PRIVATE LESSONS
RAD BALLET EXAMINATIONS
These private lessons focus on the students personal difficulties that cannot be addressed in a class situation. The students then improve on their corrections in class. These Private lessons will give them more confidence and a better outcome at examination and concert time, if they maintain their focus and practice weekly.DVDs of the RAD exam work are available for sale at the studio.
Private lessons are very rewarding for Ballet, Jazz and Tap Students..The one on one coaching the students receive, helps them to have a better understanding of the technique for themselves . They then move forward quickly with a stronger understanding of their art form.
