Yulia’s is incredibly passionate about teaching. She believes that learning to dance is more than just developing technique – dancing teaches emotion, discipline, trust and respect. She interprets dancing as both an art form and a sport, and takes great pride in nurturing not only her students’ technical skills, but also their ability to translate music into feeling, inner sensation, and movement. One of the cornerstone concepts Yulia brings to DanceStream is that the body is an instrument. As with any other instrument, you have to first explore it and get to know it, then learn how to use it, and most importantly take care of it. Yulia weaves this guiding principle into her teaching, taking her students by the hand and showing them how to discover, develop, and protect their muscles and bodies. Her students are consistently ranked among the nation’s top competitors.

“One of the aspects I love most about working with students is the abundance of new discoveries I continue to make every day as a teacher.”​
