Aela was founded by actress and dancer, Michaela Perry, in 2024. Michaela trained from a young age in a Performance Academy and completed her exams in Musical Theatre, Dance and Acting. After taking time out to focus on actor training, when Michaela returned to the dance industry in her early twenties, she struggled to find her place in the dance world and found herself anxious to step back into a studio.

Michaela has since gone on to train all over the UK and in LA with the likes of dance icons Nicole Kirkland, Kiira Harper and Melissa Barlow. After finding her space again, she knew it was only right to share her love of dance with the world and pass on her knowledge.

Aela was created as a community for dancers, of all levels, to come and find their space in the dance world. Whether you’re a professional dancer, want to build your body confidence, take your first dance class EVER or just take up a new, fun hobby, come along and claim your space.
