Take Classes in Ballet, Modern Dance, and Choreography with a College Professor
My highest priority as a teacher is to enrich my students’ lives and help them find joy through dance. I care deeply about each of my students as whole people and aim for our work in class to benefit their everyday lives as well as their study of dance.
I offer technique classes in ballet and modern dance, as well as creative classes that incorporate writing and choreography. Furthermore, I have experience incorporating somatics, mindfulness, and improvisation into my teaching. This can be infused into technique classes or offered as classes on their own. I am happy to work with a wide range of students, from children through older adults, and absolute beginners to professional dancers. Upon booking, we can discuss what you are looking for in a class, whether that is honing advanced technique or simply getting exercise and having fun with movement and music. I can tailor the class to fit your needs and we can have a great time dancing together!

(4)
Hello! My name is Dana P-K and I am a dance educator, choreographer, and performer. I am originally from New York and am now based in Holland, Michigan. I received my MFA in Dance from the University of Iowa in 2014, where I was honored to be the recipient of the Iowa Arts Fellowship, and my BA in Dance and Spanish Area Studies from Kenyon College in 2006, cum laude. I have worked professionally as a performer and choreographer in New York, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and now Michigan. I have been on faculty at the University of Iowa, Stockton University, Bryn Mawr College, and Ursinus College and am currently an Adjunct Professor of Dance at Grand Valley State University. My teaching experience goes beyond higher education, with significant experience in dance studios and community programs, teaching children through older adults.

A unique trait that Dana has mastered in teaching is finding the great balance of being personable yet professional with students. Dana’s ballet class is always a joy to walk into, breath of fresh air to experience, and a fulfilling way to start the morning. The passion Dana has for teaching and dance merges into a beautiful method of connecting with students, which makes every lesson throughout class worthwhile and meaningful. She is always supportive, motivating, and honest; I truly respect and admire her work. I feel honored to have learned from her, and I know in my heart it is a necessity to maintain a bond with her for a lifetime.

Dana is a great teacher! I greatly enjoyed taking her ballet class. Her class helped me develop a positive relationship with ballet. She is talented at creating an inviting atmosphere that allows each student to feel accepted and welcomed. I appreciate how she challenged us to be the best version of ourselves!

Dana has helped me refine my technique and musicality through hard but rewarding classes. In these sessions, I was able to develop a better connection to my body and employ more efficient pathways in my dancing (and life!) While I enjoyed taking her classes in person, working with her online through private lessons really took my dancing to a deeper, more personal level!
