Àpd 106.25 C$ /h

I am a dance instructor with experience teaching ballet, tap, jazz, Scottish Highland, and ballroom dance. I do my best to tailor each class to fit your individual needs. Everyone comes to dance classes with specific motivations, reasons, goals. If you will communicate those goals with me, I will do my best to help them come to fruition.

I have been dancing myself since I was five years old and am now in my 30s. I have had experience teaching group and private lessons for many years now. I am a certified ballroom instructor with Arthur Murray. And I was privileged to be able to teach some social dance courses at Brigham Young University while I was a student there earning my bachelor's.

I am currently living in London and attending Goldsmiths University with the goal of getting a master's in Dance Movement Psychotherapy. I look forward to meeting you and sharing my great passion for dancing with you.

Dance is a sensitive art, driven by discipline and physical work of the body. I am a professional dancer and I love to share my passion. My key points for my classes are: finding/challenging one's musicality, discovering a discipline in a gentle, sensitive and personalized way, using dance as an outlet (keeping fun and creativity in the effort).

I offer private and/or group lessons depending on demand.
I have a very good level of English (I speak fluently)
I am a freelance dancer so I can adapt to the class schedule!

Thank you for your interest,
Oceane

Also a Naturopath, my "Inside Out" approach places overall well-being at the heart of the practice. A former classical dancer and athlete, I infuse my classes with influences from Pilates, dance, and mobility, for a fluid, profound, and holistic experience.

I like to create targeted sessions around recurring issues in naturopathy:
• gut health / digestion
• hormonal balance
• adrenal support
• management of stress and chronic fatigue
In particular, I have supported students with endometriosis through a gentle and adapted approach.

Hi, I will teach you some ballet technique classes as a gentle yet technical method to work on body mobility and coordination so you can prepare your body to your dance class or your other physical activities.
Performed through conscious breathing at a gentle rhythm, your body will gain coordination, flexibility and a new ease of moving. It will feel strengthening and relaxing at the same time.
Classes may be delivered in English or French, or both, if you would like to take the opportunity to combine it with a language practice.
I look forward to your questions and doing PBT classes with you,

Stéphanie
