ALMITRA McMILLAN -OG
Acro Director
Instructor: Acro, Jazz, Hip Hop, Strength & Conditioning, Stretch, Ballet, Tap & more
Almitra McMillan, born and raised in Toronto began her journey in dance at eight years old when she joined a local dance studio. There she spent ten years training and competing, winning overall titles on a National and International level.
Through the years Almitra has achieved her BATD certificates in stage, acrobatics, ballet and modern, making her not only a fully qualified instructor as well as a versatile performer and choreographer. Upon graduating high school Almitra went west to London, Ontario to obtain her BA in Sociology and Criminology at the University of Western Ontario. While there, she taught at local dance studios where her choreography won numerous overall titles as well as earning personal accolades from the judges- earning her routines specialty awards in addition. Almitra has worked hard but also remains humble to the industry when given incredible opportunities such as choreographing for the World Hip Hop Championships in Los Angeles.
Always active with her instruction positions and education, Almitra still always found time to perform. Some of her credits include performances at The Molson Indy, Fashion Cares, Paramount Canada's Wonderland, the Toronto International Film Festival, MMVA’s pre-show party, the Chic-a-Boom Room’s “Age of Electronica”, “High Heels Revolution”, “Santa Baby” and “Wonderland”. Her film and television credits include Breakfast Television, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and the football series Play Makers to name a few.
Almitra is always growing as a dancer, instructor and choreographer, by continuing to train, research and stay up to date with the latest of curriculum, trends and music.
As an instructor/choreographer she has developed dancers from the ground up at Step who are now returning Fever Champions /22 & /23 under her care! She has earned Highest Mark of the Competition, Highest Mark Per Genre, Best Choreography, had Soloists sent to The Dance Awards and MORE! Almitra is a HUGE part of why Step with Style has earned Best dance Studio at competitions as well as within the industry/Region. <3
Almitra is a true OG of Step with Style. Joining us in our second season way back in 2007 she has been a HUGE part of our studios successes and assisted to make important decisions on programming, which in turn has made is stellar! Her thoughts and value for consistency reach far beyond a dance classroom. Students whom have graduated under her tutelage all rave about how many life lessons they learned from Miss Almitra and how she was the teacher that helped them learn how to be successful beyond the walls of the studio. She has seen the studio through the hard times and it’s no surprise she one of Amanda’s very best friends as they share so many of the same values, principals and expectations in life and dance.
She is the rock the students can lean on and offers consistency of always being there for them that models the team skills needed to be respected and loving member of not just a dance team but society as a whole. Amanda, Rene and our entire team feel absolutely blessed to have Miss Almitra be a part of our village helping to mold our kids to the best versions of themselves.
Miss Almitra is family.
