Ezra is a choreographer and educator dedicated to creating a vibrant, high-standard dance community in the Albury-Wodonga region. With a technical foundation spanning Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, and Street styles, Ezra’s approach to dance is rooted in versatility, passion, and a deep respect for the craft.

His professional perspective was shaped significantly during full-time training at Jason Coleman’s Ministry of Dance in Melbourne. Immersed in the commercial scene and learning from Australia’s leading choreographers, Ezra gained a clear vision of the kind of space he wanted to lead. He recognised the need for a dance environment that balances a professional challenge with genuine inclusivity.

Through Commercial Dance With Ezra, he has turned that vision into a reality. Ezra has created a space specifically for adult dancers of all backgrounds and goals. Whether you are dancing for recreation, looking to stay connected to your passion, or preparing for a professional course, Ezra’s classes offer a genuinely supportive environment where every dancer is encouraged to grow.

Ezra is also a key creative voice in local theatre. He has choreographed and been involved in numerous productions for the Albury Wodonga Theatre Company, including their highly anticipated 2026 production of & Juliet.

For Ezra, dance is about creating a culture that is as welcoming as it is ambitious. He is committed to ensuring that every dancer who walks into his studio feels seen, challenged, and inspired to grow.
