About Me
Hi, I’m Anastasiia, the creator of MovesWithAna, a dance teacher, choreographer, and creative director based in New York City.
With over 14 years of dance experience and more than 8 years teaching, I’ve helped women from diverse backgrounds discover confidence, elegance, and power through movement. My dance journey began in Russia, where I trained intensively in contemporary, jazz-funk, hip-hop, house dance, and received foundational training in Vogue dance. I have competed successfully on national and international stages.

1st Place Contemporary Dance Solo at the Meteorite Dance Festival, earning a Grand Prize and an invitation to perform in Italy
Some of my key achievements include:
Former member of the BrickHouse NYC Hip-Hop XPro Crew
Grand Prize Winner in jazz-funk awarded by Mattio Tutzolino (Italy)
Multiple top-10 finishes with dance teams across styles such as jazz-funk, hip-hop, and house
This diverse competitive background, especially my deep focus on contemporary dance floor work and plasticity, shapes my unique style today. I blend professional technique with fluidity and emotional expression to create a powerful, feminine movement experience.
High heels dance, my true passion, has been transformative for me. It allows me to fully embrace my femininity, sensuality, and strength. Through high heels, I feel connected to my body and my power as a woman, and I love helping others unlock that same energy.
In addition to teaching, I work as a creative director, bringing dance and music video productions to life through movement and storytelling.
I moved to NYC to turn my passion into a mission: to build a supportive space where women can grow, express themselves, and celebrate their individuality through dance. My classes are more than just choreography, they’re about feeling, evolving, and owning your confidence with every move you make.
Whether you’re a beginner or experienced dancer, I’m here to guide, support, and celebrate your journey.

FAQ
It’s completely normal to feel a little nervous or unsure before trying something new, especially when stepping into heels for the first time. Many students start exactly where you are! Remember, you’re taking dance classes to learn how to dance, so you don’t need to know anything to get started. My classes are designed to be warm, welcoming, and supportive, so you can learn at your own pace without pressure.
The focus is on your progress, not perfection. You’ll be surrounded by others on the same journey, and I’m here to guide and encourage you throughout.
Once you take those first moves, you’ll start to feel stronger, more confident, and have fun moving your body in ways you never imagined.
Take a deep breath — your new dance adventure awaits!

Wear comfortable, stretchy, and form-fitting clothes: leggings, shorts, or a fitted top work great. Choose outfits that help you feel confident and let you move freely.
While it’s best to dance in professional high heels designed specifically for heels dance, like stilettos that offer the right support, balance, and flexibility—you can also start dancing in socks for the first few classes. This helps you get comfortable with the movements safely.
Knee pads are highly recommended for floor work to protect your knees and keep you comfortable. If you don’t have your own yet, I can provide some for you to use during class.

Filming is always optional, you are never required to participate if you don’t want to. The filming is done in a supportive, encouraging way, often with me and other students dancing alongside you.
