Jayde Smith
Originally from Melbourne, Jayde moved to Sydney to train full-time at Brent Street, where she completed two years of training and earned her Advanced Diploma of Professional Dance. Training in Classical Contemporary under Jess Hesketh, she later expanded into Performing Arts under Ryan Sheppard, developing into an adaptable and well-rounded performer. She was honoured to receive Dux of Performing Arts for 2023.
During this time, Jayde gained valuable industry experience, performing in Jessica Mauboy and Jason Derulo’s “Give You Love” music video, The Voice Australia Semi Finals, World Pride Mardi Gras “Live and Proud,” and the NRL Grand Final.
Since graduating, she has worked with Royal Caribbean Entertainment, performing in both theatre productions and the innovative “270” venues aboard Wonder of
the Seas and Spectrum of the Seas. These opportunities have allowed her to continue growing, adapting, and establishing herself as a professional performer.
