Read more about Victoria's amazing career in dance: 

Victoria Kay was born in Gayndah. Her family moved to Gympie where she commenced dancing at the age of three. Moving to Brisbane when she was seven years old enabled her dream to become a professional dancer to flourish. She studied all styles of dance – ballet, tap, jazz, acrobatics, contemporary and song & dance at her mother’s dance studio “Jacinta Kay Academy of Dance” under CSTD and RAD. Her final years of schooling were completed whilst attending the Queensland Dance School of Excellence. 

Upon graduation from QDSE she moved to the Gold Coast but returned to Brisbane briefly before moving to Paris, at the age of eighteen, to join the cast of the world famous Moulin Rouge. It was here that Ms Kay travelled the world touring with the Moulin Rouge dancers and becoming the ‘face’ of both the Moulin Rouge and MakeUp Forever (the Moulin Rouge’s make up line). Ms Kay mastered her craft and became Principal dancer at the Moulin Rouge, a role she excelled at. Audiences were enthralled. 

Ms Kay has since returned to Brisbane after five years in Paris. She continues to assist with auditions for the Moulin Rouge when they are held in Australia. Ms Kay’s love and enthusiasm for dance is infectious. Dancing has awarded Ms Kay amazing opportunities to not only to travel but also to learn from some of the best dance teachers and choreographers. She wishes to share her experience and knowledge with others. Ms Kay is an experienced teacher of dance having obtained a Diploma of Dance whilst at QDSE. After living in Cape Town, South Africa for a year, her story continues here in Redcliffe where she has settled with her young daughter.

We welcome Victoria to the Dolphins Health Precinct family.
