Ballet North Vancouver Performance with SJ Dance Productions
At Centennial Theatre in North Vancouver, Canada Academy’s Portfolio Piano service brings classical piano artistry to ballet stages. I have partnered with SJ Dance Productions, delivering dynamic accompaniment for pieces ranging from Chopin ballades to Liszt études and Beethoven sonatas.
I specialize in aligning music with movement—whether it's the graceful 3/4 adagios, crisp 2/4 frappés, or sweeping allegros—each phrase tailored to enhance dancers’ timing, phrasing, and emotional expression.
For classical ballet workshops, live piano accompaniment is provided with a strong emphasis on musicality, structure, and adaptability.
Sessions often begin with expressive repertoire such as The Dying Swan to establish an artistic atmosphere, followed by carefully structured warm-up and barre exercises.
The accompaniment is responsive to the instructor’s tempo and combinations, supporting clarity in pliés, tendus, adagio, and allegro while maintaining a cohesive musical flow that enhances danc
For children’s classes, the musical approach is designed to be engaging, dynamic, and age-appropriate. Familiar and enjoyable repertoire—including Disney songs, contemporary K-pop, and imaginative themes such as “demon hunters”—is incorporated to sustain attention and encourage participation.
This approach fosters rhythm, coordination, and musical awareness in a fun and motivating environment, helping young dancers stay focused and connected throughout the class.
For adult and pre-professional dancers, accompaniment is tailored to support higher technical and artistic demands. Classical repertoire such as selections from The Nutcracker, along with waltzes, mazurkas, and lyrical adagios, is used to align with traditional ballet training.
Emphasis is placed on consistent tempo, clear phring, musical sensitivity, and close coordination with the instructor—key elements that contribute to refining technique, expression, and overall performance quality.


Beyond the stage, I am passionate about teaching piano to students of all ages and skill levels. My approach combines solid classical foundations with creative exploration, ensuring that every student develops not only strong technique but also a personal connection to music. From beginners discovering their first melodies to advanced students preparing for recitals or exams, I tailor lessons to inspire confidence, discipline, and artistry.
