Karla Amalie Ovesen
Teacher's assistant
Ever since she was little, Karla had loved the theatre. After seeing everything from musicals to operas, it was ballet that truly stood out from the others.
Karla started ballet when she was 9 years old, doing very well in class and on stage. When she turned 12, she already began assisting ballet classes, helping to teach and organize children aged 3 to 10, where she showed a natural talent for guiding and supporting others.
For the last 4 years, Karla has permanently been learning ballet in Olga´s classes, where she proved herself not only as a strong hardworking graceful dancer, but also as a talent for teaching.
With exceptional organizational skills and a mature, responsible approach, she supports our classes with dedication and enthusiasm. She focuses on creating a positive learning environment, where she helps others to feel confident and encouraged.
Currently, Karla goes through the Teachers’ education under Olga´s guidance, continuing to grow her knowledge and skills.
Karla’s passion for ballet and her kind, reliable presence makes her an important part of the OlgaMirza.Ballet team. We are excited to see her growth as a ballet teacher!
