About Us
Dallas Chapman
As owner of Rayner's, I have the marvellous opportunity to meet so many people. Not only students, who have become my friends and of course the teachers who I am immensely proud of. I have the great privilege of working both at home and abroad as a senior examiner for the IDTA. I love training teachers for their professional qualifications but also taking the various classes throughout the week for the social dancer. Of a weekend I can also be seen travelling around the country adjudicating at competitions all ages and a range of styles. Fellow & Examiner IDTA, Fellow ISTD, Championship ADJ, PG Dip.
