Camilla Jakimowicz would hardly be the first reality star to move from TV to radio, although as a SYTYCDA dancer she didn’t get to say much on the TEN show. But that hasn’t stopped her from having employment chats to Sydney radio.

A radio job is just one of the offers after her recent national exposure Camilla told the Sunday Mail.

Meanwhile industry choreographers have hit back at comments by contemporary dancer Meryl Tankard that the show is a “fast-food version of dance.”

“Meryl’s comments are unfortunate. They’re probably, to give her the benefit of the doubt, ill considered as I would hate to think that Meryl is so limited in her dance appreciation that she would deny an entire world of dance and question its right to exist,” Atkins told news.com.au

Choreographer Robyn Moase added, “I was outraged and somewhat amused that somebody whose claim to fame is ‘fish swimming in mid-air’ at the Sydney 2000 Olympics opening ceremony, and who has bored so many people with her self-indulgent work, would dare to dismiss commercial dancers in such a totally arrogant, uninformed and patronising manner.”

  1. Sheesh, the dance world seems to be even bitchier than the fashion world.

    For the record, Robyn Moase,

    Meryl Tankard: internationally renowned, 30 years experience, lifetime achievement award, worked with the finest around the globe.

    Robyn Moase: primarily an actor, not a choreographer. Dance career barely visible even via Google. Not even famous enough to be listed in Wikipedia.

    Robyn can, essentially, not afford to be making such ridiculous statements.

    Richo, I don’t think Meryl is exactly going into hiding after rantingly insane criticism from an artistic nobody.

  2. Wow, those are certainly strong defenses for the show. I wouldn’t want to be in that Meryl’s shoes right now. She probably wouldn’t want to show her face in public the next few days
