About Me

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!

Are you seeking for a creative and uplifting way to consciously reconnect with yourself ? Transcendental Embodiment is a dance practice that will guide you to embrace your emotions and help you to reach your true authentic self. Through meditative dances, guided imageries, and energy healing modalities.

I am here to support and guide you in your process of discovering your inner power through:
- energy alignment, guided meditation, breathing exercises
- self-expression & subjective experience through dance
- expanding your heart space, emotional awareness, and healing in movement and dance
- release of stress, judgment, and trapped emotions
- grounding, self-care, resilience
- and more...

The sessions are tailored to the specific needs and capabilities of each individual.

*Dance can be a practice of introspection, transformation, and transcendence of one’s subjective experiences into a worldwide journey.

*

As a professional dancer, teacher, and performance maker I am introspectively processing each working day in consciousness, listening to my upcoming emotions, triggers, or anxiety when it comes to be physically and mentally performative in a team, or as a freelance artist.
Instead of suppressing these emotions and creating energetical and mental blockages (that can end up into somatic pains or burn-out): we should pay more attention to these inner warning messages and strengthen our emotional intelligence to be able to cope with the infinitesimal external stimulus and daily-stress of our very fast lives.
It can be challenging to sense with clarity what is the origin of some feelings of frustration, unsatisfaction, discomfort, or grief, and it can be intimidating or discouraging to walk alone on that path.

This class helps you to commit to your better-being, presence to oneself countering wellness procrastination.
* What do you need to feel lighter, brighter, or happier in your everyday life? *
* What is your self-achievement potentiality? *

- For who? : For anyone who enjoys movement and dance, and desires a better connection and understanding with their moving bodies. / One-to-one or group sessions.
- Where? : Online via SKYPE or at the student's location.

Values: Integrity, Transparency, Respect, Cooperation

* About TE :
Transcendental Embodiment (TE) is the result of three years of research and development. Merging from a movement philosophy research entitled Behind & Beyond, to its phenomenological understanding. The metaphysical unity of the tangible and intangible bodies expounds on the undeniable relationships between those in the physical realm. The tangible body (the material vehicle), the intangibles bodies (psychological, emotional, energetical, and spiritual). As a dance healing practice, guiding the practitioner to conscious corporeality, and subjective emotional understanding, this methodology can also be a useful tool to improve artistry and technical skills on a deeper level, widening mindful creativity, awareness, empathy, and sensitivity.

(TE) movement and dance methodology combines a meditative approach in stillness and through movement, awakening the mind, spreading the awareness into different body parts; putting a specific emphasis on improvisation skills, and musicality, following energy impulses and intuitive movement and increasing the flow of energy. Inviting the practitioners to practice resilience, non-self definition, non-judgment, self-care and self-love, integrity, and acceptance to overcome technical, physical, and mental limits holding the practitioner from his self-achievement potentiality. This approach builds itself crescendo on subjective movement reflexivity and introspective journey through the following process:

Classes, choreography and staging! in person or virtually

Are you going home and want to do something special? Let's do it together, whether it's a dance, a performance, or whatever you want—alone, with your partner, family, bridesmaids, or whoever you want. There are two options: I'll teach you how to dance the genre you're going to dance plus the choreography, or I'll just teach you the choreography. It's up to you.

The cost of creating choreographies depends on their duration (in addition to the cost of the class and/or rehearsal).

All ages and levels, don't wait any longer!

📌It doesn't always take two for things to work...
To begin to connect, assimilate and experiment with new KNOWLEDGE, the most IMPORTANT thing is the body, the attitude, perseverance and a great pinch of confidence!
I always like to approach the codes of different dance disciplines, based on structures that work on the physical, rhythmic, and creative aspects.
There is an idea that Tango is difficult to learn, and of course if we approach it with that label, it will be that way. Starting from the main concept of tango, WALKING, something that we all do most of the time, dancing tTANGO is within everyone's reach.🤗
Another very important point is the way to assimilate and understand it 😉😅
❤️‍🔥What will the classes be like, you ask?
I'll tell you a little bit, we are going to develop the structure in the work of weight changes, the step, projection of the walk, the pivot, understanding the kinesphere individually and as a couple translated into the hug, the turns and the spiral torso to understand the momentum in various exercises, the eights so famous in tango, the basic step and universal exit, walks with the concept of lanes and much more from various sequences that familiarize you with the technical needs to be able to perform the steps without leaving aside the dynamics, pulse, accent and compas of the tango. Everything will be raised in the background in a more organic way. It's not just about learning individual steps, and then...what do we do 🧐? It is not the form that should take the leading role, but the way in which you express that form.
We will also let your creative and playful side be part of the process, through a tool that I consider very valuable, which is improvisation 👌 since it allows you to find your own style and recognize your strengths and weaknesses to continue growing in your passion for dance.
With all these tools, entering the world of more complex sequences and why not, creating your own, will be one more step and not an impossible challenge to achieve.🤩
Don't forget that the steps that are known today and a large part of the sequences emerged from a restless and creative mind, which explored synonymous with IMPROVISE❗️
Let's go through the process together and hold each other in a hug.

I offer adapted dance classes for people with limited mobility and wheelchair users — online or at home. Indian dance Bollywood makes extensive use of hand gestures, eye and head movements, and torso expressions (there’s even a separate genre called gesture dance), which makes it perfectly suited for learners of all physical abilities.

In class, we also use accessories such as candles and scarves. Dance brings vibrant emotions, energy, physical activity, and connection with a confident instructor. It’s a joyful way to spend your time, moving to world-famous Bollywood hits!

If you want to improve your posture, flexibility and body strength while having fun, you are in the right place!
As an experienced personal trainer and dance teacher I can help you strengthen your body and improve your physical performance. By combining the principles of pilates, I can make your workout fun and effective.
Ballet is a great form of dance that improves posture,flexibility, coordination and overall body strength. Throughout the class, dancers are introduced to fundamental ballet steps and movements performed to classical music, in order to understand ballet technique and vocabulary. During the class, we learn exercises both at the barre and in the center, designed to develop balance, alignment, and control. Through training, participants learn to connect with their bodies, express theimselves and discover the elegance of ballet.
Contemporary (modern) dance is based on the principles of fluidity, gravity, and the natural use of breath . The participants have freedom to find their own movement identity, connect with their emotion while doing combinations travelling through the floor that develop their technique, strength and flexibility

The Hoop is a wonderful fitness and dance tool and easy to fall in love with! Moving with it can improve your fitness and strengh, your creative expression, your self esteem and dance skills.

Depending on your personal goals, my live online classes focus on dance or fitness movements. This way or the other, I will create a fun and structured practice for you. The class is suitable for beginners and intermediate students, with advanced options for experienced hoopers, including multihoop variations.

Each session follows a clear structure so you can feel guided, safe and progressively challenged:

1. Warm-Up
Gentle full-body warm-up to mobilize joints, activate the core and prepare the body for hoop movement. We focus on coordination, balance and flow.

2. Technique & Skill Development
Step-by-step hoop technique, starting from foundational movements and gradually building complexity.
Advanced students receive layered variations and optional multihoop techniques, while beginners work on solid basics.

3. Choreography & Flow
We combine learned techniques into a short choreographic sequence. The focus is on fluid transitions, musicality and personal expression rather than perfection.

4. Cool Down & Integration
A calm cool-down with stretching and breath awareness to release tension and integrate the practice.

Original Cast of The Devil Wears Prada and Pretty Woman The Musical

In this class, I would introduce students to a variety of dance styles coming from India. This includes Bollywood, Desi Hip-Hop, folk and classical fusions, and Indian classical styles such as Kuchipudi. If learning about different cultures interests you, or you miss dancing in South Asian styles, I teach all levels from beginner to advanced and would be happy to accomodate for any needs. Each class involves one short choreography, which by the end of a 60-minute class you would be able to master.

In my classes, I work with mindfulness, presence, energetic expansion, and ancestry as foundational elements of the creative process. Through embodied practices, I guide students in developing self-awareness, a deeper connection with themselves, and a conscious interaction with space. This work can be directed both toward the construction of truthful, grounded characters and toward more abstract explorations, engaging the interior dimensions of each individual and their unique expressive potential.
I am a Brazilian actress and educator based in Glasgow, with over 13 years of experience in theatre and butoh. With a background in Dramatic Arts, Psychoanalysis, and Literature, my work is grounded in ongoing field research and embodied practice, bringing together lived experience and teaching. I have been teaching since 2012 and successfully transitioned to online instruction in 2019, building a loyal and engaged community of students in Brazil. I am now excited to expand my work and share this practice with students worldwide.
As a member of the Brazilian theatre group Coletivo MÓ, I specialize in physical theatre techniques inspired by masters such as Luís Otávio Burnier, Jerzy Grotowski, Eugenio Barba, Kazuo Ohno, Tatsumi Hijikata, and Tadashi Endo. My practice also incorporates elements of Butoh dance and clow, creating a rich, multidimensional approach to performance, creativity, and self-expression.
