Instructors: Mia and Ella, a dynamic dance duo hailing from Victoria, bring a fusion of talent, passion, and experience to the stage. Originally from Kelowna, BC, Mia, and Portland, Oregon, native Ella’s paths crossed while earning their Bachelor’s degrees in Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria, from there, the rest was history! While both work in the childcare field outside of their dance careers, both Mia and Ella have taught dance in a variety of settings including middle school dance classes, studios, workshops, etc. Their combined expertise has taken them on quite the performance journey, captivating audiences not only abroad but also locally in Victoria. Through their extensive performance and teaching experience, they are notorious for their infectious energy and enthusiastic demeanor. Their commitment to fostering an inclusive and encouraging environment is evident, as they prioritize ensuring that everyone is not just a spectator but an active participant, leaving audiences hyped up and inspired. From a young age, Mia and Ella have had dreams of teaching dance, fueled by a shared passion for cultivating inclusive and safe learning spaces—an aspect often lacking in many dance classes. In a realm where competition and perfection typically take center stage, Mia and Ella shift towards emphasizing the development of individual confidence and nurturing team spirit
