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.

Reviews (4)

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.

Kseniya
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. You can study with me: Classical ballet Point work Ballet Repertoire Stretching Ballet gymnastics

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.

Dance & Therapy session | Transcendental Embodiment
Are you seeking for a creative and uplifting way to consciously reconnect with yourself ? Transcendental Embodiment is a dance practice that will guide you to embrace your emotions and help you to reach your true authentic self. Through meditative dances, guided imageries, and energy healing modalities. I am here to support and guide you in your process of discovering your inner power through: - chakras alignment, guided meditation, breathing exercises - self-expression & subjective experience through dance - expanding your heart space, emotional awareness, and healing in movement and dance - release of stress, judgment, and trapped emotions - grounding, self-care, resilience - and more... The sessions are tailored to the specific needs and capabilities of each individual. *Dance can be a practice of introspection, transformation, and transcendence of one’s subjective experiences into a worldwide journey. * As a professional dancer, teacher, and performance maker I am introspectively processing each working day in consciousness, listening to my upcoming emotions, triggers, or anxiety when it comes to be physically and mentally performative in a team, or as a freelance artist. Instead of suppressing these emotions and creating energetical and mental blockages (that can end up into somatic pains or burn-out): we should pay more attention to these inner warning messages and strengthen our emotional intelligence to be able to cope with the infinitesimal external stimulus and daily-stress of our very fast lives. It can be challenging to sense with clarity what is the origin of some feelings of frustration, unsatisfaction, discomfort, or grief, and it can be intimidating or discouraging to walk alone on that path. This class helps you to commit to your better-being, presence to oneself countering wellness procrastination. * What do you need to feel lighter, brighter, or happier in your everyday life? * * What is your self-achievement potentiality? * - For who? : For anyone who enjoys movement and dance, and desires a better connection and understanding with their moving bodies. / ​One-to-one or group sessions. - ​Where? : Online via SKYPE or at the student's location. Values: Integrity, Transparency, Respect, Cooperation * About TE : Transcendental Embodiment (TE) is the result of three years of research and development. Merging from a movement philosophy research entitled Behind & Beyond, to its phenomenological understanding. The metaphysical unity of the tangible and intangible bodies expounds on the undeniable relationships between those in the physical realm. The tangible body (the material vehicle), the intangibles bodies (psychological, emotional, energetical, and spiritual). As a dance healing practice, guiding the practitioner to conscious corporeality, and subjective emotional understanding, this methodology can also be a useful tool to improve artistry and technical skills on a deeper level, widening mindful creativity, awareness, empathy, and sensitivity. (TE) movement and dance methodology combines a meditative approach in stillness and through movement, awakening the mind, spreading the awareness into different body parts; putting a specific emphasis on improvisation skills, and musicality, following energy impulses and intuitive movement and increasing the flow of energy. Inviting the practitioners to practice resilience, non-self definition, non-judgment, self-care and self-love, integrity, and acceptance to overcome technical, physical, and mental limits holding the practitioner from his self-achievement potentiality. This approach builds itself crescendo on subjective movement reflexivity and introspective journey through the following process: ​ * The four steps: Being | Investigation | Exploration | Dedication Unconscious - Subconscious - Conscious - Transcendental Consciousness Feel free to contact me for any inquiries.

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.
