Hi! I’m Lena Ballerina, and I love to dance, groove, move, stretch, and enjoy music. It is such a treasure getting to introduce these joys to those who are just discovering the world.
Finding expression through movement is my favorite. I’m a lifelong dancer with a minor in dance from the University of Washington, multiple yogi certifications (including one in kids’s yoga!), seven years’ experience leading adult athletic classes, and two years of mobile dance and gymnastics experience teaching children.
I care very much about providing each individual child what they need to be happy and comfortable in class, and know this looks different for each student. Some kids are more outgoing, some kids learn by quietly watching – but every child is so capable of thriving and learning if supported in the right ways. I will always slow down to listen because I value communication immensely, whether it be with directors or teachers at school, parents of students, or my students themselves.
I highly prioritize safety – keeping class sizes small, and my CPR and first aid certifications up to date.
As the sole employee of Raindrops & Rhythm, I’ll be the one teaching classes to your kiddos, communicating with schools, and answering your questions. Communication, and care, can break down at larger companies, but it won’t at Raindorps & Rhythm. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, I’m here!
