HEY, I'M YANA

Mum of three, Owner and Director of The Base Performing Arts, and someone who has lived and breathed dance for more than 25 years.

In that time, I’ve seen the sparkle in a dancer’s eyes when they’re truly thriving… and I’ve also seen the quiet withdrawal that happens when they’re in an environment that isn’t right for them.

That’s why I created this guide — for parents who want more for their child than trophies or tricks. For the ones wondering: Does dance have to feel pressured, competitive, or transactional? Or could it be something deeper, something that builds confidence, artistry, and joy?

At The Base, we believe it can. Because dance isn’t just about finding a studio — it’s about giving your child a place to grow, belong, and love dancing for years to come.

Let’s dive in.
