SUMMER DANCE LAB

Host of LI Space and lead teacher of the Lab. Brilliantly technical, deeply musical, she unlocks each movement with crystal-clear control, bold strength, and an emotional rhythmic current. On July 12 she shares the Heels Collab class with Yana.

I’m a 19-year-old choreographer and dancer from Finland, with a lifelong passion for movement and performance. I began my dance journey in ballroom, building a strong technical foundation, and over the past 4–5 years I have fully dedicated myself to reggaeton and commercial dance styles. Throughout my career, I have gained valuable international experience, performing on stage with artists, assisting dance classes in Spain, and taking part in multiple competitions. I’m constantly driven to grow as a performer and creator, bringing confidence, energy, and authenticity to every stage and studio.

I’m Angelina — a dancer and teacher based in Helsinki, originally from Ukraine. I’ve been dancing for 16 years, training at Totem Dance School in Kyiv in classical ballet, modern jazz, and contemporary, and later on scholarship at Ballettschule Theater Basel in Switzerland. I competed at YAGP and trained across Europe, but after injuries I shifted from performing into teaching. In my classes, I focus on real feedback and clear corrections — I watch, break things down, and help you understand the difference so you can actually improve. I adapt the level of push depending on your goals, whether you want to grow fast or simply enjoy the process. I currently teach contemporary jazz, modern jazz, ballet floor work, stretching, conditioning, pirouettes, and self-massage in both regular classes and workshops.

My name is Emilia. Dance has been a huge part of my life for over 12 years, growing from a student into a professional dancer and teacher. I am a 21-year-old Finnish Champion and have represented Finland at European and World Championships. Throughout my journey, I have traveled internationally for competitions, gaining experience both on and off the stage. My main focus is Latin dance, where I value not only technique, but also emotion, energy, and a deep connection to the music. I have also trained in High Heels and Reggaeton, which have helped me expand my style, expressiveness, and freedom of movement. My strengths include musicality, flexibility, femininity, and attention to detail. I enjoy helping others discover their individuality through movement and find a natural flow in dance. At the moment, I am no longer competing and focus on personal growth, femininity, and artistic development, believing that true dance begins from within.

I am a professional dancer and choreographer based in Helsinki, specializing in Heels and Frame Up Strip style. I have performed on live TV shows, music videos, commercial projects, festivals, and theatre productions, and competed internationally with a dance crew across Portugal, Spain, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, and Finland. My Frame Up training includes work with leading pioneers of the style, including Baina Basanova, Anastasia Yurasova, and Irina Podshivalova. My choreographic work explores the space between conventional and experimental movement, driven by research and creativity. I also focus on helping my students develop stronger musicality and a deeper connection to the music.
