PRIVATE LESSONS
Offered to ages 15 and up
The benefits of participating in private lessons are endless. Having one-on-one time with a qualified dance instructor is very important. Unfortunately, many dance classes are overcrowded and under-staffed, which makes it impossible to get the precious personal instruction students need. Private instruction allows me to create lessons tailored to correcting errors and improving strengths.
Each session will begin with warm-up and end with a cool down and stretching. I will ensure that each student grasps not only the movement and technique, but the history of the dance genre as well. ​
