What would it be like to have training for your dancer according to the way they learn best? Let me tell you! Your dancer will reach their fullest potential even sooner than you can spell 'Sur le coup-de-pied!’
How does this happen? During the pandemic I was able to grow my relationships with my students online because of the situation the entire world was in; by getting to know them, I realized just how different they all truly retain information presented to them. When we came back to the studio I was able to find so many different ways to teach the same techniques in all of their learning styles, and through that, I saw exponential growth from every single one of my students! And let’s talk about their confidence! Skyrocketed!
I AM HERE TO SHOW THE DANCER THEIR TRUE POTENTIAL…ALL THAT IS NEEDED IS COMMITMENT.
WHAT WE OFFER
-
VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON PRIVATE LESSONS
Hannah’s goal for private lessons is to create a space for her students to feel heard and to teach them in a specific learning style that registers 100% with them. Let’s talk about how you want to grow as a dancer!
Private training offers a tailored experience for individuals looking to enhance their skills and confidence. These sessions take place in a one-on-one setting, allowing for personalized instruction that caters to the dancer's specific needs and goals.
The lesson will be designed based on the dancer's level, from beginners learning fundamental movements to advanced students refining their technique and expression.
Each lesson usually begins with a customized warm-up, followed by targeted exercises that improve strength, flexibility, and coordination. Hannah provides immediate feedback, ensuring that the dancer understands the mechanics of each movement and helps correct any incorrect habits or missteps.
Hannah may introduce choreography or combinations, allowing the dancer to apply what they’ve learned in a practical context. This method not only enhances technical ability but also fosters creativity and artistic expression.
Private lessons afford a comfortable space for dancers to ask questions and explore their style without the pressure of a group setting. Additionally, they often allow for more flexible scheduling, accommodating the busy lives of students. For many, this personalized approach gives them the confidence to perform and enjoy dance in a way that more traditional group classes might not provide.

Hannah guides students through specific exercises to refine their posture, balance, and coordination. Throughout the class, emphasis is placed on understanding proper technique, including footwork, body positioning, and the nuances of movement.
Students may work on various styles, such as ballet, contemporary, or jazz, allowing them to develop a versatile skill set. Progressions often include across-the-floor sequences and combinations that challenge both physical and mental agility.
