Miss Desiré began her training at the age of 5 with Boyan School of Dance in Regina under the direction of Maria Blocha-Nychka. As a dancer she trained in Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Lyrical, Contemporary, Pointe, Hip Hop, Highland, and Ukrainian. Miss Desiré worked hard as a dancer listening to her dad’s famous words “work hard and be a leader” pushing herself to step out of her comfort zone and push beyond her limits. Through her younger dance years, she participated in RAD Ballet Exams, and  CDTA Tap & Jazz exams as well as attending various conventions, workshops, and competitions throughout Canada and the USA receiving numerous awards for her solos, duos, and groups.

In 1991 Miss Desiré’s love for dance and a desire to increase her knowledge and technique, began training with the ADAPT syllabus in Tap and Jazz at Dance Images by BJ under the direction of Barb Jackman. In under 4 years she had completed her Intermediate 1, 2, and 3 ADAPT tap and jazz exams and began studying for her ADAPT Teachers Training Certification in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Her hard work and dedication paid off and in 2005 she graduated and became an ADAPT Certified Professional Dance Teacher in Tap and Jazz. In 2018-2019 Miss Desiré completed her Module One & Two Certifications in Alixa Flexibility and also completed her Module One in Acrobatic Arts. In 2020 Miss Desiré completed her certification in Progressive Ballet Techniqule (BPT). In 2021 Miss Desiré was certifed in The Muvmethod Stretch Solution Level One.

In 1993 Dance Sensations By Desiré was established starting out with only 19 students running out of the community center and school! In 1996 the studio had grown to over 90 students so Miss Desiré took the plunge and built a beautiful 1100 square foot studio. In 2012 the studio hit another exciting milestone adding on an additional 1700 square foot studio and increasing their total footage by 2300 square feet. 

As the studio has grown Miss Desiré has been honored to work with amazing talent sharing in the joy of winning numerous specialty and choreography awards. For those new to the studio and Miss Desiré, we have always been know for our unique, creative, and entertaining choreography. In 2016 Miss Desiré was thrilled to receive the Most Outstanding Choreography Award at Dance Canada in Winnipeg, Manitoba for “Freaks”.  Judges were quoted as saying “absolutely captivating”, “marvelous & mysterious” and “absolutely brilliant”.  As exciting as it is to win these awards, Miss Desiré feels incredibly blessed to be able to work with so many children throughout her career.  It is the most rewarding feeling hearing back from former students and parents and hearing how dance and the studio played such an important role in who they are today.

 As the studio continues to grow and the standard of dance is continues to grow, Miss Desiré makes it her mission to continue her education by attending various workshops, conventions, encouraging her students to participate in ADAPT exams and bringing in talented and professional guest instructors into the studio.

Miss Desiré welcomes all new and returning students and looks forward to an exciting and rewarding year of dance!
