Dance with Us

Welcome to Niagara Dance & Fitness Studio,

where Passion meets Technique. 

Hi, I'm Ms. Brenda, and I’m so excited to welcome you to a place where passion and purpose meet technique. My journey in dance began early with the RAD method followed by a transition to study under the Cecchetti Method as my main Ballet focus. I trained under professional ballerina Masha Stom, and it was during these formative years, while dancing as part of her company, that I discovered my true calling—ballet and teaching.

After undergoing the National Ballet School’s prestigious three-year intensive Teacher Training Program, I later earned my Associate status with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD). Upon graduation, I became the Ballet Director, and through continued dedication and advanced courses with both the National Ballet School and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School, I went on to achieve my Licentiate Examination with the ISTD.

Driven by a desire to always offer the very best for my students, I obtained Full Membership with the Canadian Dance Teachers Association (CDTA) and joined the Professional Adjudicators Alliance. With a thirst for knowledge, I hold Modern Certification credentials with CDTA.

With over 40 years of experience in teaching and Directing across both recreational and professional levels, I’ve been honoured to watch countless students succeed in competitions and excel in their ballet examinations and securing spots with Team Canada in Dance.

At Niagara Dance & Fitness Studio, we are committed to nurturing every dancer’s potential in a supportive and professional environment.
