School Founder & Dance Teacher
Veronika's journey in the world of dance commenced at the tender age of four and has been an awe-inspiring odyssey ever since. Her early dance years were marked by her involvement in contemporary dance groups, 'Paradise' and 'Visage,' before venturing into the realm of classical dance at the esteemed ballet studio of the Daugavpils Theatre in Latvia. During this period, she made waves by not only gracing the stages of the Latvian and European championships but consistently clinching the topmost accolades.
In 2007, Veronika embarked on a brief but transformative classical ballet sojourn at the Limerick Dance Academy from 2007 to 2008, where her dedication and artistry continued to flourish.
The pinnacle of her dance education took place from 2008 to 2012 at the prestigious Music Academy of Latvia, culminating in the attainment of a Bachelor's degree and a professional certification as a choreographer. Her rigorous curriculum encompassed the comprehensive pedagogy of classical and modern dance, further enriched by her mastery of diverse dance genres including hip hop, step, ball dance, and character dance. Veronika had the privilege of learning under the tutelage of eminent instructors, such as Zita Errs, a world-renowned former prima ballerina, and Regina Kaupuzha, the esteemed coach of the Latvian National Opera ballet troupe.
Before fulfilling her dream of establishing her own dance school, Veronika made invaluable contributions to the world of dance. She nurtured the talents of young figure skaters at the Daugavpils Sport Club in classical dance, imparting her knowledge and passion to the next generation. Additionally, her influence extended to contemporary dance, where she guided and inspired young artists at the studios Etude and HipHop in Riga, Latvia.
Veronika's life has been a celebration of dance, marked by an unwavering commitment to her craft, a thirst for knowledge, and a profound dedication to nurturing the talents of tomorrow's dancers.

I'm Samantha Goulart, originally from Brazil, and I've called Ireland home for the past 8 years. I proudly identify as a ballerina and a ballet fitness master trainer.
Being an active person has always been my mantra, promoting a healthy lifestyle through sports and exercise since a young age. While I've cherished physical activity, traditional gym routines and heavy weightlifting were not my preference. I sought a way to achieve a strong, lean, and sculpted physique that suited my personal style.
My encounter with ballet at the age of 25 was transformative. Despite opinions that it might be too late to embrace the ballet technique, I am living proof that it's never too late, especially when fueled by passion and dedication.
My goal was never just about doing ballet; it was about cultivating that graceful ballerina body, developing strong muscles, and achieving a flawless physique. Ballet classes became my sanctuary—a place to clear my mind, express creativity, dance, and experience freedom.
Upon moving to Ireland, sustaining my ballet routine posed challenges, but I persisted, sparing time to attend classes and pursue my goals. In 2017, during a return to Brazil, I discovered the Official Ballet Fitness Method through Betina Dantas. This presented an opportunity to integrate my passions—ballet, fitness, a healthy lifestyle—and embark on my entrepreneurial journey by teaching this remarkable technique.
Upon returning to Ireland in 2018, I initiated my Ballet Fitness teaching venture. Drawing on years of ballet classes in Brazil and several training courses at the Royal London Ballet School, I also completed numerous ballet fitness courses to attain master trainer status. Continually updating my skills, I participate in yearly courses to stay abreast of the latest exercises and knowledge, ensuring my classes are enriched with the best practices.
Every class and training session has contributed to shaping the professional I am today, and I'm excited to share my passion and expertise with you. Let's dance and build a stronger, healthier, and more graceful version of ourselves together!
