TEACHING | My path in ballet is presently focused full time on preparation for the stage, versus the classroom.
Being a late starter to Ballet, I have turned over every stone to gain a professional education of the field as a whole, and am undergoing in depth study of the respected methodologies of the Russian and Cuban schools.
​
I am available on a case-by-case basic for professional, stage minded individuals in foundational principles of classical technical and / or for classical coaching.

OFFERINGS
​​​​​​​​​​​​
PRIVATE FOUNDATIONAL BALLET INSTRUCTION
LEVELS PreBallet | Ballet Conditioning | Classical Ballet Levels 1 & 2
​​
My teaching focuses on concentrated, foundational training for professional children, teens & adults. I am available for private study and also can offer foundational workshops in a variety of educational settings.
​​​
In these classes I focus on the often overlooked foundational principles of turnout, aplomb, placement and foundational artistic concepts that are non-negotiable for professional advancement. These principles are found in the professional conservatory levels of Pre-Ballet (Conditioning & Alignment) and Classical Ballet Levels 1 and 2, which are often glossed over outside of closed-door conservatories.
​​​​
Targeted focus in these areas can be game changing, and can provide an excellent remedy for foundation-based challenges.
​​​​​
I create conditioning and preparatory programs based on the tested methodologies / syllabii of the Russian and Cuban schools, as well as the body of information I have procured through a lifetime in professional sports and dance practice. This work imparts crucial kinaesthetic awareness, alignment and strength for dancers of all levels.
​
Body conditioning & physical preparation are two of the most important factors affecting development in Classical Ballet. ​​​
