About The Author
Ariane Beeston
Ariane began dancing before she could reliably speak in two-word sentences. She trained to a pre-professional level in ballet and contemporary dance, performing with the Sydney City Youth Ballet and appearing in the English National Ballet’s Australian performances of Swan Lake. After a detour into psychology and media, Ariane began teaching ballet to toddlers, pre-schoolers and beginner adults.
Ariane’s debut memoir, Because I’m Not Myself, You See, was shortlisted for the Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year in 2025. Don’t Forget to Smile is her first book for young adults. She still wants to be a ballerina when she grows up.
