About Me

Hello there! I'm Imogen, and I'm thrilled to share my love for dance with you. With over three decades of experience in the art of movement, I bring a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to every class.

🎓 Training and Expertise: Trained at The Bush Davies School of Ballet and Performing Arts and The Urdang Academy, my journey in dance has been a rich tapestry of classical ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, street, and musical theatre. I've dedicated my life to mastering these styles, and I'm excited to pass on my expertise to you.

🌟 Teaching Philosophy: My teaching philosophy is simple: dance is for everyone. Whether you're three or eighty-three, a beginner or a seasoned dancer, there's a place for you in my studio. I believe in nurturing each student's unique talents and fostering a supportive environment where creativity can flourish.

💃 Wide Range of Offerings: I offer a diverse range of classes tailored to your interests and skill level. Whether you're looking to perfect your technique, unleash your creativity, or simply have fun, there's something for everyone in my classes.

🏫 Teaching Experience: My teaching journey spans nursery schools, primary schools, secondary schools, FE colleges, adult education, and community settings. I've had the privilege of working with students of all ages and backgrounds, and I'm passionate about making dance accessible to all.

🌈 Inclusive Dance Advocacy: In addition to traditional dance styles, I'm deeply committed to inclusive dance. I believe that dance has the power to transcend barriers and bring people together, regardless of age, ability, or background. In my studio, everyone is welcome and celebrated for who they are.

🌟 Let's Dance Together!: Whether you're taking your first steps or looking to refine your technique, I'm here to support you on your dance journey. Let's move, groove, and make magic together!

Education

I started my dance training in a local dance school under Miss Christine Reynolds.
At age 16 I studied ballet and theatre dance at the Bush Davies School of Ballet & Performing Arts. I also attended The Urdang Academy

Experience / Qualifications

After completing my dance studies, I taught RAD syllabus ballet in a local dance school, and it was here that I gained my Royal Academy of Dance Teaching Certificate.
I also obtained my MA (Dist.) in Dance Technique Pedagogy.
Dance fitness offers a dynamic and enjoyable way to achieve health and wellness goals. Incorporating elements of dance into fitness routines not only improves cardiovascular health, endurance, and flexibility but also promotes weight management and muscle tone. Unlike traditional workouts, dance fitness engages participants with rhythmic movements and music, making exercise feel more like a joyful experience than a chore. Moreover, it enhances coordination, balance, and agility, benefiting overall physical function and reducing the risk of injury. Beyond its physical benefits, dance fitness boosts mood and mental well-being by releasing endorphins and reducing stress levels. It also fosters self-confidence and body positivity, as individuals embrace their bodies' capabilities and celebrate movement in a supportive environment. Dance Fitness offers a holistic approach to health that nourishes the body, mind, and spirit.
Classical ballet offers a myriad of benefits, both physical and mental. Its rigorous training builds strength, flexibility, and endurance, enhancing overall fitness levels. Moreover, ballet promotes graceful movement, posture, and alignment, improving body awareness and coordination. Beyond physical attributes, ballet fosters discipline, focus, and perseverance, instilling valuable life skills applicable beyond the studio. It cultivates creativity and self-expression, as dancers learn to convey emotions through movement. Overall, classical ballet enriches lives by nurturing holistic development, fostering artistic expression, and promoting a sense of community.

HATHA YOGA/ASHTANGA YOGA/YOGA NIDRA/Meditations. Improve your physical and mental health with the best coach in Ukraine!
Hey, I'm manager of yoga instructor Diana. She's from Ukraine, so I'll help with translations and communication. Hatha yoga - Yoga helps us to strengthen the body from the outside and inside. It helps us to improve our inner state and find balance. It is an opportunity to organize thoughts and focus on the here and now. In addition, yoga strengthens the body and improves mood. It has a positive effect on the flexibility and balance of our body. What are the benefits of this practice? First of all, it helps to strengthen the human body, build endurance and willpower. This yoga helps to relax and improves the ability to cope with stress. It has a positive effect on blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Due to the diversity of this practice, it improves muscle flexibility. Also, this practice fills the body with energy, boosts immunity and improves your posture. This practice is suitable for both women and men of all ages. The practice is a bit more complicated than hatha yoga, but it is also suitable for beginners. It is possible to move further in terms of complexity, using more dynamics and increasing the complexity of asanas. Further complication is focused on the use of asanas with deflections and inverted positions. Also, you can smoothly move into Ashtanga yoga or dynamic yoga. Diana has three years of experience teaching modern dance and yoga individually. She has more than 5 years of teaching experience in groups and dozens of satisfied students. Therefore, she will definitely provide everyone with an individual approach, find the right pace and the necessary asanas. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to text me <3 Let's change our lives today, not every Monday, right?)

Elena
Ballet class (Vaganova School), audition and contest preparation for intermediate and advanced students
In addition to ballet classes and stretching, I also provide audition preparation and competition training variations. My ballet class is typically divided into two parts: Barre and Center, which include adagio, pirouettes, and jumps. We can reserve time for pointe technique upon request as well. During classes, attention is given not only to the technical aspects of the combinations provided but also to their musicality and the logic of movements. Detailed analysis is also provided on which muscles should be engaged in each movement and what sensations the student should experience when executing the steps correctly. It would be great if you could share a video of your class or variation performance before our first class. This will allow me to assess your level and make our lesson as productive as possible. My schedule is flexible, so the table below may not include all possible hours for our class. Write to me and indicate your preferences. I will answer you as soon as possible! Very soon you will see the summer offer. Believe me, it will be wonderful! Save my page or write me a short message - "Summer Ballet Classes". You will be the first to receive information and priority for booking summer classes.

Georgina
Science , Chemistry, Biology ,Public Health and Health Basics
Once upon a time, I found science, math and health courses a bit tricky, just like you might. But guess what? I didn't let that stop me. Instead, I turned the tough parts into stepping stones for success. I figured out a way to understand science and math by breaking them into smaller, easier parts. It wasn't always easy, but I didn't give up. Those challenges became the basis for my journey to success. Now, imagine this: I'm not just a tutor; I'm someone who conquered the subjects that once seemed really hard. Science, math, and health-related courses became my friends in life, leading me to a place where I want to help you succeed. I know what it's like, and I know we can do this together. Let's make your learning journey a story of success

Gaurav
Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!
Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE

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.
