About Me

Hello there! I'm Imogen, and I'm thrilled to share my love for dance with you. With over three decades of experience in the art of movement, I bring a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to every class.

🎓 Training and Expertise: Trained at The Bush Davies School of Ballet and Performing Arts and The Urdang Academy, my journey in dance has been a rich tapestry of classical ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, street, and musical theatre. I've dedicated my life to mastering these styles, and I'm excited to pass on my expertise to you.

🌟 Teaching Philosophy: My teaching philosophy is simple: dance is for everyone. Whether you're three or eighty-three, a beginner or a seasoned dancer, there's a place for you in my studio. I believe in nurturing each student's unique talents and fostering a supportive environment where creativity can flourish.

💃 Wide Range of Offerings: I offer a diverse range of classes tailored to your interests and skill level. Whether you're looking to perfect your technique, unleash your creativity, or simply have fun, there's something for everyone in my classes.

🏫 Teaching Experience: My teaching journey spans nursery schools, primary schools, secondary schools, FE colleges, adult education, and community settings. I've had the privilege of working with students of all ages and backgrounds, and I'm passionate about making dance accessible to all.

🌈 Inclusive Dance Advocacy: In addition to traditional dance styles, I'm deeply committed to inclusive dance. I believe that dance has the power to transcend barriers and bring people together, regardless of age, ability, or background. In my studio, everyone is welcome and celebrated for who they are.

🌟 Let's Dance Together!: Whether you're taking your first steps or looking to refine your technique, I'm here to support you on your dance journey. Let's move, groove, and make magic together!

Education

I started my dance training in a local dance school under Miss Christine Reynolds.
At age 16 I studied ballet and theatre dance at the Bush Davies School of Ballet & Performing Arts. I also attended The Urdang Academy

Experience / Qualifications

After completing my dance studies, I taught RAD syllabus ballet in a local dance school, and it was here that I gained my Royal Academy of Dance Teaching Certificate.
I also obtained my MA (Dist.) in Dance Technique Pedagogy.
A stretch and release dance class offers a unique blend of movement, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Participants experience the physical benefits of improved flexibility, increased range of motion, and reduced muscle tension through targeted stretching techniques. This type of class helps to alleviate tightness in muscles and joints, promoting better posture and alignment while preventing injuries. Beyond the physical, the focus on mindful movement and breath encourages mental relaxation and stress relief, fostering a sense of calm and well-being. Additionally, the emphasis on fluid, flowing movements enhances body awareness and encourages a deeper connection between mind and body. Overall, a stretch and release dance class provides a holistic approach to self-care, leaving participants feeling energized, refreshed, and balanced.
Dance fitness offers a dynamic and enjoyable way to achieve health and wellness goals. Incorporating elements of dance into fitness routines not only improves cardiovascular health, endurance, and flexibility but also promotes weight management and muscle tone. Unlike traditional workouts, dance fitness engages participants with rhythmic movements and music, making exercise feel more like a joyful experience than a chore. Moreover, it enhances coordination, balance, and agility, benefiting overall physical function and reducing the risk of injury. Beyond its physical benefits, dance fitness boosts mood and mental well-being by releasing endorphins and reducing stress levels. It also fosters self-confidence and body positivity, as individuals embrace their bodies' capabilities and celebrate movement in a supportive environment. Dance Fitness offers a holistic approach to health that nourishes the body, mind, and spirit.

Conscious Ballet. Train with what you love and regain mobility, strength and flexibility
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.😁

HATHA YOGA/ASHTANGA YOGA/YOGA NIDRA/Meditations. Improve your physical and mental health with the best coach in Ukraine!
Hey, I'm manager of yoga instructor Diana. She's from Ukraine, so I'll help with translations and communication. Hatha yoga - Yoga helps us to strengthen the body from the outside and inside. It helps us to improve our inner state and find balance. It is an opportunity to organize thoughts and focus on the here and now. In addition, yoga strengthens the body and improves mood. It has a positive effect on the flexibility and balance of our body. What are the benefits of this practice? First of all, it helps to strengthen the human body, build endurance and willpower. This yoga helps to relax and improves the ability to cope with stress. It has a positive effect on blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Due to the diversity of this practice, it improves muscle flexibility. Also, this practice fills the body with energy, boosts immunity and improves your posture. This practice is suitable for both women and men of all ages. The practice is a bit more complicated than hatha yoga, but it is also suitable for beginners. It is possible to move further in terms of complexity, using more dynamics and increasing the complexity of asanas. Further complication is focused on the use of asanas with deflections and inverted positions. Also, you can smoothly move into Ashtanga yoga or dynamic yoga. Diana has three years of experience teaching modern dance and yoga individually. She has more than 5 years of teaching experience in groups and dozens of satisfied students. Therefore, she will definitely provide everyone with an individual approach, find the right pace and the necessary asanas. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to text me <3 Let's change our lives today, not every Monday, right?)

Traditional flamenco dancing at home (Casablanca) or online
Flamenco is a magical dance art that fascinates us with grace, rhythms and deep emotions. Flamenco allows us to have a strong and flexible body, an ideal posture, lose weight, train the heart, raise stress... In addition, flamenco develops memory and a sense of rhythm. By working with various accessories (fan, trunk, shawl, skirt), the dancer becomes a true actress who tells her story in exciting dance. Do you want to become one? Book your first class!

Science , Chemistry, Biology ,Public Health and Health Basics
Once upon a time, I found science, math and health courses a bit tricky, just like you might. But guess what? I didn't let that stop me. Instead, I turned the tough parts into stepping stones for success. I figured out a way to understand science and math by breaking them into smaller, easier parts. It wasn't always easy, but I didn't give up. Those challenges became the basis for my journey to success. Now, imagine this: I'm not just a tutor; I'm someone who conquered the subjects that once seemed really hard. Science, math, and health-related courses became my friends in life, leading me to a place where I want to help you succeed. I know what it's like, and I know we can do this together. Let's make your learning journey a story of success

Shuffle/Cutting shapes dance lessons with a super enthusiastic teacher
I started my journey of learning how to shuffle/cut shapes a little over a year ago and it ignited a flame of passion in me like nothing had in a very long time. I'd say it's turned into a somewhat spiritual experience for me. Although there is of course still a lot for me to learn and improve on and I feel like my journey has just started, I feel confident that I can help others get started on their own journey. My fundamentals as well as my knowledge and understanding of the dance are pretty solid and I would never try to teach you something that is outside of my expertise. I think at the end of the day though, the most important thing with dance is to just have fun and to learn to find confidence and freedom in your expression through it, so most of all I hope I can help you find that.

Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!
Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE
