From 105.68 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.

Dear dancers, welcome!

Do you love dance and want to improve your technical and artistic skills? I am here to help you surpass yourself! ;) Professional dancer, choreographer and teacher, I am creative, empathic, dynamic, and versatile.

Holder of a Bachelor's degree in contemporary dance and creation of multidisciplinary performances from the Iceland University of the Arts, a Master 2 in Art Research & International Creation from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, I am an artist member of the International Dance Council at UNESCO.
Since 2020, I have been engaged in academic research on medical and spiritual dance whose practice is called Transcendental Dance (Transcendental Embodiment).

My professional experience extends internationally where I had the opportunity to work alongside various renowned companies and to organize internships in France, Iceland, Sweden, Mexico, Czech Republic, Spain, Turkey and Asia. Also, I had the opportunity to dance for haute couture houses during Fashion Week in Paris.

I teach contemporary dance, technical floorwork (floor work), contact dance and classical dance. My classes focus on mindfulness, musicality, harmonization of energy flows, improvisation, muscle strengthening and coaching in choreographic composition for competitions, exams, galas, and weddings.

I remain at your disposal for any information.
See you soon,
Tiffany

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

Contemporary and Ballet Dance tutoring. In-Person or via Zoom

My contemporary class will focus on improving your co-ordination and pick up speed, developing experimenting with movement qualities, as well as practicing your technique. My class will include elements of Cunningham, Graham, and Release techniques. During Ballet class, we will focus on your technique and musicality as well as your performance skills and intentions. This class will compliment your grade work.

If you want to improve your posture, flexibility and body strength while having fun, you are in the right place!
As an experienced personal trainer and dance teacher I can help you strengthen your body and improve your physical performance. By combining the principles of pilates, I can make your workout fun and effective.
Ballet is a great form of dance that improves posture,flexibility, coordination and overall body strength. Throughout the class, dancers are introduced to fundamental ballet steps and movements performed to classical music, in order to understand ballet technique and vocabulary. During the class, we learn exercises both at the barre and in the center, designed to develop balance, alignment, and control. Through training, participants learn to connect with their bodies, express theimselves and discover the elegance of ballet.
Contemporary (modern) dance is based on the principles of fluidity, gravity, and the natural use of breath . The participants have freedom to find their own movement identity, connect with their emotion while doing combinations travelling through the floor that develop their technique, strength and flexibility

As a certified Hatha & Vinyasa yoga teacher, trained by Mathieu and Maeva Boldron, I offer tailor-made private lessons adapted to your physical, emotional and energetic needs.

Also a Naturopath, my "Inside Out" approach places overall well-being at the heart of the practice. A former classical dancer and athlete, I infuse my classes with influences from Pilates, dance, and mobility, for a fluid, profound, and holistic experience.

I like to create targeted sessions around recurring issues in naturopathy:
• gut health / digestion
• hormonal balance
• adrenal support
• management of stress and chronic fatigue
In particular, I have supported students with endometriosis through a gentle and adapted approach.
