I am a professional ballet dancer, with over 20 years in training across the world. I trained at Canadas National Ballet School, then worked professionally as a ballerina at Dutch National Ballet in Amsterdam and Alberta Ballet in Calgary.

I hold a Masters Degree from New York University in Dance Education with a concentration in American Ballet Theatre pedagogy. I work at American Ballet Theatre as a teaching artist and as an Exam Proctor.

My classes are catered to the level and the needs of my students, they include stretching, conditioning and of course ballet technique. You have the option to have a solo created on you, in which I choreograph a unique piece for the dancer and rehearse it during the lesson to help with artistry and performance. We also can work on ballet variations as I coach a lot of my students in preparation for competitions.

While I train professionals, my students range in age from 5 years old to 18 years old, and am able to cater my classes to ...

At the age of 20, I was accepted to Dance Theatre of Harlem in NY and danced as a professional ballerina for about 6 years. Performed many principal roles and toured all over the US and overseas.
After my dancing career, I have been teaching dancers of different ages and experiences, from pre-ballet to adults and from ...

I am a professional dancer in New York City. I have a lifetime of experience and love teaching ballet. I am lighthearted and upbeat, while being commited to imparting the knowledge it takes to make a great dancer. On the other hand, if the intention is to have fun while learning the art form and stay in shape, I enjoy keeping the flow and energy up during class. The idea is to learn and grow within a highly structured series of exercises. This class will mainly consist of a barre and some center combinations.

I LOVE ballet. I practically live in my pointe shoes. [I remember when I first got them, I wanted to sleep in them the first night, I was so in love.]

I’m so excited to teach you all the basics/foundation/terminology you need!
