Janelle Godard

Janelle started dancing at the age of 6, but music has moved her since she can remember.

She started her first dance class in ballet jazz and the following year she did competitive Hip Hop. It was difficult for her because she was very young and her dance partners where much older than she was. She grew very quickly in that environment.

At the age of 11, Janelle was chosen from a professional Hip Hop dancer to go to Paris, France to learn dance from famous choreographers and dancers. She learned enormously from them.

She was given the opportunity to be a teacher’s aide at this studio and when she turned 13, she became a Hip Hop teacher. Dancing is her passion, sharing what she learned is to her the most rewarding thing.

Néhémy Regine Bélabe

Since she was young, Nehemy has always been passionnate about dancing. However, it wasn't until she was 12-13 that she began taking dance classes at College Sainte-Anne in Lachine, Montreal in the after school program. She started with Jazz classes then went on to Classical Ballet. Back then her teachers & peers called her " Peter Pan" beacause of the height and extent of her jumps. In her last year of high school, Nehemy and her passionate classemates fought to introduce dance to the High School curiculum. After a successful negotiation with the school, the implemented dance program flourished into collaboration with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens.

In 2002, She singed up for Ballet classes at Le Foyer de la Dance, directed by Mrs Sonia Ortchanian who is the first renouned Armenian dancer. It didn't take long for her teacher to notice the potential of her newest dancer. After only six months, Nehemy was awared her first solo performance on point at the Ahuntsic Cartier-Ville Annual Spring frestivity Dance Show. She successfully perforemed her solo, duet and group dance; all very much praised by the audience. Throughout the years Nehemy performed mutiple dance shows. The public mostly appreciated her solo preformances, particularily her own interpretation of  All that Jazz from the popular Chicago piece and her lyrical routine Danse Mon Esmeralda from the musical The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. These two choreographies were extremely well received by audiences and made the object of many requests and standing ovations everytime she performed them. Besides being the only soloist at Le Foyer De La Dance, Nehemy also became a dance teacher after a two year trainning program with Mrs Ortchanian. She learned to share her passion with the younger dancers of the school. First, in 2005, she was the pre-Ballet teacher for the 4-5 year olds, then for the begginers ( 7 year olds) and so on until she taught the point begginers class (aged 12-15).

After moving to Ottawa for her teaching lisence, Nehemy signed up at the Double Creations dance studio in 2016-2017. She has now taken on a new style of dance as she fallows Melissa Leduc's contemporary dance class for adults. However, she hasn't forgotten her true passion and is happy to be the Ballet technic class teacher helping the dancers achieve their goals.
