Yes! If you buy an assessment pack or 4-class pack, I’m happy to prorate the cost of a larger class pack within 30 days of your first class. For example, when switching from an assessment pack, you’d pay $330 for an 8-class pack, and have 6 hours remaining.

Most likely, yes! You should talk with your dance physio or other healthcare provider to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. From there, I can create a modified class within the parameters they set, which might include floor barre, seated work, or adaptations to traditional ballet exercises.

Returning to full class is a gradual process that needs to be guided by your health professional. We can use modified exercises to offload your injury while it heals, and improve your technique to smooth the transition, reduce your risk of future injury, and make big improvements in your dancing along the way!

I don’t have the “spoons” to teach ballet from scratch one person at a time, and I don’t think private lessons are the best way for beginners to get started. My focus in private lessons is to help dancers understand and adapt movement for their own needs so they can refine their technique, move past injuries, and amplify their expression once they’re already familiar with the basic ballet steps.

As a rule of thumb, you should have at least six months’ experience in a ballet class with a qualified teacher (online or in-person) or be currently enrolled in group classes with me in order to book private lessons.

I’m happy to take on students who aren’t currently accessing class elsewhere! I don’t teach the basic ballet steps from scratch in private ballet lessons, but if you’re familiar with the movements found in a typical ballet class and have a goal in mind, private lessons may be a great option for you.

Book a free call to chat about your ballet goals and scheduling availability. I’ll answer any questions you have about private lessons and my style of teaching, and if we decide we’re a good fit, I’ll send along the scheduling link and payment details.

Payment is by Interac e-transfer, and is due upon booking your single session or class pack. If you decide to book lessons, I’ll send you the e-transfer and scheduling details after our “Meet & Greet” call.

Try your first two classes — if you decide we’re not a good fit, I’ll refund the remainder of your class pack.

In extenuating circumstances, a class pack in progress can be put on hold for up to six months.

For class packs, the time slot you select is reserved for you until your pack expires. If your lesson is booked for Thursday at 9:30, you can bump it forward to any Thursday at 9:30 within the expiration window, or switch to any available “overflow” spot. Your booking-in email will have a link to make scheduling changes.

If you need to reschedule a pointe or injury assessment, please email to let me know as soon as possible, and we’ll find a new time that works.

I’m usually very consistent, but if I need to cancel for any reason, I’ll extend the expiration date on your class pack to make sure you don’t miss out.
