Peter Faux

I'm thrilled to be sharing with you a very special interview with dancer, teacher, mentor and choreographer Peter Faux. Peter's teaching and mentorship has both ignited and profoundly shaped my own ongoing relationship with dance. Whilst Peter wouldn't consider himself a dance movement therapist, I treasure the influence his wisdom and passion has had on my life. So, it is my hope this interview will gather some of this magic to offer & share with you.

Here, Peter shares the story of how tap dancing healed his lungs as a child and introduced him to the world of dance; the humour he found in responding to others fear of the dancing disease on the football pitches of Port Melbourne in the 60s, the magic of dance and his commitment to fostering inquisitive minds.

Peter is a trained teacher in Cecchetti method classical ballet, MDES Jazz, past President of the Australian Pilates Method Association, and runs a dance school and pilates studio in Melton, West of Melbourne.
