Training dancers
with artistry,

Private coaching, pre-professional development and competition preparation led by internationally experienced principal dancer and educator Mi Deng.
ABOUT MI DENG
Classical foundation.
International perspective.
Mi Deng trained at Beijing Dance Academy, graduating with distinction, and began her professional career with the National Ballet of China. Her international career later included Tulsa Ballet and culminated as a principal dancer with Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo.
Her coaching combines technical clarity with musicality, individuality and stage presence — giving each dancer focused, personal attention rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
