Lain Avery Dance Coach&Choreographer

A new student would be introduced via a private lesson so parents and dancer and myself may get better aquainted and to see a good class level placement. 

I have a bachelors degree in psychology and have been teaching dance for ten years. I am currently a established competitive coach and gaining my certification in progressing ballet technique. In addition, I have established a pre professional competitive team of dancers who attend regional and national competitions as well as conventions to meet current industry professionals from all over the country. Dance company members have the opportunity to be part of a strong team performing in groups, solos, and duo/trios all over the state and country. 

I have been dancing for over 20 years and danced professionally with Joffery ballet before an injury ended my professional dancing early, but I now strive to bring that experience to the next generation of dancers. I have trained with Faubourg ballet, Joffery's pre professional program, and competed reginally and nationally in Illinois, Wisconsin, and New York. 

My dancers are reginal and national title champions competiting in groups, duo/trios, and solos in ballet, pointe, jazz, lyrical,contemporarry, and tap numbers. 

My hourly rate is $40, but for dancers interested in joining my competition team and have a talent manager I charge a semester rate.

Competition fees range based on the competition we are attending. 

I started teaching my starting private lessons with a child wanting to learn how to compete as a soloist and needed extra time and help trying to learn with her dyslexia. Since then I fell in love with teaching and moved on to teach classes for multiple studios and start training dancers to compete, which has lead me to start developing my own competitive team. 

I have worked with students aged 2-18 as well as adult students. I also teach classes for dancers with special needs both learning and physical. 

I teach dancers beginning to advanced who dance recreationally up to preprofessionally.

Rencently I took a group of dancers to a national competition where we won the most entertaining number award. I enjoyed this event because it was a three day event filled with dance and people who all share the same passion.  

Take your time and really be sure you know what you are after in dance and always follow what your passionate about. 

What times and days your coach is available to make sure your schedules match. 

What styles your coach has mastered to make sure you are getting the training your after.
