Miss Ainsley is currently in Grade 12 at Winston Knoll Collegiate and has been dancing since the age of three. From her very first class, she knew dance would be a huge part of my life — and it has been ever since. She has trained competitively for many years at studios including Applause Dance Academy, Martin School of Dance & Baton, and Dance Dimensions, developing my skills in a wide range of styles and gaining unforgettable performance experiences along the way.
Dance has taught her more than just technique — it’s taught her discipline, creativity, confidence, and the importance of community.
Ainsley- “It’s where I feel most myself, and it’s something I genuinely love sharing with others. This will be my third year teaching and assisting, and I’m incredibly excited to continue learning, growing, and inspiring young dancers at Shimmy Shuffle & Shake Dance Co. Being part of a dancer’s journey — whether it’s helping them master a new move or watching their confidence blossom — is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. I can’t wait to create an encouraging and energetic space where every student feels supported, seen, and excited to dance!”
