Teaching

"Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher."
— Japanese Proverb

Whether you are looking to pursue ballet seriously or are aiming to get in shape or have fun with it, a good ballet teacher is essential. They make all the difference in a dancer's development, from technique and artistry to mindset and confidence. Good teachers inspire, motivate, and challenge their students while creating a safe and positive learning environment. I strive to bring together the best aspects of the teachers I've had: the listening, the care, the keen eye for detail, and the encouraging presence.

Testimonials

"My dance students absolutely loved Kealan's partnering workshop. He's a very knowledgeable and gifted teacher and coach."
Renée Rioux
Artistic Director, Perpetual Motion Dance Studio Inc.
Kealan is friendly to everybody and was able to adapt to our crazy schedule. His class was just what we needed because at the time every dancer was overworked from rehearsals. It was entertaining but still technical. I am looking forward to working with him again in the future.
Loby Pimentel
Former prima ballerina at Philippine Ballet Theatre
"From the first plié to the final grand jeté, Kealan’s ballet classes are an absolute delight. With his clear corrections and inventive combinations he has a way of bringing out the best in his students, no matter their skill level. His passion for the art form is contagious, making every class a truly special experience."
Karen Thomas
Director of Peterborough School of Ballet and Interplay School of Dance
