About
Jayne Dance is a motivational speaker for hire in Adelaide, SA.
Jayne speaks in stories, and the room tends to move with them. One moment there's laughter, the next a genuine pause. She talks openly about the trials and failures behind writing her children's picture book, Dancing with Ruby, and what that taught her about what makes her own heart zing. The style is animated and interactive, reading the audience rather than running a script, and it lands across ages: school assemblies, high school groups, staff wellbeing days, after dinner slots. There's also a Story Time session for preschool to Year 1, where the book comes alive through physical theatre, silliness and a round of Irish dancing. Adelaide based. Holds teacher registration and personal trainer certification.
The show
Jayne reads the room and works off its energy rather than a script, so no two sessions land the same way. A group can go from proper laughter to complete silence in the space of one story. She talks openly about the trials and failures behind writing her children's picture book and what that taught her about what makes her own heart zing, and audiences tend to see their own experiences in it. That's the point of the stories. They hold a mirror up and give people something to make sense of their own place in the world with. Interactive throughout, and it works from school assemblies through to staff wellbeing days.
Performance options
Schools can book her for back to back presentations across a range of classes on the same visit, which is the practical way to reach several year levels in one day rather than spreading it over a term. That covers assemblies, high school groups and the Story Time session for preschool to Year 1, where Dancing with Ruby comes alive through physical theatre, silliness and a round of Irish dancing. Outside schools she works staff wellbeing days and after dinner slots. Tell her the year levels and the timetable when you enquire and she'll shape the day around them.
