Private dance coaching
in Solihull.

Private coaching is the one thing on our timetable that has no timetable. Sessions are arranged directly between the family and the coach, which is the entire point — the dancers who need it are usually the ones whose week is already full.

It is not a replacement for class. It is what you add when a class alone cannot give one dancer the attention a specific goal requires.

Private coaching has no fixed weekly slot — sessions are arranged directly around the dancer's schedule and what they are working toward. Get in touch and we will match you with the right coach.

When one-to-one is the right call

Three situations account for most of it. A competition solo that needs building and then polishing to the frame — choreography, musicality, and the hundred small corrections that separate a placing from a win. An examination with a date on it, where a specific syllabus has to be secure rather than broadly familiar. Or a single technical wall: a turn that will not hold, a jump that lands wrong, a flexibility limit that group class does not have time to unpick.

The fourth, quieter reason is confidence. Some dancers do their best work without twenty people watching, and a term of private sessions is sometimes what gets them ready to be seen.

How sessions are arranged

There is no fixed slot to book into. You tell us what the dancer is working toward and roughly when they are free, and we match them with a coach whose specialism fits. Sessions can be weekly in the run-up to a competition or exam, or occasional when something specific needs fixing.

Because it is arranged individually, pricing is quoted rather than listed — it depends on session length, frequency and coach. Ask and we will give you a straight figure.

Who coaches it

The same coaches who teach our weekly classes and prepare our competition teams, several of whom have competed at championship level themselves. That matters more in a one-to-one than anywhere else: an hour alone with someone who has stood on that floor is worth considerably more than an hour of general supervision.

Questions

What parents usually ask.

  • How much does private dance coaching cost?
    It is quoted rather than listed, because it depends on session length, how often you want them and which coach fits the goal. Ask us and we will give you a straight figure.
  • Do you have to be a Star-Struck student already?
    No. Private coaching is arranged individually, so dancers training elsewhere can book it for a specific goal such as a competition solo or an exam.
  • When do private sessions run?
    There is no fixed slot. Sessions are arranged between the family and the coach, which is usually weekly in the run-up to a competition or exam and occasional the rest of the time.
  • Can private coaching replace weekly classes?
    We would not recommend it. Class is where dancers learn to work alongside other people, pick up choreography at speed and perform under eyes. Private coaching is what you add to that for a specific goal.
  • What do most people book it for?
    Competition solos, examination preparation, and single technical problems that a group class does not have time to unpick — a turn that will not hold, a jump landing badly, a flexibility limit.
