I'm Jamie and I started dancing at an early age and quickly decided that I wanted to pursue dance as a career.

​

I danced competitively with Elite Dance Studio in Kanata and after High School, I studied Modern Dance at SUNY Potsdam. I  graduated  from there in 2005 with a BA in Dance with a Minor in Visual Arts.

 

In 2014 I had the opportunity to take over ownership of Boldt Dance Studio and have loved owning my own studio! I am certified in Aerial Arts and have my level 1 and 2 certification for Acrobatic Arts as well as my Preschool Acrobatic Arts Certification.

 

I have been teaching and choreographing recreational and competitive dancers for over a decade now. I also work with several local community agencies to help those with various levels of abilities have access to dance.

​

My favourite part of dance is watching dancers of all ages and backgrounds enjoy the art of dance. 

My name is Joanna and I'm one of the Owners of Boldt Dance Studio.

​

I am a Registered Social Worker and a Director with Children's Mental Health in Brockville.

​

My step-daughter's love of dance brought me into this partnership in 2018!

​

Even though my main work at Boldt is the accounting and office management, I love watching the children grow in their love of dance and their team spirit! Boldt Dance Studio is about being a part of a family!

My name is Ben and I'm one of the owners of Boldt Dance Studio.

Hi, I'm Abbey and I started dancing when I was 3 years old and graduated from Boldt when I left for University.

I have always enjoyed Jazz and Tap classes however I'm grateful that my mother encouraged met to pursue Ballet and other styles including Lyrical, Modern, Acro and Hip Hop.

​

While spending most of my free time at a dance studio, I somehow managed to take part in school musicals which sparked my interest in Musical Theatre.

​

I have completed a Bachelor's of Science degree as well as a Bachelor's of Education degree and I spend my days teaching in Elementary Schools and my evenings teaching dance at Boldt. I have been teaching with Boldt since 2018.

Hello, name is Taylor!

​

I started gymnastics at 3 and moved on to dance when I was in Grade 7. My favourite styles were always hip hop, tap, and acro, but I did everything BOLDT offered when I was dancing myself! I taught with BOLDT when I was in Grade 9 until I finished high school.

 

I left for university to Fredericton, New Brunswick in 2017. I danced on the UNB varsity dance team and also taught dance while I got my Bachelors of Arts with a major in Sociology.

 

I just moved back home and was given the opportunity to teach at BOLDT again. I’ve always loved to teach and I’m extremely grateful to be back! I’m excited to be a part of the team and watch the incredible things dance can do!

​

Dance makes me happy and I feel like I can be myself without being judged and getting to move my body in different ways. I really enjoy working with kids - it makes me happy to see they're happy and having fun. I also love watching and helping them achieve the skills they want to be able to do!

Hi, my name is Kristina! I have been dancing since the age of 5 in Ukraine. I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Ukraine from Ukraine Academy of Culture, faculty of Modern Choreography.

​

I have worked as a dancer in Ukraine, China, South Korea and Turkey. I have won many awards for dancing and choreography. Now I'm in Canada and feel lucky enough to work at Boldt. For me, dance is a fresh breath of air. It allows you to share what's hidden inside of you. Dance is an opportunity to be different for awhile. 

My name is Shanna and I have been dancing since the age of 4. My passion for dance began with tap, ballet, jazz and lyrical at a studio up north in Timmins, Ontario. The dance studio became my second home and by the time I was 16 years old I was there 6 days a week and teaching my own classes. The year I graduated high school, my dance teacher gave me a tap solo that I danced with a live big band. It was an amazing experience and one I will unlikely ever forget!

 

At the age of 21, my love for dance became my career and I began teaching at a ballroom and Latin dance studio in Ottawa. Through the years I have brought my students to many competitions and have successfully choreographed numerous award winning routines for both professionals and amateurs. At this studio, I met and fell in love with my husband and we now currently teach Latin and ballroom at Boldt.

 

Being able to express myself through dance has always been necessary for my soul and I can’t wait to share my love for dance. Thank you Boldt for giving me this opportunity!
