- Shannon Burns (2006 Graduate)
“Having graduated from the two-year course in 2015, I believe I am well placed to discuss the benefits of studying at ED5International, under the support and leadership of Elena De Cinque. I commenced study at the institution having basic training in jazz and tap and no experience in singing, acting and ballet. I believe the length and content of the course is appropriate and necessary to achieving professional level of competency.
Not only are the technical skills achievable in this time frame, but ED5International and its staff have been imperative in teaching me the social and professional skills to find success within the industry - namely work ethic, resilience and
professionalism.
My association with ED5International has continued post-graduation, and I regularly return to the institution to teach workshops and classes. It is in this capacity that I have witnessed CEO Elena De Cinque’s commitment to maintaining and
improving upon the already impressive standards associated with ED5International.”
- Todd Dewberry (2015 Graduate)

Elena, William and Mario - thank you for your ongoing support and mentorship”.
- Emma Watkins (2009 Graduate)

Since graduating from the course in 2014, I have accomplished a multitude of my goals within this industry and I am continually applying the tools I acquired at ED5 to form the framework for bigger dreams.
