Information about Charlotte - Fulham instructor

Personal Description::

I am originally from Sydney, Australia where both my love of dance and teaching began. I trained at the Tanya Pearson Academy for 10 years dancing a soloist with the Sydney city ballet and venturing off to train with both the Royal Ballet School and the Houston Ballet Academy throughout those years. I then moved to London to train at the English National Ballet school where i achieved my diploma in dance studies and taught tiny tots and adult beginner ballet on the side. After graduating i continued on to achieve my Bachelor of Arts honours in professional practice in dance whilst teaching dance to all ages and freelance dancing professionally where possible.

Dance Instruction/Teaching Experience::

I have been teaching dance for 6 years on the side whilst training and dancing professionally. I have taught in nurseries, baby ballet classes and beginner adult all the way to pre professional/ vocational students preparing for company auditions.

Teaching Approach::

I have trained in RAD, Cecchetti and Vaganova so my teaching incorporates qualities from all styles or if specified by the student with focus on one technique. I have 6 years experience teaching ages from 2yo/ adult, Beginner- pre-professional. With my younger students i always incorporate music theory and story telling to keep engagement and usually keep my classes between 30-45 minutes. with beginner students i incorporate my years of dance based pilates and strength conditioning training to create a class focused around establishing strong secure foundations (postures, flexibility and strength) with classes between 30min-1 hour. With my advanced students i am happy to work through exercises, repertoire or choreography that has been previously learnt elsewhere or create class work that i to cater to the individual student and speak through technical corrections in immense detail usually requiring a session between 30 minutes and 1.5 hour depending on what we are hoping to achieve.
