Dance Lessons Designed Around You
Fully personalised private lessons that combine technical rigour with creative expression — shaped entirely around your ability, ambitions, and pace.
Your Journey, Your Pace
There is something quietly transformative about learning to dance with a teacher whose full attention belongs to you. In a private lesson, every correction is yours, every exercise is calibrated to your body, and every moment of progress is noticed and built upon. It is the most efficient and rewarding way to develop as a dancer — whether you are taking your very first steps or refining technique you have practised for years.
A typical session begins with a structured warm-up to prepare the body safely, followed by focused technique work — barre exercises, floor work, or centre practice depending on your discipline. The final part of each lesson opens up space for creative exploration: improvisation, choreography, or repertoire that brings your technique to life. Our teachers are trained to read your body, adjust in real time, and meet you exactly where you are.
Private lessons at Contemporary Dance Method are for everyone. Adults discovering dance for the first time, children preparing for vocational school auditions, teenagers building confidence through movement, and experienced dancers looking to deepen their artistry. Whatever your starting point, we will design a programme that honours where you are and takes you where you want to go.

The Private Lesson Experience
“Sarah is an amazing teacher who has the ability to bring out the best in her students. I have progressed very quickly with Sarah as her lessons are tailored to my needs, and are of a very high standard. She goes above and beyond by sending me links to songs, workshops or recordings of us dancing so I can practise — she is more than a teacher! I strongly recommend her to everyone who loves dance or wants to explore it more deeply.”
