Denise Nerier

Denise was a very shy little kid until she was enrolled in dance at 3 years old. She has trained in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical, and Tap. Her favourite style has to be Jazz, but she has a soft spot for Lyrical.

Growing up in Calgary, she was a competitive dancer for eight years and fell in love with being on stage. Her love for teaching kids began as a student apprentice at her old studio. Denise is currently part of the Crossroads Dance Productions roaster and has performed in shows with YYC Arts. She is continuing her training as a dancer in the Edge Studios Post-Graduate Program.

Denise is also a full-time student currently in her second year at the University of Calgary for Biological Sciences. She is so excited to be a Soul Sister and a teacher this year. She couldn't be happier to be back in the studio and share her love for dance.
