Bella Klassen is a 19 year old professional dancer originally from Canada, but currently living in California pursuing her dance dreams. She trained with YYC Dance Project in Calgary, AB and Club Dance in Arizona. She is a past “Best Dancer” winner in competitive dance in North America and has worked with some of the best choreographers in the industry. Most recently Bella worked in Thailand on the famous “Paris By Night” show and you may see her in a commercial or two! In June Bella performed in Australia and spent time working with students in the Sydney and Gold Coast. She has assisted choreographers like Brian Friedman, Paul Becker, Michael Dameski and Derek Piquette as well as having worked as an assistant for Mandy Yip of Acrobatic Arts for many years. Bella has appeared on NBC’s “World of Dance” and you can see her dance in the Netflix show” Julie and The Phantoms,” - directed by Kenny Ortega. Her favorite styles to teach are jazz, jazz funk, hip hop and contemporary but she is also classically trained from the Alberta Ballet School, so technique is number one in her teaching. She is also known for teaching a very thorough conditioning class/warm up. Bella’s favorite thing about working with young dancers is showing them that no matter what - hard work and a passion for dance can lead you to your dreams - but nothing happens without that!
