About me

Hi, my name is Elvina Raharja and I am a dancer, director, and producer, originally from Indonesia. From a young age, I always have an innate drive to create art in many forms. But not until I moved to Vancouver in 2014 when I finally recognise my talents in the performing arts. Since then, I started my dance journey, training under many great teachers from all over the world. To name a few, Kill The Lights Co and Illustrative Society in Vancouver, Galen Hooks Method LA and Footnotes Academy in Toronto. I am passionate about learning different dance styles to help finding my voice as an artist. I have produced and directed my own dance projects, and had performed on numerous stages in Vancouver, BC and Jakarta, Indonesia. I always strive for authentic and strong storytelling in my movements, whether it is just a dance class or my own creation.
Additional skills:
native Indonesian speaker, directing, editing, project management, visual merchandising, sewing, embroidery, basketball, fashion styling, illustration, choreography, freestyle (contemporary and street dances)
