About BM Dance Collective
A nurturing, inspiring space where dancers grow in artistry, confidence and joy — guided by dedicated teachers who believe in every student who walks through our doors.
Berlinda Teixeira
My journey with ballet began at the age of four. From that very first plié, I found a love for the discipline, artistry and transformative power of dance. Growing up, I danced as part of the Johannesburg Youth Ballet, where I learned the importance of strong technique, dedication and the support of a positive community.
Today, with over 20 years of teaching experience, I feel incredibly privileged to guide dancers through their own paths. I believe ballet is best taught in an uplifting environment — one filled with warmth, encouragement and the freedom to grow at your own pace.
Whether it’s a tiny dancer taking their very first steps, or a senior student preparing for advanced work, my goal is always the same: create a space where confidence flourishes and students discover the joy of movement.
“From my first plié to teaching the next generation — ballet has always been the heartbeat of my life.”

Hi, I'm Megan — I teach senior ballet and contemporary at BM Dance Collective. I cherish creating a dance environment where students feel safe to express themselves and challenge their abilities. Dance is both discipline and freedom, and I love helping students find that balance.
I’m a strong believer in embracing discomfort, allowing yourself to be “bad” at something first, and trusting the process until it becomes natural and strong. Watching dancers unlock new abilities, overcome fears and grow in confidence is one of the greatest parts of teaching.
Whether in ballet or contemporary work, I aim to guide dancers toward technical excellence while helping them discover their artistic voice.
