I am Alexandra Godiva, an Occupational Therapist, professional dancer/choreographer, wife and
proud mom of two. My journey with dance began as soon as I could walk, sparked by the joy it
brought to others. This passion has remained a central part of my life, guiding me in both
personal and professional endeavors.
I pursued a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy at Long Island University, fueled by a
desire to help others. Little did I know how well my two passions—OT and dance—would
complement each other. Now, every movement I teach is not only fun and engaging but also
scientifically designed to promote growth and learning.
At OT Dance Studio, our mission is to provide a unique blend of occupational therapy, dance,
and gymnastics programs that enhance physical health, social skills, and creative expression for
all ages. We utilize movement-based therapy to support sensory regulation, body awareness,
motor planning, coordination, strength, and more. Our commitment is to deliver the highest
quality care, helping individuals regain function, achieve independence, and reach their fullest
potential.
We are passionate about fostering self-assurance, teamwork, and personal growth in a safe and
supportive environment. Our studio is a space where community and culture are celebrated,
promoting health, wellness, and connection.
OT Dance Studio has two locations: one in Rego Park and another in Fresh Meadow, Queens.
In addition to leading OT Dance Studio, I offer private OT sessions for those in need of
dedicated, personalized care. My work goes beyond traditional therapy; I integrate my scientific
knowledge into dance, creating a powerful and enjoyable therapeutic experience. This approach
is particularly effective with children, as it helps them develop foundational skills in a fun and
engaging way.
Through dance, children enhance their neural connections, build confidence, and learn
perseverance, strength, and self-awareness. Whether performing solo or as part of a team, they
experience deep connections with their peers, forming lasting friendships and a strong sense of
community.
At OT Dance Studio, we choreograph each student’s journey toward becoming their best
selves—confident, creative, and connected. With every step we take together, we move closer to
a brighter future. I invite you to join us and experience the transformative power of dance and
therapy.
