Denise Nerier

ADAPT Certified

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 continued her training with the Edge Studios Post-Graduate Program, and continues to train with the SHifT Dance. Her current performance experience includes shows for YYC Arts and Hermès.

Denise recently completed her Bachelor of Science at the University of Calgary. She is excited to dedicate more time to teaching and can’t wait to inspire young dancers in the studio.

Denise graduated from the Associated Dance Arts for Professional Teachers program in 2024.
