Ballet Teacher / Coach
Ballet Teacher / Coach
Movement is my way of understanding the world. As a dance artist and classical ballet graduate, my practice bridges performance and community education, using physical storytelling to connect both sides of the art form.
Based in Somerset, I have a passion for teaching classical ballet, alongside using dance in rural settings to foster well-being and ignite hope.
"Dance is the hidden language of the soul."
— Martha Graham
Private Ballet Coaching
Whether you're looking to refine your technique, build confidence, prepare for exams or auditions, or simply gain extra support alongside your regular training, private ballet coaching offers the opportunity to focus on your individual development in a supportive, encouraging environment.
Based in Taunton, Somerset, I offer one-to-one ballet coaching tailored to each dancer's goals, age, and experience. Every session is designed to strengthen technical foundations, improve strength, flexibility, coordination, and artistry, while reinforcing the principles of classical ballet.
My aim is to help every dancer reach their full potential by providing personalised guidance, constructive corrections, and targeted exercises that complement their existing training. Together, we'll work to develop strength, confidence and technique, but also a deeper understanding and appreciation of ballet.
I believe that progress comes from consistency, confidence, and enjoying the journey. My coaching provides a positive space where dancers can ask questions, overcome challenges, and celebrate their achievements, all while nurturing a lifelong love of dance.
Each session equips dancers with the knowledge and tools to continue improving beyond the studio. They'll leave with personalised exercises, corrections, and goals that can be applied in their regular classes and practised at home, allowing them to build confidence and continue progressing between lessons.
Please contact me with any questions or inquiries about private Ballet coaching.
