Anastasiia – Dance Instructor / Studio Owner

Originally from Ukraine, I began my dance journey at the age of six, and from the very first class, I fell in love with it. Dance quickly became a central part of my life — something I couldn’t imagine living without. From a young age, I knew that I wanted not only to dance, but to teach and eventually build a dance studio of my own.

I started my teaching career in Ukraine, where I worked with both children and adults, building a strong foundation as an instructor. With over 13 years of teaching experience, I have developed a deep understanding of how to connect with students of different ages, backgrounds, and goals.

Growing up, I experienced many moves, which shaped my adaptability and openness to new environments. About four years ago, I moved to the United States, where I continued pursuing my passion for dance and teaching. After several years of growth and dedication, I became a studio owner in St. Charles — a milestone that I am truly proud of and deeply grateful for.

Beyond dance, I enjoy expressing creativity in many forms, including painting, pottery, and other artistic activities. I love spending time in nature and staying active on my days off. Dance, however, remains my greatest passion — something that continues to inspire me every day and that I am excited to share with others.
