THE ARTIST

About Jonna

A versatile creative
with a lifetime
in movement.

Jonna Abrams in an editorial movement portrait

For Jonna Abrams, movement has been a language since the age of three, when she began classical training in ballet and jazz. That early foundation carried the Toronto native to New York City in her early teens, where she was accepted into the prestigious Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater training program. From there, her journey expanded across the globe through training, performance, and collaborations with world-renowned choreographers and artists.

A true chameleon, Jonna moves seamlessly through Heels, Dancehall, Jazz Funk, Hip Hop, Ballet, Jazz, and Cabaret, bringing soul, musicality, and unmistakable presence to every space. With more than 15 years in commercial dance and over a decade teaching and choreographing, she continues to shape movement with versatility, intention, and character.

Selected credits: Rihanna, Drake, Nelly Furtado, Sean Paul, Janelle Monáe, Estelle, Bambii, Rolling Loud, JUNO Awards, Billboard Canada, Nike, ASICS, and Canadian Music Week.

Before you book

Good to
know.

Where are private lessons held?

Private lessons are held at a Toronto studio selected according to availability. The exact studio and address are confirmed after booking.

What is the studio rental fee?

Studio rental is additional and typically ranges from $35–$55 per hour, depending on the location. The exact fee and payment instructions will be emailed once the studio is confirmed.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing that lets you move freely. For Wine N Grind or Twerk / Booty Technique, loose-fitting shorts or pants are recommended because tight clothing can restrict movement. If you are booking SOULIZM, bring heels you feel secure dancing in.
