Ever heard of the global preschool dance company Ready, Set Dance? They are a dance giant who provide performing arts programs across the world with over 250 studios who license their programs PLUS are featured on Nickelodeon JR and other major international networks airing in nearly 200 countries!    Jade Barnes is one of the Directors of Ready Set Dance and I am thrilled to have her on the show!    Jade began her training at the age of 5. As a young performer she developed a love of musical theatre performing lead roles with amateur musical societies and also appearing on kids television shows and films. You may be surprised to hear that she was the voice singing the title song on the ‘New Adventures of Skippy’. Jade worked as a professional performer whilst completing her five year Arts/Law Degree at Sydney University. She was a resident dancer for Triple Treat Promotions, Six Pak Productions and Popset Ltd performing in cabaret shows, cheer squads, corporate gigs and pantomimes.   Jade went on to become a studio owner herself and was the Principal of Planet Dance for 13 years and has been teaching for more than 20 years.  Other industry credits Jade has under her skills belt, is having a career as a dancer and choreographer on a myriad of shows both in Australia and abroad including, a tour of Singapore/Manila with the ‘Space Jam’ show! Just recently she has enjoyed her work as Vice President of Project Dance and her choreographic work with the Lil Banditz Krew and Young Talent Time National Tour. Jade and her team at Ready Set Dance are embarking on a new program in 2022 launching both in OZ, NZ and the USA. We dive right in and find out how Jade went from dancer to global Dancepreneur.
