“Mastery is less about how well you do and more about who you are while you do it.”

When your mind, body, spirit, and emotions are in harmony, you will find yourself authentically aligned and fully expressed on and off the dance floor.

Your essence is rooted in your authenticity. I will help you see your magic so you can stand in it fully.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

You will have access to technical development, mindset coaching, nervous system regulation, spiritual tools and one-on-one feedback and guidance. The group meetings are virtual and serve people from all over the world. Each meeting is centered around the current needs of the members.

Courses & Private Mentorship

In addition to the resource library found via the Champions Club Anya developed dedicated programs to help dancers grow within their industries

Specializing in topics that are often deemed hard or impossible to teach, Anya developed programs to help you harness skills where most people assume they just don’t have the talent

You don’t have to be born with an it factor to be a great performer. You don’t need to be a creative mastermind to create brilliant choreography. And if you’re going to be a teacher, you should hold yourself accountable for not just the knowledge you have but how you communicate it.

Within these programs, you will have access to:

  • The Art of Being a Choreographer

  • The Art of Being a Performer

  • Latin Dance Teacher Training

  • "When I moved to New York to pursue my dance career, Anya was the only person who asked me what my goals were and what I was willing to do to achieve them. I knew from that moment she was serious. She has dedicated her time and belief to me unconditionally—and always brings out the best of me. She is an inspiration for all of us who believe in art, passion, and dance."
