With a special love of classical ballet, Alena is passionate about dance as a channel for meaningful and powerful expression.
With much gratitude for every opportunity and for every audience member I've reached.

Alena began her dance education in classical ballet in the Vaganova method, in Toronto, under the direction of Victoria Mironova and Elena Dmitrieva at Victoria International Ballet Academy.
She went on to coach privately with local pedagogues of the Russian school including Anna and Vladimir Karpov and Vadim and Chieko Dulepa.
At age 18, Alena moved to Perm', Russia to study at the Perm Choreographic State Choreographic College under pedagogue Svetlana Sidorova.
Next year, she followed up with an 8 month apprenticeship at the Kiev State Ballet School in Kiev, Ukraine, under Marina Dobriakova.
Finally, at age 20, Alena studied for one year at the Koltun Ballet Boston professional program training intensely under Alex Lapshin and Alexandra Koltun.

Alena's Wonderland is the place where the walls of the war with confidence are broken down. Where every action is powered by a message and a vision.
