About me


Hello, my name is Stella and I am a dance instructor and choreographer based in Toronto, Canada. I believe that everyone can benefit from learning and experiencing dance. I am passionate about helping each dancer master their instrument and discover individual expression.

  • Registered teacher with Royal Academy of Dance (RAD)

  • Certified teacher with American Ballet Theatre NTC (2021)

  • Certificate in Ballet Teaching Studies, RAD (2024)

Private Ballet Coaching


Offering classes at recreational and competitive levels as well as private coaching sessions.

  • Refine ballet technique - from extensions to jumps, from turnout to pointe work

  • Prepare for performance - learn pieces from repertoire, clean existing routines for performance, enter competitions or auditions

  • Personalized training to achieve your personal goals

Throughout my professional dance education I had the privilege of learning about different approaches and styles of ballet technique. Integrating this knowledge, I want to help dancers solidify their technique as a means to find their unique and authentic expression. Dancers are not just athletes after all, ultimately they are artists.

Choreography and dance workshops


As a choreographer I have worked in ballet, contemporary and jazz and have received multiple awards for pieces shown at various dance competitions.I also enjoy creating dance workshops that introduce new dance styles or explore artistic
concepts with participants.
