ABOUT THE GAIL MYBURGH SCHOOL OF BALLET

Gail Myburgh was employed as a full-time teacher of the Audrey King School of Ballet in 1979, at which time she became responsible for teaching students at junior and senior levels.

At the time of the permanent re-location of the late Audrey King to the United States of America, the students of Audrey King School of Ballet were entrusted to Gail Myburgh and the Gail Myburgh School of Ballet was consequently formed.

The Gail Myburgh School of Ballet provides a professional and caring environment wherein dedicated staff members nurture students to reach their individual balletic potential.
