Basics Brush Up
This lesson is designed to catch new students up when they join class mid-session, or for students who have some prior experience and would like to place out to a higher level class. Also look for our Crash Course Workshops, scheduled regularly to jump start into course material.

Skill Target
A common need for private lessons is to target work on a particular subject such as playing zills or help with difficult steps such as belly rolls or back bends. Contact us with information on what you need to focus on.

Coaching

Catch Up on Choreography
Schedule time to work privately on class or troupe choreography

Solo Coaching
One of our teachers will work with you to put all the finishing touches on your solo. Guidance on staging, articulation, expression, technique, musicality and more. (Your own choreography or choreography you have license to perform)

Choreography, instruction and coaching
Comission an original work just for you. A solo will be tailored to your skill level, working closely with your individual taste and vision. You will receive a full set of written notes and then work one on one to learn and perfect the choreography. You will be given a lifetime license to use the choreography whenever you wish. This service is priced according to two rates:
