I am a recent graduate of the Bolshoi Ballet Academy with a diplom as a proffessional artist in ballet.
I have other 7 years of experience in classical Vaganova training and have spent my summers teaching beginner stretching classes to the Bolshoi Ballet Academy Summer Intensive Prep Program in NY.
I truly believe that fostering a child's creativity through music and dance with early exposure to ballet has the potential to translate into any future path they choose to pursue.

students can either choose from the russian or italian style of ballet and will learn basic positions and placements of the body, demi barre, adagio, petit allegro, waltz, grand jete, and reverence. students will also learn terminology and work on flexibility, strength, and muscle control.

Hi students! I am a professional ballet/Broadway dancer with 25+ years of training and experience. I have taught at Ballet Academy East (nationally recognized for its well crafted syllabus and meticulous technique) in both the young children's pre-ballet program and the Pre-Professional Graded Level. As a student, I have attended San Francisco Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, American Ballet Theater in NYC, and Central PA Youth Ballet before working on Broadway in Phantom of the Opera and with The Metropolitan Opera in Lincoln Center.

With my lessons we can work on improving strength/technique, preparing for an audition, or coaching through a variation. Not only will you gain strength and technique, but also insight into the industry from a seasoned professional. You will also leave with exercises you can practice at home for rapid improvement.

*For adults and older children/teens, studio space will be rented and subject to availability and additional fees. Contact as soon

Careful private work on shape and function of the body, part by part. Breaking down the language of the movement so you know what you are doing when and how to carefully develop the parts that are weakest by separating them from the mix of all the movement and then studying them minutely until the physical process makes sense to your mind and body. Musicality from the moment you stand in first position. Relationship to music in the form itself and toward the music you are hearing. Turns, jumps, adagio, petite allegro, alignment, balance. Barre. Center. Feet. Head.....

I have been dancing since I was three years old. I studied closely under Gelsey Kirkland for two summers and attended the Nutmeg Conservatory. I am Vagonava Certified. I have been accepted to the School of American Ballet, Richmond Ballet, Oklahoma City Ballet, and Ballet MET. I am planning on pursuing a professional career in ballet.
