In my class the focus will be to tailor the movement  to your specific needs whilst sharing with you all my knowledge to help you grow and achieve your goals.
We will work on your technique as well as your artistry.
A beautiful dancer doesn't only have a strong technique but the ability to embody a character and convey a story through movements. 
All my classes are open to all levels, if you are a beginner dancer we will take the time to go in details through every moves, if you are more advanced I will challenge your technique and artistry but most importantly we will have fun sharing our common passion for dance.
I teach all my classes at my home dance studio with high speed internet and with a professional mic for you to be able to hear me clearly over the music.

Sacha worked with my daughter to get her ready for musical theater auditions.  She was great!  Very responsive and made my daughter with very little dancing experience, feel extremely comfortable. 
I highly recommend Sacha.

My daughter loves her lessons with Sacha. Sacha was engaging and thoughtful- focusing attention on how to develop her emotions in her dance. Highly recommend!

Sacha is a wonderful instructor, I'm so happy I chose her. She is super knowledgeable and a great instructor. I'm looking forward to continuing my weekly ballet. lessons. Highly recommend

It was a wonderful lesson and girls really enjoyed and learned a lot!!!  Thank you Sacha!!!

My daughter had an amazing first lesson, after just one session, she learned so much. She is very comfortable with Sacha and super excited for upcoming classes!!

Sacha is an amazing teacher! She helped my daughter to learn how to connect her emotions to convey a story through her dance movements, something my daughter was lacking at first but after a couple of sessions with Sacha, my daughter became a better at it. Although my daughter has great technique, it’s important to tell a story through your movements and Sacha helped her with that. My daughter has already been to 2 different dance competitions and has won first in her category and overall. Her other teachers, friends and family were amazed when my daughter danced on stage and they noticed the change in her when she performed. She had so many compliments. I will definitely recommend Sacha and will definitely be using her again for my daughter. Thank you Sacha!

Sacha was AMAZING! My fiancé (now husband) got us dance lessons with Sacha for Christmas, our wedding was just a couple months away and we wanted to work on our dance moves. Sacha was phenomenal and made us the perfect first dance for our big day. My husband does not know how to clap and sing, but Sacha was so good at breaking things down and explaining it,  we were very blessed. We certainly felt out of her league as she is a beautiful and talented dancer, but she never made us feel that way. She was patient and cared a lot for our success! What a wonderful experience, we 10/10 recommend Sacha for any of your dance needs (and any level).

Ms. Sacha is a wonderful dance teacher. She is patient kind and very skilled. I would recommend her to anyone with young dancers.

I absolutely love my classes with Sacha. She is incredibly skilled, professional, kind and warm. I highly recommend her.

Sacha is an absolute delight to work with, 
She is very skilled, and very easy to work with. 
I highly recommend her.

Sacha is the best dance teacher I  could have asked for. I started training with her about 5 months ago to prep for my college application and I got in thanks to her.
She helped me so much with my technique, my flexibility and my connection to my emotion that I feel like a brand new dancer. I can’t thank her enough, she is brilliant.

Miss Sacha is a wonderful teacher , my daughter cannot wait each week for her class with her. We ‘ve been trying to find a teacher that is kind ,motivates our child and inspires her and we found all of it and beyond that in Sacha.
I see my daughter’s passion for dance growing bigger after each class.
Sacha is a true gem and I already recommended her to my daughter’s friends.

We’ve had two classes at the time of this review.  Our expressed goal was to introduce my daughter to different techniques and keep her in motion, to hopefully foster a love of dance.  Sacha is magnificent, she has exceeded our expectations.  The first class, while she was getting to know my 6 year old daughter, she seemed to observe and adapt to her, meeting her where she was and sharing control of the class, even letting her suggest a dance world involving rainbows.  She let her use her imagination while teaching the movement.  Needless to say, my daughter told everyone standing still that she loved Sacha and loved dance.  Second class, Sacha started class with concepts of ballet, capturing my daughters attention easily. Historically, she will stall and distract when in lessons, but not for Sacha.  My daughter also has a tendency to interrupt and share, and Sacha is patient and acknowledges and redirects her with grace.   She also remembered the discussions they had during the last class and asked about it, which is a beautiful way to show a child that what they think and share is important. My daughter asked her about Frozen and the next class she used a Frozen song for choreo. Outstanding. She also offers a great deal of praise which is so important for early learners. I feel lucky to have found her, highly recommend her to teach children and any student who thrives in a supportive, positive and encouraging environment.

We just finished our first lesson and Miss Sacha was so good with our daughter that she can't wait for the next lesson!
