 Ms. Angelina, a native of Singapore, began her journey in the world of dance at the tender age of 6, guided by esteemed mentors, including Mrs. Skipp Hung Yee, Ms. Chew Soo Poh, and Mrs. Lim Soo Chern, as she embarked on her ballet training. Her dedication and talent shone through as she successfully completed her RAD Intermediate examination with distinction.

In her formative years, she expanded her repertoire by embracing Chinese dance while attending Primary school, participating as a Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) under the expert guidance of Mr. Zhou Lei. This journey continued throughout her Secondary school years, under Mr. Zhou Lei's expert tutelage.

Angelina's passion for dance and her thirst for knowledge were evident as she actively engaged in the Dance Talent Development Programme (DTDP) in 2016, a collaborative initiative by Lasalle College of the Arts and the Ministry of Education. Her commitment to her craft led her to further educational opportunities, including enrollment in the Singapore Dance Theatre's ballet associates' course (BAC) and their scholars' program. As a student at the Singapore Dance Theatre, she had the privilege of performing in the company's enchanting production of "The Nutcracker" at the illustrious Esplanade Theatre, leaving an indelible mark in 2016 and 2017.

She continued her dance education at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, working closely with renowned choreographers like Christina Chan, Gillian Tan, Jenny Neo, and Filomar Tariao.

Ms. LeeAnn's journey in ballet began later in life, commencing her training at the age of 10 at Paya Lebar Kovan CC, guided by the experienced Ms. Jane Tan. Her passion for ballet ignited during her very first class. However, the demands of academic studies compelled her to put her ballet pursuits on hold for several years.

At the age of 16, she made the decision to rekindle her ballet journey. She successfully completed her RAD Grade 3 examination at the Ballet and Music Company at Nex and reached the RAD Grade 5 level by the time she turned 21, all of this at Wings to Wings, a studio that has since ceased operations. Her true passion for teaching ballet blossomed when she tackled her RAD Grade 6 exam, achieving a Merit result with the invaluable guidance of Ms. Annie Tan.
