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.

Trained at Broadway Dance Center and Steps in NYC, NC Dance Institute and Broadway Dance Project in NC, and ODC in CA. Performed with Carolina Ballet, Experience Vocal Dance Ensemble, NC State Ballet Co., etc.

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.

Between my 8 years of latin ballroom experience and training in bellydance, ballet, hip hop, gymnastics, and aerial arts, I bring a fusion of different dance background to each lesson.

I have been mentored by national and international ballroom champions, and have been teaching dance for 4 years. All ages welcome. If your looking for a social way to stay fit, or just want to learn a new skill, you've come to the right place.

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

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!

I am a teacher of twelve years and I love what I do!

My ballet lessons consist of basic positions, technique, and placement. We will work on strength, conditioning, and flexibility- and with those- will come coordination and confidence. Ballet is a great workout in addition to being the foundation for technical dance. It's a great place to start and always to come back to.

My main goal is that my students have fun in addition to benefitting from our lesson. All my classes are personalized to suit my students' goals, progression, and timeline.

My name is Misaki from Tokyo, Japan. I did ballet over 13 years since I was 3 years old. My experience includes going abroad to study ballet in Shanghai when I was 13, also I took a lot of classes of Vaganova ballet teacher’s lesson in Tokyo. I experienced many kinds of shows at my ballet school, also I experienced professional shows Nutcracker, Carmina Burana(NSB ballet in Japan) when I was 16 years old. During my youth, the teacher was very strict about basic fundamentals of classical ballet, I mastered the fundamentals of classical ballet as a result. Also I use to teach children and adults, point classes as well.

Carmina Burana

During my 30 years experience as a partner and solo dancer I have developed an eye for what works on stage. I know how to pull the most out of any dancer and get them in touch with their inner artist.
