My name is Margarita Rebetskaya. I am a professional dancer, teacher, choreographer and founder of Spoon of Sugar dance studio.
I was born in Moscow, Russia. I started practicing artistic gymnastics from a young age and graduated from the school-studio associated with the Igor Moiseyev Ballet.
For 15 years, I danced with this renowned dance company all around the world
I also completed the theater studies department at GITIS (Russian University of Theatre Arts), worked as a director and choreographer on various projects, and taught gymnastics and ballet at the Ilze Liepa Academy.
In 2021, I came to Calgary and participated in a professional dance program at Decidedly Jazz Danceworks. I also work as a ballet and character dance teacher at the Alberta Ballet School and Decidedly Jazz Danceworks.
I invite your children to join my dance classes
Ballet
3-5 years 5-8 years Activities include learning basic ballet positions, practicing ballet exercises and movements, and exploring creative expression through dance.
Jazz
5-8 years 8-14 years In class we learn various dance techniques, practicing choreographed routines, and engaging in rhythmic exercises to develop their dance skills and performance abilities.
Gymnastics
5-12 years Through gymnastics training, children develop the necessary coordination, body control, and spatial awareness that directly contribute to their dance skills.
During the academic season (from September to May), we organize two performances with our students for the audience. The final annual concert takes place on a professional theater stage.
Performing on stage allows kids to develop:
● self-expression ● self-confidence ● discipline ● teamwork ● courage in public performing
Why kids should dance?
Getting stronger
Enhancing strength, flexibility, and balance.
Developing coordination
Developing grace, coordination, refining posture and rhythmic abilities
Building a confidence
Self-confidence while fostering an appreciation for music and movement
Our main principle is to learn through enjoyment, or in other words, to
"add a spoon of sugar to take the medicine"*
