Technique private lessons are one-on-one sessions designed to help dancers improve their overall technical ability. During the lesson, the teacher will focus on the individual dancer's strengths and areas for development, working on skills such as turns, leaps, flexibility, strength, control, balance, musicality and performance quality. These lessons are tailored specifically to each dancer's goals and are suitable for all ages and levels.

Ballet private lessons are personalised one-on-one classes that focus on the dancer's RAD ballet syllabus. These lessons are ideal for students preparing for an upcoming RAD Examination or Class Award, allowing teachers to refine technique, improve confidence and provide individual corrections that aren't always possible in a group class. Lessons may also focus on strengthening ballet fundamentals and artistry.

FOR TROUPE STUDENTS ONLY

Solo private lessons involve working one-on-one with a choreographer to create and learn a solo routine for eisteddfods and competitions. Solos can be choreographed in a range of styles, including Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Tap or Ballet, depending on the dancer's strengths, goals and the teacher's recommendation.

To allow enough time for choreography, cleaning and polishing, we recommend booking either 4 x 1-hour lessons or 8 x 30-minute lessons. Once the routine has been learnt, additional coaching sessions can be booked throughout the year to continue refining the performance.

Before booking, please check with our office on teacher/style availability.

Private lessons provide dancers with the opportunity to receive personalised coaching that is completely tailored to their individual needs. With the teacher's full attention, dancers can progress at their own pace, receive detailed corrections and focus on the areas that will have the greatest impact on their development.

Benefits include:

• Faster technical improvement

• Individualised feedback and corrections

• Increased confidence

• Improved flexibility, strength and control

• Focus on personal goals

• Extra preparation for exams, performances and competitions

Private lessons are an excellent way to complement regular weekly classes and help dancers reach their full potential.

Competing with a solo is a wonderful opportunity for dancers to challenge themselves, grow as performers and develop valuable life skills. Performing alone on stage builds confidence, independence and resilience, while allowing dancers to showcase their unique personality and artistry.

Benefits of solo competitions include:

• Increased confidence and stage presence

• Individual performance experience

• Personalised choreography suited to the dancer's strengths

• Greater musicality and artistic expression

• Improved performance quality and technique

• Goal setting, self-discipline and perseverance

• Valuable feedback from adjudicators to support ongoing development

Solo work can be an incredibly rewarding experience and often accelerates a dancer's growth both technically and artistically. It is a fantastic complement to troupe and class training, while giving dancers the chance to shine as an individual performer.
