know what you want." 

 

Founder and director of Centre Stage Dance Studio
since 1986. This year the studio enters its 33rd 
season, celebrating the enrichment and education
that Centre Stage has instilled in many aspiring young
dancers. Whether you are dancing for the pure fun of
it or training with a professional career in mind,
Centre Stage is the place to be and we are very proud
to be a part of your dance-training journey. The context 
of our program is dance, but the development is for life! 
Donna is a Full Stage Member of the Canadian Dance 
Teachers Association, an Advanced Member as well as 
an examiner for the Society of Russian Ballet, and a fully
certified Pilates Instructor in Matwork and Equipment, 
through the Physicalmind Institute. Since 2004, Donna has
completed her teacher certification with master teacher 
Paula Morgan, one of L.A.`s most sought after technical 
and foundational teachers. Presently the development of 
The Paula Morgan Technique is being implemented worldwide. 
This unique and exceptional training is brilliant and creates 
a dancer with a solid foundation, an artistic freedom and 
longevity of the body - the complete dancer.
Now more than ever, Donna is not only satisfied with 
training the dancer, but is focusing on creating an 
exquisite dancer, especially with the 2010 inception of 
Unlock Unleash Control - A Professional Development 
Program, offering three unique streams for any dancer 
of any calibre. 
Enjoy the journey - craft your edge!
