| Bella has a strong passion for dance, music, singing, acting, and performing. She began dancing at the age of 4 and developed a particular interest in Jazz by age 6. Bella is trained in both Jazz and Hip Hop at the Northern School of Performing Arts. Each year, she takes the stage as part of the Dance Academy showcase, where her passion for movement and expression truly shines. Her dedication and strong work ethic are evident in her impressive exam results. Comfortable on stage, Bella has taken part in several Musical Theatre productions, including Elf (2024). This year, she is especially excited to have secured the lead role of ‘Marie’ in Aristocats. Bella’s love for music spans a wide range of genres, and she is a devoted fan of Michael Jackson. At school, she actively participates in the Kapa Haka group. Outside of her performing arts interests, Bella enjoys riding her bike, climbing trees, and reading in a sunny spot alongside her beloved cat, Simon. |
