Bio
Stephanie is a professional ballet dancer working with the Atlantic Ballet Atlantique Canada in Moncton since 2013. Originally from Montreal, where she received her dance training, Stephanie is also very passionate about teaching. She currently teaches ballet and dance classes at the School of the Atlantic ballet to groups ranging from toddler to adult levels. In 2017, Stephanie was the Francophone Dancer in Residence (February and December) at the North Carleton High School (ArtsSmarts Project), working with the Grade 9/10 French Immersion Students on dance projects. Most recently, Stephanie received her Adaptive Dance Teacher Training in Boston, with the goal to eventually be able to offer dance classes for individuals with special needs/disabilities in the Greater Moncton area.
Residency Project
I would love to create a dance with students that would give them a new and different voice and momentum to the desire to put an end to bullying.
READING AND WRITING: First, the students would do research to define what is bullying, they would study its consequences, what would be the actions taken to prevent it, what are the strategies to avoid it. They would define what would be a world without bullying and how it would change schools for the better.
VIEWING AND REPRESENTING: With the students, I would explore creative movement exercises that would open their mind, give them access to dance and they would learn how to build a choreography. They would use the documentation that they put together as a starting point to create a dance that represents their voice to put an end to bullying.
LISTENING AND ORAL EXPRESSION: At the end of the time spent working with the students, they would present in the context of a performance with an audience (other school students and teachers) their dance, followed by an oral presentation that would explain the creative steps they took, the why, and all the knowledge they had been learning about bullying and how they used it as a starting point to build up their final performance number.
Teaching Experience
On a regular basis, I teach ballet and dance classes to groups ranging from toddler to Adult levels. Also, I have been twice (February and December 2017) the Francophone Dancer in Residence at the North Carleton High School working with the Grade 9/10 French Immersion Students working on dance projects. Most recently, in August 2019, I received my Adaptive Dance Teacher Training Certification from the Boston Ballet in Boston, which focuses on providing high quality dance classes adapted to individuals with special needs/disabilities.
