Michelle is a patient knowledgeable teacher. She started me with basic dancing steps to “Panda Bear - Doin' it Right .” The basic dance steps that Michelle taught me can be used for virtually all Rock/Disco/Techno music that you will encounter. The tempos might vary, but the steps remain the same. When I became more proficient Michelle taught me line dances such as the “Macarena” and the “Cha Cha Slide.”
When I attended the Wedding reception with the Dance minor, I was confident and comfortable on the Dance floor thanks to Michelle!
Highly Recommended.

I will cater to what each individual needs, working with dance material you already know teach you choreography to achieve the following:
-provide personalized feedback to help improve technical and artistic growth.
- give tools to improve and deepen your understanding of technique
- explain how to connect your expressiveness with your technique
My style is very supportive and direct. I believe that to improve as a dancer you need personal feedback and hard work. I am very passionate about sharing what I know to help other dancers reach their goals.
About Amanda
I have taught Master Classes and Intensive Workshops in the Paul Taylor style throughout the nation, as well as teaching Vaganova Ballet at the Joffrey Ballet School. I have taught in numerous public schools through teaching residencies with Rioult Dance Company and Education In Dance. I believe these experiences have taught me how to assess individuals quickly and provide clear feedback in a positive and supportive way.
My teaching style is energetic, and focused on the personal experience each dancer is having, while giving direct and clear feedback. My goal is to help students reach their art
Private lessons can be catered toward each individual. Either for an upcoming audition, feedback on solo or ensemble choreography, to help personalize technical corrections and to help push technique to a higher level, or for non dancers to help understand movement and feel comfortable in a beginning class.

About Sara P.

Dancing since the age of 3, I'd love to spark the passion of dance in anyone that's interested! With a Bachelors of Fine Arts with a concentration in Ballet Pedagogy (the art or science of teaching) this is what I've trained to do.
I specialize in Ballet, Modern and Jazz ages 5-18 beginner to advanced students. I focus on strong foundations in technique and musicality. I am also comfortable choreographing solo work for auditions.
About Sara
I started dancing at the age of 3. I am well versed in Ballet, Modern and Jazz. I attended Joffrey San Antonio (2004) and Paul Taylor New York (2010) intensives.
While in high school I taught Ballet, Jazz, Pre-Pointe and Pointe classes to dancers age 3-14.
In 2011 I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet Pedagogy (which is the art or science of teaching).
Since moving to NYC 5 years ago I have been focused on performing with such dance companies as Exit 12 Dance Company (2011-2012) and Community Dance Project (2013-2014). While not dancing with specific companies I have choreographed and danced in two music videos.
I can't express my love for teaching enough! To know that I could help spark the passion of dance in a young person is extremely inspiring.
Please inc
I would prefer to teach students with professional or aerobic goals. Social dancing is not one of my subjects.

I am a Juilliard-trained dancer and teacher based in Manhattan. I have performed on Broadway, at the Metropolitan Opera, and on tour all over the world for choreographers like Twyla Tharp, Benjamin Millipied, and Jessica Lang. I love teaching ballet, modern, creative movement, and conditioning. I am happy to coach audition material as well. I think all people should be able to experience the joy of movement, at any age or level of experience.
About Laura
I’m Laura. I’m a dancer and teacher in NYC. I graduated from Juilliard in 2006, and since then I’ve danced all over the world. I’ve been teaching for over a decade, and I love to help students find another level of facility in their dancing. I teach children through adults, and ballet and modern are my specialties.
My lessons are warm, guided by principles of functional anatomy, and emphasize musicality and sound technique. Depending on your goals, we can also work on flexibility and strength, artistic presence, and audition preparation.
I teach in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. I can come to you if you have a large space available, or I can help you find studio space where we can meet.
Looking forward to sharing the pleasure and expressiveness of dance with you!

Can You Really Learn Contemporary Dance Online?
Contemporary dance is the most expressive and subjective dance form, making it more accessible to outsiders and helpful as a supplement to other dance training. Contemporary choreography techniques help dancers harness the energy and emotion of their own bodies, resulting in a more fluid and organic form of movement that can appear effortless and completely improvised to the casual observer. You have a lot of options when it comes to learning, practicing, and performing modern dance. And with t … Read More
