associate dance teaching qualification in 2006.

For the next few years I had a number of jobs including working as a youth worker for a local charity but continued to teach dance at weekends until eventually, in 2008 I established the Jasmine Tui School of Dance in Gosforth, Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Over the past 16 years it has grown in to a vibrant, popular dance school in the heart of Gosforth with students staying with us from preschool up until they leave for university. Every student who passes through our doors is important to me and I truly believe in the power of dance to enrich lives, build confidence and develop skills which will last a lifetime.
