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 finally 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. In just over 13 years we have grown in to a vibrant, popular dance school in the heart of Gosforth.
