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 \u2014 something I couldn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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 \u2014 a milestone that I am truly proud of and deeply grateful for.<\/p>\n
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 \u2014 something that continues to inspire me every day and that I am excited to share with others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8992,"template":"","class_list":["post-8991","team_member","type-team_member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/st-charles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member\/8991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/st-charles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/st-charles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team_member"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/st-charles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member\/8991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/st-charles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/st-charles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
