KIM GRECO

Dance Educator - Adjudicator - Choreographer

 

Kim Greco’s passion for dance began at an early age and led her to the prestigious Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal satellite school in Toronto, Ontario. Her exceptional talent earned her a full scholarship to the professional training program, an experience that established the strong technical foundation and disciplined approach to dance that continue to influence her teaching philosophy today.

​

Her pursuit of excellence in the performing arts led Kim to further her studies in dance, vocal and acting, with training experiences in both New York and Los Angeles. These experiences broadened her understanding of performance and helped shape her versatility as an educator, choreographer and mentor.

​

For more than three decades, Kim has dedicated herself to educating dancers and developing the next generation of performers. Alongside her own professional studies, she established and successfully operated her own dance school for 19 years, working with dancers of all ages and levels. Throughout her teaching career, she has had the privilege of mentoring dancers who have gone on to pursue professional careers and further training in the dance industry.

Kim is recognized for her expertise in dance pedagogy and her ability to develop dancers from the ground up. Her teaching philosophy combines strong technical training with an understanding of how dancers learn, allowing her to break down complex movements, identify areas for development and provide clear, purposeful corrections that dancers can apply immediately.

​

Her ballet classes are structured, energetic and interactive. Kim believes that a positive learning environment and high expectations go hand in hand. While her classes are designed to be engaging and enjoyable, she is intentional about maintaining a strong standard of discipline, musicality, alignment, placement, coordination and technical execution. Kim is particularly passionate about helping dancers understand the why behind their training. She encourages dancers to become active participants in their own development by understanding their bodies, recognizing their individual strengths and challenges, and learning to approach each exercise with purpose and intention.

​

As an educator, Kim believes that every dancer has a unique pathway to growth. Her goal is not simply to teach steps, but to build technically stronger, more confident and more self-aware dancers. She challenges students to work beyond what is comfortable while creating an environment where they feel supported, motivated and inspired to improve.  Kim continues to share her knowledge as a dance educator, adjudicator and choreographer, bringing her extensive experience, enthusiasm and genuine love of teaching into every classroom.  She is excited to bring her passion for ballet, education and dancer development to Dance Masters of Canada and to inspire the next generation of Canadian dancers.
