Corinne O'Rafferty

Corinne brings a lifetime of dance experience to her role as an adjudicator. After a decade away raising her family, she's excited to return to the panel with a discerning eye and a warm, encouraging approach to supporting dancers of all levels.

Her adjudicating credits include the Cowra Eisteddfod, Lake Macquarie Festival of Dance, Grafton Eisteddfod, and the Southern Tasmanian Dancing Eisteddfod — once the largest competition of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

Before adjudicating, Corinne toured internationally as a dancer and suit performer with The Wiggles (1998–2003), and enjoyed a highly decorated performing career, including international awards in Las Vegas and Boston, and a nomination for NSW Young Australian of the Year.

She is a fully qualified, registered Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) classical ballet teacher and former ADA (FATD) Modern & Tap teacher, with over two decades of teaching experience at studios including Kazzajazz, Ettingshausen's Dynamic Arts, and The Industry Performing Arts Studio. She holds a Bachelor of Business (UTS, Distinction).
