Andrea Polasek

Dance Instructor

Andrea has been dancing nearly her entire life – starting at the age of two and developing a deep love for the art form that has only grown over the years. Her training includes RAD ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, acro, and musical theatre, as well as vocal training and gymnastics foundations. With over 15 years of teaching experience, Andrea has guided dancers of all ages in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, musical theatre, acro, and creative movement.

What Andrea loves most about dance is the joy it brings – not only to her but also to the students she teaches. She believes in creating a positive and supportive environment where dancers can learn proper technique, gain confidence, and discover the same passion for dance that has been such a big part of her life. Besides dance she has enjoyed teaching piano, tennis, musical theatre, and sign language to students and their families.

She has a background full of unique experiences – including being a dedicated mom of 3 boys, performing in musicals and even cheering in the CFL! Her “boring superpower” is playing classical piano, but the truth is, Andrea’s real superpower lies in the dedication, creativity, and warmth she brings to every class. At Ark Dance Academy, she’s excited to continue inspiring dancers to grow, shine, and fall in love with dance.
