Dance Lessons in Westlake Village. Amazing Teachers.

I have been teaching ballet, jazz, tap, Salsa and Ballroom for over 15 years.

Hello! I love to teach and share the art of dance with others. I am great with children as well as teen and adult beginners. My goals are to pass down my knowledge of dance, and to give my students feelings of joy, accomplishment, and growth.
My teaching style has patience and focuses on teaching dance in a way that is healthy for the physical body for an non-injury journey learning and practicing the dance craft, as well as giving and guiding freedom of expression.
***I bring a ballet barre and a roll-out dance floor for learning.***
I have a BFA in Dance and 5 years of teaching experience. My 21 years of being a student, performer, and teacher has provided me with a diversity of expertise. I look forward to teaching and sharing the art of dance with you!

Hello there! I provide high quality dance instruction grounded in the principles American Ballet Theatre National® Training Curriculum and Vaganova Method. I hold a master's degree in dance education from NYU Steinhardt and am an ABT® Certified Teacher (Pre-Primary through Level 5) with professional performance and choreographic experience.

I have been teaching dance for over 12 years. My students have won many competitions and some of them even passed tough exams to enter Dance Academy programs, colleges and universities. I am very passionate about teaching dance and finding the right "key" to every student. I believe that all of us are different in the way we process new information, the way we learn, memorize, get motivated, and progress. I believe in order to get maximum result in such complex craft as dance there has to be a balance between having fun and having discipline. Each class has a set structure, short-term goals, and long-term goals, and of course, we do have fun. I love my profession, I love teaching and figuring out how to achieve the greatest result with that particular student by applying aspects of sports psychology on top of standard methods, and I love seeing my students fall in love with the craft and achieve great results.

Dance is an amazing gift used to express how we feel and what we believe. It tells a story, oftentimes our own. I believe in teaching the art of how to freely express yourself through telling a story with every move. Whether you are a trained dancer or a beginner, you have the right to express yourself through creative movement and I can help you with that.

How to move around like a hungry for space dancer. My teachers used to tell me to Eat Up Space. We will learn how to make our own dances. Vocabulary and Improv, Dynamic, Structure and Form. Finding what it means to write a story or poem with your body's movement, the space it is inhabiting and of course, idea.
