Private coaching
For the dancer who is ready to grow and develop their own style
You’ve gone to your local class
You’ve taken oh so many workshops
You’ve started to perform regularly
You feel like you’re close to the top of your game but just can’t reach it
But you feel stuck, overwhelmed with all the information and not seeing any change in your dance OR worse yet you still dance like everyone else around you.
How do you choose from all the options out there?
Hi, I’ve been there, frustrated, overwhelmed and plateaued and I’m here to help
That’s why I’m offering private coaching. I want to help you stop dancing like everyone else and find your own voice.
Imagine
Having a guide to help you create choreographies and hone your technique to suit you
Feeling appreciated for your unique ideas and supported in bringing them to life
Accountability and support from a teacher that has been there and developed her dance at an older age
Receiving detailed feedback and coaching sessions to support your growth in dance while maintaining and improving your body strength and posture

Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Michelle if you want to create something that brings forth the best of what you can do as an artist and allows that “best” to be fully accessible to, loved by, and happy-making for the audience. I recently achieved this by working with Michelle to create an act for the October 2023 show Circus Serpentine in Seattle. Over Zoom, Michelle herded my various wild and unwieldy ideas, referred me to a wonderful expert who could help with one element of the performance, and used her creativity and sense of what works for the audience, performer, and the art form to help me create something that I am deeply proud of. She even gave my act its perfect name: Stick Them With the Pointy End. You can enjoy the results of our collaboration here!
