The Creative Dance Studio

Another great teacher we are lucky to have this summer!!

Anna Brady is a dancer and choreographer just finishing her third year at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She is pursuing a BFA in dance with a minor in psychology. In her time at UIUC, she has had the privilege of performing in works by Jose Limon (The Winged, Joyce Theater, NYC)Anna Sapozhnikov, Banafsheh Amiri, and many other faculty members and students. She serves as a board member for the makesmewanna art organization and is passionate about sharing the joy of dance with her community. She is a recent recipient of the Willam B. McClellan for outstanding choreography and performance and also the Talented Dancer Award. This summer she will be performing in St. Louis with Space Station Dance Residency.

So excited to have Nadja to help teach classes this summer!!

Nadja Kapetanovich is a rising sophomore nursing major at Saint Louis University, where she also takes vocal and dance clases. She has performed in many professional theater productions around the St. Louis area, including operettas, musicals, plays, and ballets. This summer, she will be joining the cast of The Little Mermaid (Christ Memorial Productions), and will be playing Lizzie Borden in Lizzie (Stray Dog Theatre) in the fall. She credits her excellent training at The Creative Dance Studio with giving her a solid foundation and can’t wait to join as a guest instructor!

Then, we will spit them out, with no preconceived desires for them, through an informal sharing of our findings.
