Classical Ballet — Technique, Artistry & Individual Approach

From 37 £ /h

As a John Cranko School graduate, I teach classical ballet through the Vaganova method, combining a strong technical foundation with an attentive and individual approach to each dancer.

My classes focus on building clean, powerful technique while developing body awareness, safe movement and a deeper understanding of how your body works. I pay close attention to alignment, muscle engagement, coordination and the details that can make your dancing feel stronger, freer and more effortless.

Beyond technique, in my classes you will be able to understand better what mindset helps you in dancing as well as your artistic side of dancing — musicality, expression, confidence, presence and the feeling behind each movement. I share practical tips, imagery and different mental approaches that can help when a step isn't working, a movement feels difficult, or you simply want to discover a new way of approaching it.

I believe that the most interesting dancers are the ones who develop their own qualities. Through individual corrections and guidance, I help you recognize what makes your movement special and learn how to use it with intention.

Come as you are, bring your goals and curiosity, and let's discover how much more your dancing can become.

Professional contemporary dancer and teacher in Pilates - Carpet from Stott School I give classes combining my practices and my pedagogy to give a time to yourself to listen to your body and better overcome its obstacles, its wounds and strengthen it! These sessions are for beginners who want to discover this practice as advanced to want to open to other approaches.
I adapt to the needs of the learner.

Structuring of the sessions:
* Following a body analysis, a specific body attention will be brought to each one with Pilates exercises of muscular and skeletal reinforcements, tissue tone, flexibility taking into account the natural position of his body and injuries if there are in a. Emphasis on deep breathing to accompany each exercise!

* Setting in motion by following lines of cardiovascular exercises, coordination, musicality. If there is interest on your part for this sequel and if the time of the session allows it. This allows an even more complete body work.

It is with all the necessary attention, my kindness and a good humor that I will be your guide!
Stop judging yourself, your body is your home and instead take care of yourself through movement and breathing because these are vital!

❓ FAQ
🎵 How do we choose a song for our first dance?
There are no rules! The most important thing is to choose a song you both love and that has a special meaning for your relationship. If you're unsure, I can also help you choose a song that works well with the choreography you have in mind.

💃 Which dance should we choose for our wedding dance?
Anything goes! You can choose a romantic and traditional style (waltz, slow dance, salsa...) or something more modern and energetic (Funk, Hip-Hop, Commercial...). You can also combine several styles to create a truly original choreography.

👟 Do we need dance shoes?
No, dance shoes are not necessary. I simply recommend wearing comfortable shoes. As the wedding approaches, we can of course practice in the shoes you will be wearing on the big day.

👗 What should we wear to the lessons?
Choose comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. Before the wedding, it can also be useful to practice in your wedding shoes or, if possible, in a similar outfit to what you will wear on the big day.

❓ Have any other questions?
Feel free to get in touch! I'd be delighted to hear about your wedding plans and discuss your project with you. 💍✨
