Founder

Queeny Li

Based in Vancouver, Canada, Queeny is a pre-professional dancer and the founding force behind Dancers Guide by Dancers. Her ten-year journey in ballet, complemented by her work in contemporary dance, sparked a desire to create a space where young artists could find both resources and mentorship. For Queeny, dance is defined by the grace and emotional depth found in ballets like Giselle, qualities she aims to mirror in the supportive community she is building. She is committed to ensuring that every young dancer has a place to turn for guidance and inspiration.

Digital Outreach Assistant

Victoria Ni

Victoria is a ballet and contemporary dancer with 11 years of training, currently studying at Yan Ballet Academy in Singapore. As the Digital Outreach Assistant, she helps manage social media, reshares content, and supports online engagement. She enjoys connecting with the dance community and sharing helpful experiences and resources from her own training. While she loves performing, her favourite role remains the Esmeralda variation, the piece that first introduced her to solo performance.

Website Coordinator

Sophie Matthew

As a pre-professional student Sophie is fully immersed in the world of intense training. This experience fuels her work as the Web Manager for Dancers Guide by Dancers, where she builds and maintains a digital home for the global dance community. Sophie understands the unique journey of a young dancer and is passionate about providing a space where peers can support one another. Outside of her technical work, she finds constant inspiration in the music and artistry of her two favorite ballets, Coppélia and Giselle.

Dance content creator

Paige Hornbein

Based in Singapore, Paige is a prospective college dance team dancer and has been dancing for 12 years. As one of the dance content creators, Paige creates meaningful videos to educate others on the sport of dance, as well as teach others how to train themselves how to reach their full potential. Her favourite style to dance is jazz but feels most comfortable in lyrical because of her ballet background. Paige's goal is to make sure dancers are confident in themselves when competing or in training.
