Steps to Success

  1. Some things to consider: What are your short term and long-term goals? Where are you confident and not so confident in dance? What are you curious about right now? What are you overall expectations for private lessons with me? Clarifying and sharing input now, and along the way, ensure we are on the same page and you will be pleased with your investment.

  2. NEXT? After we touch base, I’ll send the link to my private booking calendar (payment is made through secure server). If you don’t see any that fits your schedule, share some times & I’ll see if I can make it work.

  3. Please read the the Reschedule/Cancel Policy to the right BEFORE you book!

Reschedule/Cancellation Policy

When you book a lesson, pre-payment is required since I'm reserving that time for you. I offer the following compromise on reschedules:

  • At least 48hrs ahead? Reschedule within 4-6 weeks

  • 24-48 hrs? A credit of 50% is applied to your reschedule

  • Less than 24hr or “no show”? NO credit unless true emergency.

  • Repeated reschedules/no shows? I reserve the right to decline private bookings.

*If I need to cancel OR there is inclement weather, we will reschedule a make-up date with full credit.

** Private lessons are NON-refundable and expire in 6 months.

Love Choreography? 

Here are some ideas:

Choreography Assistance: I can assist you with YOUR choreography creation during our private lesson slot. We will video your progress each time as a helpful tool. Timeline is totally dependent on your skill level, outside practice, and performance quality expectations.

Premiered Choreography: Choreography which has been taught to students in class/workshops. You will learn the material at our private lessons with a minimum of FOUR lessons required (package discount applicable after first series). Additional lessons may be necessary depending on your skill level, length of song, the complexity of choreography, and your outside practice. Video progress is provided at end of each lesson for practice in between lessons.

Custom Choreography: (VERY dependent on my schedules) A new choreo where I'll factor in your song/prop requests. A deposit is required - $30 per each minute of music (4 min song $120). Next, private lessons (@ 6 lessons + w/ no bulk discount). I retain rights to teach this choreography to other students in the future. Video progress at end of each lesson for at-home practice.

"Exclusive" choreography: (VERY dependent on my schedule) You choose song & it will not be taught to other students. $50 per min of music (upfront) PLUS cost of private lessons required for achieving performance-level readiness (@8 lessons). Video progress taken at end of each lesson.
​

IMPORTANT EXTRAS:

1) All practice video is for student ONLY. Video material is NOT to be shared with others. I generously share/allow video for you to practice with at home. Please do not abuse this gift by giving away my material to others.

2) Please ensure there is plenty of time to learn my choreography before taking it on stage. This is to ensure you are performance-ready as dancing is about more than just remembering movements in front of an audience. You want to share your best! Also, you are representing ME on the stage when using my material. I want you to succeed and make the best impression for both our sake's. Also, please remember to give me credit for my choreography/training in intros (if option) or social media.
