Simone Jackson-Pike joined The Perth School of Ballet shortly after its transformation from the Bonny Parker School of Classical Ballet and has played a central role in shaping the school’s direction and success ever since.
An Associate Diploma graduate of WAAPA and a Licentiate in the Cecchetti method, Simone has spent decades nurturing dancers from their first plié to professional careers.
Her influence can be seen in the many PSB alumni now dancing or teaching around the world.
Her students have not only gone on to join leading ballet companies and training institutions, but have also achieved success as finalists in prestigious competitions, including the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), Prix de Lausanne, Alana Haines Awards, and the Sydney Eisteddfod.
Simone is equally passionate about guiding recreational dancers—helping each student grow in confidence, discipline, and joy, no matter their goals. She has led students on national and international tours for workshops, auditions, and performances, always with the belief that great dance training should be both inspiring and inclusive.
