Guest Teaching And Workshops
Guest Teaching Availability
With more than 25 years of teaching experience and a background as a professional ballet dancer, I offer guest teaching that is structured, precise and responsive to each setting. My work is grounded in classical technique, functional anatomy and psychological understanding, holistic without being vague.
Each engagement is tailored. I work with those who are present in the studio, recognising that each group of dancers is unique, with different bodies, challenges and objectives. This individual responsiveness sits within my own developed approach of Holistic Ballet, which provides clear structure, consistency and technical integrity.
Offers range from single classes to half-day intensives, multi-day workshops and ongoing coaching.
Dance Companies
Focus • Classical technique maintenance and refinement • Injury conscious training and longevity • Efficient warm up and preparation for rehearsal and performance • Performance confidence and focus
Approach My classes respect the demands of company life. Exercises are structured to be time efficient, technically precise and physically intelligent. I prioritise joint preparation, clean alignment and musical clarity without unnecessary embellishment. Where appropriate, I integrate tools from my therapeutic background to support focus, confidence and nervous system regulation.
What I offer • Company class • Technique or conditioning focused sessions • Short residencies • Individual coaching • Performance preparation support
Pre-Professional Ballet Students
Focus • Strong technical foundations • Safe progression of turnout, pointe work and placement • Body awareness and self correction • Psychological resilience in training environments
Approach I specialise in demystifying ballet technique. Students are guided to understand what they are doing, why they are doing it and how to practise safely. I place particular emphasis on hip preparation, alignment and progressive load. My background as a therapist supports students dealing with pressure, comparison and fear of judgement.
What I offer • Technique classes • Pointe preparation and pointe work • Conditioning and anatomy informed sessions • Audition and performance mindset coaching • Workshops combining physical and mental skills
Adult Dancers
Focus • Accessible classical ballet without dilution • Injury prevention and confidence building • Clear explanations and achievable progress • Enjoyment grounded in understanding
Approach Adult dancers benefit from clarity, structure and respect for their bodies and life experience. My teaching maintains classical standards while adapting pacing and preparation. Psychological safety is central. Students are supported to feel competent, informed and confident rather than rushed or judged.
What I offer • Beginner to advanced ballet classes • Themed workshops • Technique refreshers • Conditioning for dancers • Confidence and performance support
Mental Wellbeing Support
Alongside my dance career, I work as a qualified hypnotherapist and Internal Family Systems practitioner. This allows me to support dancers not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. Sessions and workshops can include elements addressing performance anxiety, self-trust, focus and recovery from setbacks, always integrated appropriately within a dance context.
I work online or in person; short-term and multi-day formats can be discussed. If you are not familiar with my teaching, you can watch my tutorials on my YouTube channel.
