TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Stephanie approaches teaching and coaching with the belief that every dancer has the capacity to be an artist. Her teaching emphasises both technical excellence and thoughtful artistry, guiding dancers to move with intention, presence, and clarity. She especially enjoys working with dancers to refine quality of movement, musicality, and expressive depth.

Whether in a group setting or individual coaching, Stephanie aims to support each dancer’s continued growth, helping them refine their strengths and develop their unique qualities as artists. Her approach integrates contemporary movement principles within a strong classical foundation, with attention to dynamic energy, precision, and detail.

Stephanie has taught ballet technique, pointe, and variations, and has coached dancers at various stages of their journeys — from pre-professional and university students to adults and professionals. She believes in meeting dancers where they are and fostering a supportive environment for them to grow as both artists and individuals.
