Welcome!

Ballet is an art form as unique as the individual dancer.  I work one-on-one with adult students & children ages 10+, whether you're just starting out or have been practicing for some time.  I believe every movement has a purpose, and understanding the “why” and "how" behind technique is key to clarity & confidence!

What is Ballet as Basis?

Image: Harvey Edwards

Throughout my years of working as a professional ballet dancer and developing a mind-body connection, I have found that the importance of creating a solid foundation is of utmost importance. After graduating from University still looking for solid ground, I've found that the one thing that will always prevail is one's faith and commitment to what one does. Which is why, born out of the fusion of psychology and my dance background, I have created a program tailored specifically for the unique individual. Here, you will be provided with a nurturing and detail-oriented environment that focuses on the correct use of muscles and execution of ballet movements.


Included in my ballet classes are:

  • A strong basis in classical ballet technique
  • Answers to questions and concerns about proper ballet technique, and correct use of muscles
  • Workshops in executing specific movements
  • Developing a strong mind-body connection
  • Creating a program tailored specifically for you
  • Take-home exercises to enhance your progress
  • Developing long + lean muscles
  • Fun and fulfillment along the way!

 Anastasia is such a gem!! She helped me prepare for a role for which I had to play a ballet dancer. She is super kind and takes time to explain the movements in details. I had so much fun working with her! Would recommend 100%!!

I've worked with Anastasia over the past 6 months as an adult beginner and I've felt so much more improvement with my technique. She always takes my goals into consideration and has a great eye for the smallest of details to help me improve. She's also very knowledgeable with dancer anatomy to support a stronger turnout and build strength. I always look forward to making progress with Anastasia!

I immensely enjoy working with Anastasia. She is such an exceptional and knowledgable trainer. I am an intermediate ballet student, but I need help to fine tune my technique especially with the basics. She has the patience and the keen eye in helping me achieve better technique. I don't get many corrections in my other classes so getting lots of useful corrections is wonderful.
