My name is Dana Kleiman, I am currently studying at Ryerson University in the Professional Communications BA program. I am a member of the school’s competitive dance team, Ryerson DancePak. My parents put me in dance when I was 2 years old because I was very energetic, and dance and I have been inseparable ever since. This has been my fourth year at Wonderland Dance Company, and I cannot get enough. I love the caring and fun environment of the studio and have found so many of my life long friends here.
My favorite style of dance is contemporary and I am very inspired by GAGA and modern dance. My favorite part of being a dance teacher is watching my students finally reach their goals. Whether their goal is finally getting flat in their splits or perfecting a move to a new level. My philosophy is that we all have room to grow, even in things we feel we have already mastered.

With 15 years of dance experience thus far in styles such as, Ballet, Modern, Contemporary, Jazz, Tap, and Hip Hop, she plans to further explore dance through performance and teaching.
Jessica’s love for dance has no boundaries. She wishes to continue to share her love for dance and inspire young dancers. Being a dance teacher has always been a dream of Jessica’s and she hopes to show young, aspiring dancers that dreams really do come true. If you can imagine it, you can achieve it!
