About me

I’ve been teaching dance since 2017, working with kids, teens, and adults. I trained in ballet and contemporary dance in Ukraine and have been based in Tampere since 2022.

I believe dance should feel accessible, expressive, and fun for everyone, regardless of age or experience. My classes are held in small groups, which means every student gets real attention and progresses at their own pace.

I adapt to each group, so language is never a barrier. I do my best to make every student feel seen and supported, whether it’s their very first class or their hundredth.

The classes

Classes are held in small groups, which means you get real attention and progress at your own pace. The atmosphere is supportive and relaxed — there is no pressure to be perfect, and mistakes are a natural part of learning.

Each class is structured but never rigid. We warm up properly, work on technique and coordination, and always leave room for expression and fun. I adapt the material to the group, so everyone feels challenged without feeling overwhelmed.

FAQ

Do I need any dance experience?

Not at all. Most groups are open to complete beginners, just bring the desire to move.

Yes. Workshops are a great way to try before committing to a full course. You can also join a course at the start of a new block.

Small. Everyone gets personal attention, and the atmosphere is relaxed and supportive.

Comfortable clothes you can move in leggings, a top, joggers. Clean indoor shoes or socks. No jeans, no loose hair, no jewellery.

For the youngest kids (3–6), parents can stay nearby. For older groups, we ask parents to wait outside — kids usually settle in much better that way.

Just let me know in advance. We’ll figure something out together.

Classes follow the Finnish school calendar. We don’t meet during school holidays or public holidays. I’ll always remind you in advance.
