Upon leaving formal education, Merilyn’s formative years were spent pursuing a career in ballet performing with Sydney City Ballet, a touring company.  Productions included; Coppelia, Nutcracker, Les Sylphides, Swan Lake. During this time she also taught ballet to children from Primary through to Elementary level (ages 3 to 15), including preparation for RAD examinations and annual school dance performances.

From the mid 1990‘s she performed with El Moreno’s Sabor de Espana in London and throughout the UK. She taught Flamenco Dance at Surrey Adult Education and was the regular substitute flamenco teacher at Dance Works studio in central London.
