Acerca de mí

Hello, I'm Elena.
I'm a professional ballet dancer and a highly qualified instructor with 20 years of teaching experience. I trained at the prestigious Vaganova Ballet Academy and was mentored by ballet masters from the Mariinsky Theatre (formerly known as the Kirov Theatre).

My Theatre Experience:
My experience in theatre encompasses both classical and contemporary ballets. Under the guidance of ballet masters from the Mariinsky stage, I performed solo parts in ballets such as "Swan Lake," "La Sylphide," "Scheherazade," "Giselle," "The Firebird," "Pa de Quatre," and "The Dying Swan." Additionally, I was the first performer of the leading roles in "Master and Margarita" and "Strauss in St. Petersburg." I had the privilege of dancing in the unique choreography of L. Jakobson, particularly in the ballet "Spartacus" and his choreographic miniatures.

Why Choose My Classes?
- Personalized Assessment:
Your first lesson includes a comprehensive evaluation of your strengths and weaknesses.
- Customized Program:
Based on the initial assessment, I create a tailored program to address your specific needs and help you build a strong foundation and confidence.
- Methodological Support:
Learn techniques and methods to become self-sufficient in your practice.

Specialized Workshops:
I also offer themed master classes, each focused on a specific topic, blending practical and methodological approaches tailored to your unique style.

Since 2020, I've been actively providing online consultations for new teachers, offering guidance and answers to questions related to your curriculum.

Ready to elevate your ballet skills? Join me online and let's get started!

See you soon!

The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes!
Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗
There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline.
Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁

La danza clásica es una disciplina muy positiva para el cuerpo y la mente. Te enseña desde edades tempranas a dominar tu cuerpo desde una perspectiva artística, facilitando aspectos positivos de autocontrol y las emociones tan complejos en las primeras etapas del desarrollo de un/a niño/a.
Del mismo modo, si tu pasión cuando eras pequeñ@ era la danza, también podemos realizar ejercicios relacionados con el ballet, en consonancia con el pilates para edades más avanzadas o para todas aquellas que necesiten trabajar el suelo pélvico.
¡Anímate, no te arrepentirás!

As a dancer, it is important to learn the history and principles of dance. Likewise, to learn different techniques and methodologies. It is a course that is taught in a theoretical and practical way; it will also be necessary to consider having an adequate space.

El barre es una disciplina dentro del pilates que se fusiona con el ballet.
Se trabaja de forma aeróbica varios ejercicios de resistencia usando de soporte una barra.
Con el barre podrás corregir tu postura corporal. Tonificarás la musculatura además de ganar agilidad y flexibilidad.
Al final de cada clase se realizará una vuelta a la calma.

Hi, I will teach you some ballet technique classes as a gentle yet technical method to work on body mobility and coordination so you can prepare your body to your dance class or your other physical activities.
Performed through conscious breathing at a gentle rhythm, your body will gain coordination, flexibility and a new ease of moving. It will feel strengthening and relaxing at the same time.
Classes may be delivered in English or French, or both, if you would like to take the opportunity to combine it with a language practice.
I look forward to your questions and doing PBT classes with you,

Stéphanie

I am a professional ballet dancer and teacher, currently active as a performer, which allows me to teach with up-to-date technique, discipline, and real-world experience. My specialty is ballet, where I work on posture, flexibility, strength, coordination, musicality, turns, jumps, and body control, adapting each class to the student's level and goals. I also teach Latin and Cuban rhythms, such as salsa, merengue, reggaeton, Zumba, Cuban conga, and Orisha dances, for those seeking a more dynamic, joyful, and energetic experience. As a Cuban, I bring authenticity, rhythm, and passion to every class. I also incorporate fitness exercises, core work, cardio, and stretching to help improve physical condition, tone the body, and build endurance. My classes are personalized, motivating, and designed to help you progress with confidence and achieve real results.
