A Canadian born in Vallejo, California, Makaila started her
professional dance training at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet
School at age 14 and attended Bolshoi Ballet summer
programs. She danced with the RWB Company as an
apprentice before moving to Stockholm, Sweden to join
the Royal Swedish Ballet. There she had the opportunity
to perform many lead roles (including Myrtha in Giselle,
staged and casted by Natalia Makarova). After three years,
she returned to Canada and joined Ballet BC. Dancing
nationally and internationally, her personal performance
highlights have included works by choreographers Johan
Inger, Crystal Pite, Aszure Barton, Serge Bennathan,
Jorma Elo, Jiri Kylian and Medhi Walerski, among others.
In 2009, she worked with Roberto Campanella and
Robert Glumbek (ProArte Danza) and also taught at the
Okanagan Summer Dance Intensive in Kelowna. Makaila
danced in the 2010 Opening Ceremony of the Winter
Olympics. In 2014 she completed her final season with
Ballet BC, where she danced for almost 11 years. She is
now an independent artist living in Vancouver.
FACILITIES
Dance Intensive is held at the world-renowned Royal

200-seat performance space as well as private dressing
rooms with lockers and showers. Students attending
Dance Intensive also have access to the RWB medical
support team as required, including physiotherapy.
ACTIVITIES
Dance intensive is about more than just dance – it’s
about learning, immersing yourself in Winnipeg culture
and having fun! Students are invited to participate in
supervised activities and field trips in their free time
throughout the program. In the past, activities have
included a beach day, a go-carting adventure at Thunder
Rapids and an evening of theatre at Rainbow Stage.
Students will be emailed an Activity Package detailing the
activities available and the costs involved upon receipt of
their application and payment. The Activity Form must
