El Dennis has been passionate about dance for almost her entire life, exploring a wide range of styles including ballet, jazz, JFH, African dance, and more. Her diverse training has shaped her into a versatile and dynamic dancer, constantly drawing on a rich array of techniques and influences in her teaching. She believes that dance is a universal language that connects people from all walks of life, and she brings this belief into every class she teaches.
Since moving to Canberra, El has created and established her own dance crew, Serendipity Dance Crew. The crew has performed at various events around Canberra and regularly shares their K-pop dance covers online. Through the crew, El fosters a sense of camaraderie and collaboration, inspiring creativity and dedication in each of her dancers.
El also spends time at the CDT, where she teaches CDTribe classes. She is deeply passionate about spending time in the studio with her students, building connections, and creating an environment where they feel supported in their journey. El thrives on helping her students not only develop their technical skills but also find confidence in themselves as dancers and individuals.
For El, dance is just as much about community as it is about movement. She is committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive space for people of all backgrounds to explore movement, express themselves, and develop new skills. She believes that dance can be a powerful tool for personal growth, and she’s dedicated to creating an environment where students can embrace their uniqueness, face challenges, and celebrate their progress. Seeing her students grow, both technically and emotionally, is the most rewarding part of her role as a teacher.
