🌸 Easter Holiday 1:1 Dance Coaching 🌸

Over the Easter holidays I will be offering a limited number of 1:1 private coaching sessions for dancers who would like focused, personalised training. These sessions are a great opportunity to work in detail on the foundations that support strong, confident, and expressive dancers.

While sessions are classically focused, they are suitable for dancers from a range of backgrounds who want to strengthen their technique and performance quality.

Private coaching is particularly beneficial for:
• Dancers wishing to refine and strengthen their technique
• Students preparing for exams, auditions or performances
• Dancers working towards better placement, control and consistency
• Those looking to develop musicality, artistry and confidence

Sessions may focus on:
✨ Technical precision and alignment
✨ Strength, stability and flexibility
✨ Quality of movement and musicality
✨ Artistry and performance presence

Private lessons allow time for individual corrections and guidance, helping dancers to make meaningful progress that can be harder to achieve in a group class.

📌 Please ensure you have your teacher’s permission before booking.

📅 Available Easter Holiday Dates:
• 29th March
• 30th March
• 6th April
• 7th April

Spaces are limited. Please message to enquire or reserve a session. 🩰

I am incredibly proud to share that my student has been successful in auditioning for the Russian Masters Ballet Summer School in Russia 🇷🇺.
This achievement reflects years of hard work, personal sacrifice, and unwavering dedication from her, alongside the commitment and guidance of her teachers ( .jacques.ballet and myself ) and parents who have supported and challenged her throughout her training.
A truly well-deserved opportunity 🩰✨



On a personal note I’m incredibly proud of you Bella! This is a huge achievement and a very special opportunity! Just one more step towards your dreams 💕🩰
