  • Uniform and Dress Code

    For our Recreational Acro class, dancers are required to wear tight-fitting clothing that allows for ease of movement and full visibility of body lines to help with learning technique. Appropriate attire includes leotards, fitted tops, leggings, or jazz pants. Loose or baggy clothing is not permitted as it can hinder the instructor’s ability to provide proper feedback on technique.

    Hair should be neatly styled away from the face. While a bun is not mandatory, it is essential that hair is secured in a ponytail, braid, or any style that keeps it out of the face during class. This helps dancers focus and enhances their learning experience.

    Francisco Assis Dancer Ballet Contemporaneo Teatro San Martin Argentina

    I met Miguel in a competition in Brazil, where he was an international judge and taught classes. By the end of his master’s class, I wanted to be good just like him! Luckily, he offered me to work with him in Argentina in Ballet Centro del Conocimiento at the end of the competition! He also provided me with a full scholarship to train with him in his school, Posadas Ballet Studio, where I improved in several ways because I discovered his secrets and dedication. He is an excellent dancer and a better person. He made us work hard in his classes while still motivating us to be better; He is a great teacher, and he ingrained in our minds the discipline that dance needs to be a professional dancer, which is hard and healthy work.

    Soloist of the English National Ballet

    Working with Constanza was an absolute pleasure. She not only taught me contemporary dance techniques and choreographies but also showed me a new way to experience dance—through the heart. Constanza taught me that in both dance and life, you must be like a sponge, absorbing everything around you, because there is always something to learn. Her guidance helped me grow as both a dancer and an individual, and I am forever grateful for the lessons she shared.

    Soloist of Ballet Centro Del Conocimiento, Argentina

    My experience working with Miguel Nguyen and Constanza Aguirre Hayes, was exceptional. For four years, I received high-quality ballet training that prepared me to achieve my goals. Additionally, the contemporary classes taught by Constanza were equally enriching. Thanks to her guidance and dedication, I was able to gain admission to the Ballet del Centro del Conocimiento in Posadas, Misiones, Argentina. This achievement is a testament to the constant support I received through dedicated audition classes and rehearsals. I am deeply grateful for the influence Miguel and Constanza have had on my artistic and professional development.

    Principal Dancer Ballet Centro Del Conocimiento Argentina

    Working alongside Miguel as peers in Argentina, I learned not only about his culture but also how to navigate a dancer's career. More than a colleague, he became a mentor and friend, sharing invaluable lessons on professionalism, technique, and emotional expression in dance. His guidance helped refine my skills and elevate my career. Miguel's profound knowledge and ability to communicate complex ideas inspired and motivated me to continuously improve as a professional dancer, making him a pivotal figure in my development.

    Professional Dancer Ballet Centro del Conocimiento Director at Posadas Ballet Studio

    I began studying with Miguel Nguyen and Constanza Aguirre in July 2018, focusing on classical technique with Miguel and later joining Constanza’s contemporary classes. Both teachers were incredibly welcoming, dedicated, and genuinely cared for their students. Under their guidance, I improved my technique and gained valuable life skills like perseverance and dedication. Thanks to Miguel’s support, I successfully auditioned for Ballet Centro del Conocimiento in December 2018, where I still work. Constanza also helped me discover a passion for contemporary dance, shaping the dancer and person I am today.

    Probably two of the best dance teachers in British Columbia! My 12-year-old daughter was in their half-day program at Pro Arte in North Vancouver this past year for ballet modern and contemporary. Her improvement in technique and artistry is night and day. The students in their program are like a family supporting each other because that is the culture they promote, Constanza’s vocabulary for repertoire is first class and her modern and contemporary choreography is absolutely beautiful. Miguel‘s choreography For contemporary and lyrical tells beautiful stories that are very powerful on the stage. We feel so lucky to have found this magical team of dance instructors to help our budding ballerina pursue her dreams!

    Miguel and Constanza were Nina’s dance teachers. They are amazing teachers and Nina had advanced tremendously under their mentorship. I’m sad that we have lost them in GVA but a great opportunity for folks up North to get top-notch training!

    Principal Dancer at Teatro Colon, Buenos Aires, Argentina

    When we first danced together, I was young and inexperienced. Miguel was kind and patient with me. Since then, we have shared the stage and rehearsals many times, and I have always enjoyed his amazing energy and kindness. He is the kind of partner who wants you to be comfortable and work together to figure things out. I have many good memories of dancing with him, from Swan Lake to Les Sylphides and Walpurgis Night. It was an absolute pleasure!
