Private or Group Dance Lessons: Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Ballroom (American Rhythm & Smooth)

From 104.25 C$ /h

I am a dance instructor with experience teaching ballet, tap, jazz, Scottish Highland, and ballroom dance. I do my best to tailor each class to fit your individual needs. Everyone comes to dance classes with specific motivations, reasons, goals. If you will communicate those goals with me, I will do my best to help them come to fruition.

I have been dancing myself since I was five years old and am now in my 30s. I have had experience teaching group and private lessons for many years now. I am a certified ballroom instructor with Arthur Murray. And I was privileged to be able to teach some social dance courses at Brigham Young University while I was a student there earning my bachelor's.

I am currently living in London and attending Goldsmiths University with the goal of getting a master's in Dance Movement Psychotherapy. I look forward to meeting you and sharing my great passion for dancing with you.

In my ballet classes, we blend both classical and contemporary styles.

If you're just starting out, we’ll cover the basics and build up from there. We’ll talk about how understanding alignment and flow is key to ballet technique, and I’ll help you get comfortable with the basic ballet terms.

For more experienced dancers, we’ll meet you where you're at and work from there. We’ll focus on fine-tuning your technique and adding performance qualities to your practice.

In all my classes, I make sure we go at a pace that feels right for you, with the goal of helping you grow and enjoy dance for the long haul.

Classes, choreography and staging! in person or virtually

Are you going home and want to do something special? Let's do it together, whether it's a dance, a performance, or whatever you want—alone, with your partner, family, bridesmaids, or whoever you want. There are two options: I'll teach you how to dance the genre you're going to dance plus the choreography, or I'll just teach you the choreography. It's up to you.

The cost of creating choreographies depends on their duration (in addition to the cost of the class and/or rehearsal).

All ages and levels, don't wait any longer!

I am a professional performer with training in Chechetti as well as Imperial Ballet(ISTD). I have been teaching for over 10 years, with over 5 years of professional experience in Performing Arts Industry. Ballet can be used as a great tool to understand the basic elements of dance, while creating a strong foundation for all other styles of dance. As challenging as it may be on the body, ballet can one of the most rewarding art forms of dance.

I can offer Syllabus classes(Examinable), as well as open classes, with a more flexible structure. Classes are all on a private Lesson basis(one on one)

Looking forward to hearing from you.

The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes!
Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗
There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline.
Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁

My class is based on the famous Vaganova method. Therefore during our work we will focus on the correct technique of movement and its style, so you will learn not only how to do elements correctly but also will understand how to make your dance look beautiful and catching for audience.
Also I stand for a positive approach in the educational process, because I am deeply convinced that this kind of attitude is one of the main keys to improvement.
You can study with me:
Classical ballet
Point work
Ballet Repertoire
Stretching
Ballet gymnastics

In addition to ballet classes and stretching, I also provide audition preparation and competition training variations.
My ballet class is typically divided into two parts: Barre and Center, which include adagio, pirouettes, and jumps. We can reserve time for pointe technique upon request as well. During classes, attention is given not only to the technical aspects of the combinations provided but also to their musicality and the logic of movements. Detailed analysis is also provided on which muscles should be engaged in each movement and what sensations the student should experience when executing the steps correctly.
It would be great if you could share a video of your class or variation performance before our first class. This will allow me to assess your level and make our lesson as productive as possible.

My schedule is flexible, so the table below may not include all possible hours for our class. Write to me and indicate your preferences. I will answer you as soon as possible!

Very soon you will see the summer offer. Believe me, it will be wonderful!
Save my page or write me a short message - "Summer Ballet Classes". You will be the first to receive information and priority for booking summer classes.

I am a professional ballet dancer and teacher, currently active as a performer, which allows me to teach with up-to-date technique, discipline, and real-world experience. My specialty is ballet, where I work on posture, flexibility, strength, coordination, musicality, turns, jumps, and body control, adapting each class to the student's level and goals. I also teach Latin and Cuban rhythms, such as salsa, merengue, reggaeton, Zumba, Cuban conga, and Orisha dances, for those seeking a more dynamic, joyful, and energetic experience.
