San Pedro, CA Ballet Lessons

I've been teaching ballet for over twenty years. My ballet teacher was a Bolshi alumnai. He and his dad both danced for the Bolshi before they came to America. I teach a combination of Vaganova and my own updated style to keep my students interested in the style. I use classical music and pop to help students gain a love and appreciation for the style.

A technical approach to a exciting and updated condition program at the barre to make training and progression with amazing growth in time.

Currently on the faculty for multiple dance schools and programs. Teresa has taught, performed, and choreographed extensively on both coasts and internationally. Detailed dance resume available upon request.

Increased strength, flexibility, coordination, musicality, artistry, better posture/alignment, and grace.

My goals are to work on their coordination and flexibility along with proper ballet technique. All classes will be tailored to each student accordingly.

Students will go through ballet barre and center.

My goal in classes is to create a fun, positive atmosphere and pass on the love I have found for this beautiful art form. I put a strong emphasis on teaching clean, pure technique from the start of class. I believe that only once that is developed, students have the freedom to really dance and move from a place of stability and core strength. This provides a dancer with the freedom to push past their own boundaries and enjoy the movement quality, and this is my goal for each of my students!

Depending want the student wants to get out of ballet training. I specialize in proper ballet technique at the barre and stretching.

As a ballet instructor I aim to teach my students the importance and benefits of ballet training. Ballet has been the foundation for multiple forms of dance, and continues to provide basic understandings of proper body alignment and placement within artistic expression. As a performer and instructor I do not see ballet as a restriction of movement, but rather building the movement from a foundation. I believe ballet to be a core technique in dance training.

Throughout my classes I hope my students gain the importance of ballet technique and performance that I hold for it. I wish to teach my students that ballet is not a strict, “no expression” form of dance, and to open their eyes to the freedom, energy and prevalence of it, so they can embrace the embodiment of it in their own way.

Diversity is prominent in the dance world, as I believe dance and art is what brings humanity together. Dance has a plethora of body types, ethnicities, sexuality/gender norms, experience and etc. I
