“I have been working with Donna for over 5 years now and even through the pandemic and my relocating away from Toronto, Donna has really worked at maintaining the same level of teaching through online classes. I take both individual and group classes and it’s wonderful that I don’t have to worry about travel time. I have even done my classes with her from out of country! Donna’s teaching has been body changing for me – she has helped me in addressing so many of my issues/habits. Highly recommended!”

“Online private classes with Donna are always one of the bright spots in my week! I started taking group classes in person with Donna many years ago, and when everything transitioned online I was initially hesitant about how much I would be able to keep progressing and whether I would still be able to learn small pieces of choreography to music, which I greatly enjoy. I was so pleasantly surprised. Donna’s detailed, rigorous approach to teaching didn’t change at all in the transition to online classes, and with one-on-one attention, my progress has been even more noticeable than before. Nothing is lost in the online experience – Donna is able to make the same helpful corrections, we can still do all our exercises to music, she choreographs sequences that I can do in my space at home, and she often asks about the other sports I participate in and incorporates ballet exercises that will help my strength and balance in those activities. If anyone is unsure about online ballet classes I would highly recommend giving one with Donna a try!”

“I signed up for ballet-barre class because I wanted to work on my core and do something different…. this class has been challenging but incredibly effective! I’m seeing results! And it is all because of Donna! Donna is a teacher that truly cares about the progress of her students, … her corrections, adjustments and consistent attention is a demonstration of her commitment! It was wonderful to learn from her over the winter and I look forward to our spring classes.”

“With 10+ years of formal training I recently returned to dance after an extensive hiatus. I am so glad I did, because it has brought me immense joy. This, of course, has everything to do with Donna Greenberg. Her phenomenal teaching skills, passion for ballet, and personality always bring a smile to my face. Every lesson is a journey packed with nuggets of wisdom that have helped me both in dance and in life. Donna is also incredibly thoughtful and flexible when it comes to accommodating shifting schedules and requests for make-up classes. She’s committed to ensuring her students get the most out of her classes, regardless of level. I will be a student of ballet as long as she is a teacher. I am so happy to have found Ballet Espressivo and Donna. Highly recommended.”

“I am very glad I found this studio. Donna is such a great teacher. Her classes are very informative and high quality. I have been coming here for a year now and I leave every class learning valuable things about ballet and my body. My posture has improve tremendously. This is not a fitness class although you will be training, it is learning the art of ballet that will strength your body and brain.”

“Donna is an amazing teacher! I’ve tried several studios in Toronto and other places in Canada, she is by far the best teacher and I had the pleasure to learn from for 3 years. I truly recommend to start ballet with her, or to go to her studio and improve what you’ve learned. You will build a solid foundation, something I’ve noticed is missing for a lot of students I’ve danced with in other studios. She pays attention to every student (and knows your strengths and weaknesses), corrects you (you really need that to improve) and pushes you to your best!”
