Elesia Ashkenazy is a dance coach for dancers and figure skaters. She resides in Portland, Oregon and is highly devoted to classical ballet and figure skating. 

The Skating Edge Ice Arena in Harbor City, California is where Elesia began skating lessons as a child. Passion for artistry and movement on ice led her to the study of classical ballet at a pre-professional level. 

Elesia treasures her work as a coach and is honored to pass on and share the extensive knowledge she has internalized throughout her skating and dance careers. She offers group and private lessons focused on artistry, alignment, musicality, flexibility, and presentation. Her unique approach toward ballet, dance, choreography, and fitness enhances the development of competitive figure skaters. 

Elesia has proven successful with a following of dedicated students. The joyful smiles she sees as they meet their goals has blessed her with deep gratitude and satisfaction. As the founder of Skaterina, she is committed to continued growth and stellar service within the Pacific Northwest.
