Miss Charlotte Aitkin ~ Welcome to KCDS Faculty!

Miss Charlotte was born and raised in Victoria and started her dance journey at 9 years old. Since that day, Charlotte has danced competitively around BC, has won many top overall and spirit awards, and had the opportunity to dance in movies filmed in the city. She has trained in a multitude of styles including tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, lyrical, modern, body rhythms, and musical theatre. Charlotte’s love for dance inspired her to pursue a dance teaching career, which has led her to receive a dance teacher training certificate through ADAPT (Associated Dance Arts for Professional Teachers). Charlotte strives to create a safe, fun, and motivating class for all of her students, and is excited to share her passion for dance with her students at Karen Clark Dance Studio, this season.

Miss Bri O'Neill ~ Welcome to KCDS Faculty!

"Dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual." — Isadora Duncan

A lifelong dance artist and educator, Brianne O’Neill (Miss Bri) believes dance is for every body. Trained at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and across North America under legends like Savion Glover and Arnold Spohr, she mastered jazz, tap, ballet, musical theatre, and modern dance—then dedicated her career to sharing that joy.

Performance & Choreography:
Danced with the RWB (First Steps, Ballet in the Park, Points of Surf), served as Dance Captain for the 1999 Pan Am Games, and choreographed for stages (Boogie Nights, Mezzo), parades (Manitoba Hydro’s Santa Parade),  and TV.

Teaching Philosophy:
From teaching at 17 (RWB) to co-directing Sisler High School’s groundbreaking dance program, Brianne creates spaces where dancers of all levels thrive. She’s collaborated with many other artists such as RWB’s Jordan Morris and Brent Lott (Winnipeg Contemporary Dancers), trained competitive synchro swimmers, adjudicated competitions, and co-founded Prairie Sky Danceworks—a drop-in dance collective celebrating accessibility.

Brianne’s only goal is to help your dancer find their voice—with technique, heart, and a whole lot of fun!
