Private Lessons:
Summer is a great time to get one on one attention. Why do private lessons this
summer?
1. Sometimes students may struggle with a step or skill but they refrain from asking for help in front of others during class. During a private lesson I can focus on your child the entire time without any distractions. By breaking each step down, slowly, I can ensure that your child understands every aspect of the movement and are executing the step in properly.
2. Private lessons also promote confidence and self esteem. When a student feels
comfortable with their technique they can focus more on the performance aspect of
dancing in class rather than stressing over the steps.
3. Lastly, a private lesson can also be a great way to push an advanced dancer to the next level. Some dancers may be held back in a class environment and are just waiting to shine. This is a great way for young dancers to learn at their own pace and not be restricted to the class’s pace. This is an opportunity for students to show the instructor what they have and shine!
4. A private lesson is on your time. You can book as many or as little lessons as you and your child want when you want.
5. Some students do not like a class environment, but love to dance. A private lesson is a great way to introduce new students to the studio and help them feel comfortable about dance and eventually fall in love with dance as much as all of Bridget’s Dance Studio students do.
Cost:
1/2 Hour Lesson - $25
1 Hour Lesson - $40
