Maksym Shpachynskyi

Whether you're stepping into class for the first time or returning after years away, my goal is always to create an energetic, supportive, and motivating space where you can improve your technique, build confidence, and enjoy every step of your journey.

My teaching is rooted in decades of international experience as a professional dancer and educator, and my classes reflect a deep understanding of both the physical and emotional aspects of dance.

?? What You Can Expect in Class

Each session is thoughtfully structured to provide balance, challenge, and creativity:

Warm-Up & Conditioning
We begin with a functional warm-up designed to awaken the body, prevent injury, and build strength. I draw from Pilates, gymnastics, and dance conditioning principles, always with a focus on alignment, breath, and body awareness.

Technique Development
Whether we’re working on posture, turns, jumps, or transitions, technique is taught with clarity and care. I make space for corrections and questions, always explaining why things matter so that dancers develop true understanding, not just repetition.

Choreography
I introduce movement sequences gradually, building confidence and helping you find your own voice within the material. Musicality, dynamics, and expression are key elements — it’s not about just learning steps, but connecting with the movement and the music.

Cool Down & Feedback
Each class ends with time to reflect, stretch, and ask questions. I offer individual feedback in a positive, constructive way, helping dancers understand how to grow safely and consistently.

?? Who My Classes Are For

My classes are open to all — from experienced dancers to enthusiastic beginners. I’ve taught professionals training full-time, adults returning after years away, and those discovering dance for the first time. My priority is to meet you where you are and guide you forward with encouragement, discipline, and creativity.

I believe dance is not only a skill, but a way of connecting with ourselves and others — physically, emotionally, and artistically. Whether you’re dancing to improve your fitness, pursue performance goals, or simply to reconnect with your body, you’re welcome in my class.
