Failing at a skill can be frustrating. I enjoy helping dancers find the solution to the technique issue, retraining them, and seeing them find joy again in what they love most - dancing!

After just 6-8 hours of private lessons with me, my dancer's (and their parents) see a significant improvement in their technique.
