If you are a dancer who is eager to take ballet classes but have never felt confident to take a class as a beginner, online training is perfect for you. In the comfort of your own space you can learn at the pace you need in order to build an understanding of ballet technique, positions, terminology etc. COBA is a great option for adult dancers who are returning to ballet after a hiatus, and are looking for a ballet refresher course. Not only will you learn all about ballet, you will find that you have increased coordination, flexibility, stamina and overall physical well being.
COBA accommodates dancers of all abilities and your instructor will personally design ballet classes specific to each dancer’s individual needs. Virtual learning is great for those who feel more comfortable taking a class in a familiar space and need any additional time or modifications from the instructor to make it as enjoyable of an experience as possible. If you or a loved one are interested in ballet private lessons, please email with as much info about the dancer as possible so we can best create a class that’s right for you.
PBT (Progressing Ballet Technique) is a conditioning program specialized for the unique needs of dancers. Using tools such as resistance bands, exercise balls, and floor work to train the correct muscle memory that dancers will use in any genre of dance. PBT focuses on use of core, stability, alignment and overall injury prevention. This training method is not only designed for making strong dancers, but also to refine coordination and to give dancers the bodily awareness to learn and improve their dance technique in an accelerated rate.
Michaela began dancing at the age of 3, in San Diego, California. Her performance experience includes a number of roles in classical ballets such as The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Coppelia, Sleeping Beauty, Les Sylphides, Paquita, as well as extensive contemporary and modern training in Cunningham, Graham, Horton, Limon, and Counter Technique.
Michaela was fortunate to attend summer intensives at the Kirov Academy of Ballet in Washington, D.C., Ballet West, and Orlando Ballet. In 2016 she placed in the Top 12 at the YAGP semi-finals in Dallas, Texas and was offered admission to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts as a ballet major. After graduating in 2020 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, she began her Master of Fine Arts in Dance at Hollins University.
During her many years as a dancer, Michaela discovered her enthusiasm for dance education. She strives to create a dance community that is not only focused on product-based training, but using dance as a catalyst for empathy and evolution. Michaela is in constant awe of the strength, passion, and creativity that her students display, and hopes to foster and develop those attributes throughout their journeys with dance.

"My husband's job has us moving frequently, and the next location put us too far out for any chance for my daughter to continue her ballet training, she was devastated. Fortunately we found Coastal Online Ballet Academy right before our move. My daughters classes with Ms. Michaela have been of the highest quality leaving no doubt we made the right decision for my daughter and her ballet training. Sessions are utilized up to the last minute and if my daughter has any questions or concerns Ms. Michaela has always replied promptly, with the best advice and genuine care for my daughters training."
