Ms. Yip Choy began ballet at the age of eight (8) years old at the Marcia Turner Dance School on Picton Street, Port of Spain and continued until for ten (10) years. At the age of 16 she entered Teen Talent with another dancer and performed a duet choreographed by the late Patricia Roe, placing third in the finals. Later on she received a scholarship from the Dance Association to pursue ballet in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School – Professional Section. Whilst at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School she performed in the Opera Aida and completed a course in music and movement for toddlers conducted by Professor Kennedy from the University of Manitoba. Ms. Yip Choy also taught RAD ballet at The Royal Ballet School for three (3) years before returning to Trinidad & Tobago.
