Ballet Technique and Performance Class, Open to all ages and levels

My ballet classes offer both a classical and contemporary approach.

Depending on your experience or level, we can start with the basics and move upward from there. We will discuss how the understanding of alignment and movement flow are essential for ballet technique, and build upon your knowledge and application of the basic ballet terminology.

For more experienced ballet dancers, we can start from where you currently are and build from there. We will work on enhancing your technique, and applying performance qualities to your overall ballet practice.

For all my classes, I ensure that we move at the pace we feel is best suited for us and assure a longevity to your dance and movement growth.

About Me

From the United States to Europe, I have taught a range of students from all over. I have worked in formal classroom and studio set-ups along with community-led organisations and online private tutoring. I love being able to share my experience and practices with my students, and I love even more being able to have the opportunity to learn from my students.

I believe in the exchange of knowledge, which is exactly why I continue to teach and open conversations that are beyond the subject at hand.

Ann, was great! Very soft spoken, very knowledgeable, my daughter loved her ballet lesson with Ann. We will continue to have lessons with her. Due to COVID this is the best option for us and it seems to work.
Ann was amazing and great fun in teaching us a dance in the lead up to our wedding. We’re looking forward to more lessons and improving on the foundation we’ve built.
Friendly and knows what she is doing.
I liked a lot the course given by Ann, she is an amazing teacher and I liked so much working with her.
My contemporary classes offer movement-based practices that are driven by the uses of breath and imagination to explore the limits of curiosity and physicality. Depending on your experience or level, we will devise a movement practice reflective of how you want to improve and strengthen your dance foundation, flow and confidence. The idea of this class is to feel free within your movement identity and feel you have achieved a movement or workout goal for your day. For all my classes, I ensure that we move at the pace we feel is best suited for us and assure a longevity to your dance and movement growth.

A journey through the history and tradition of Egyptian Belly Dance, infused by the alluring world of dance art. Originally performed as a celebration of womanhood and fertility, this graceful dance has evolved over the centuries, becoming a powerful means of self-expression and empowerment. From intricate hand movements to mesmerizing hip shimmies, embrace the seductive and liberating nature of the dance. Belly dance is not just a physical art form – it's a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. As you move your body to the rhythmic beats of Middle Eastern music, you'll unlock a newfound sense of confidence, grace, and freedom. Our classes provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore the sensual, expressive nature of belly dance. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience, you'll find the space to let go, connect with your body.

Carla
Ballet. Classes. Improve your technique and movement mechanics. 🩰 Tips. Variations.
The classes are aimed at the assimilation of technical elements with a biomechanical approach, focusing on the development of appropriate mechanics based on muscle chains and joint release. Knowledge of the objectives of the class sequences with a methodology broken down into the steps, theoretical and practical, will allow a more conscious execution in the long term, preventing short-term injuries. The importance of identifying body strengths and weaknesses individually, to program an exercise plan and overcome technical challenges in the development of a ballet class. Coordination, agility, resistance, stability, flexibility and proprioception will be objectives within reach during classes! Commitment and dedication will be our allies 🤗 There is always time to start with your dreams and goals, whether you are just starting out, you have been training for a while and you want to give your work a twist to the codes of classical dance from a more organic perspective or dance has simply been part of your life and you like to be active based on the psycho-physical benefits of this discipline. Together we can share the process of training from a different consciousness, attending to the body as a whole.😁

Private and group ballet classes with the Vaganova graduate
My class is based on the famous Vaganova method. Therefore during our work we will focus on the correct technique of movement and its style, so you will learn not only how to do elements correctly but also will understand how to make your dance look beautiful and catching for audience. Also I stand for a positive approach in the educational process, because I am deeply convinced that this kind of attitude is one of the main keys to improvement.

Holly
Ballet Class with dancer from Matthew Bourne's company and Ballet DJKT Czech Republic, amongst others
I am passionate about working with students on developing both their artistry and technique. In this class students can enhance their existing training through personalised lessons, with a special focus on musicality, dynamics and performance in partnership with technique. I draw on my knowledge as a professional dancer to train dancers whether their goal is to work towards a career in the industry, or invest more in their passion for dance. Lessons take the form of a traditional ballet class, starting at the barre and moving to the centre (adapting to space), and include discussions to help dancers to refine their thought processes and approach. I am still a freelance performing dancer and therefore my availability is changeable.

Porcelain
Adaptive dance for disabled people, Classes, choreography support or act development
I am a professional dancer with a disability. When I became a mobility aid user I had to make alot of my own acts and training routines. Even when I got jobs with mainstream company's they didn't know how to adapt choreography to me and I would have to do this myself. I work with a lot of disabled people and I am very skilled in creating dance classes/ routines or a training regiment for the dancer then to practice on there own. I am trained in many different area of dance and work with Professionals/ aspring professionals, student dancers, hobbyists and those who are using dance to achieve a different goal. Examples of other goals include: weight loss, improving fitness, improving coordination, expressing themselves, improving confidence and others. If you are interested please let me know your goal, the style of dance you are working with/ wish to work with, your access requirements and previous experience.
