The idea for ENPNT came from a simple but powerful question I heard time and again: “Where should I go to dance?” or, from parents, “What type of dance should my child do?” As a former professional dancer and now a mum, I knew how important it was for families to find the right dance school and dance style for them—and for schools to spend less time on admin and more time inspiring young dancers. With this in mind, I founded ENPNT, which has since grown into Australia’s largest dance school directory. Our platform connects students to classes that fit their interests, while our booking system helps schools turn online visits into enrolments so teachers can get back to what they love. This is just the start—we’ll be launching globally, with the USA firmly in our sights. Key Highlights of ENPNT: ● Comprehensive Directory: A detailed listing of dance schools with class offerings, schedules, and instructor profiles, making it easy for students to find their perfect match. ● Seamless Booking System: Simplifies class registration for students and schools, turning interest into enrolment in just a few steps. ● Building a Dance Community: ENPNT is more than a directory; it’s a platform where students and schools connect, share, and grow together. ● Vision for the Future: We aim to create a global hub for dance—a space where dancers, teachers, and dance lovers can connect, find opportunities, and engage with all things dance. As Founder and CEO, I am proud to create opportunities for dancers and schools, building a community where every dancer can find their place and every school can focus on what matters most—teaching.

From the age of three, I knew that dancing was my passion—it was my way of feeling free and alive. This passion carried me through years as a Principal dancer, and when I became a mother, it took on new meaning. I founded Flo Dancewear to create dancewear that would let kids experience the same joy I found in movement. Flo Dancewear is my way of sharing the magic of dance with young dancers everywhere, through beautiful, super-soft, and functional clothing that supports them at every step. For over 18 years, Flo Dancewear has focused on designing pieces that let kids move freely, combining elegance with everyday comfort. From the ballet barre to playtime, our dancewear is made with the softest, most durable fabrics, ensuring every child can express themselves with confidence. As a mum and business leader, I am also committed to sustainability—ensuring that the choices we make today support a brighter future for the little dancers of tomorrow. Key Highlights of Flo Dancewear: ● Made to Move: Designs that blend elegance and practicality, allowing kids to move freely and confidently. ● Super Soft, Sustainable Style: Soft-touch fabrics ensure comfort and durability, while we continue to take steps towards a sustainable future. ● Expanding the Vision: In 2015, we introduced Flo Activewear—a line of activewear for tweens, bridging the gap for true active and dancewear created for this age group while maintaining our signature style. ● Available Across Australia and the USA: Our collections are featured in top department and specialty stores, making quality dancewear accessible to families nationwide. ● Inspiring the Next Generation: My journey with Flo Dancewear has deepened my expertise in dancewear and my work with dance schools, reinforcing my belief that every child deserves clothing that inspires confidence and creativity without the high price tag.
