Online Ballet Tuition

06/09/2026

The start of a new teaching year and I’m extremely proud to renew my Certificate as a Registered Teacher for the Royal Academy of Dance.

As registered teachers we have access to a wonderful range of carefully crafted, exciting syllabi, with logical progression that results in well-rounded dancers.

We have the benefit of a multitude of helpful resources at our fingertips, access to top-level training and professional development, and the support of a ready-made community of like-minded people.

This term I’m teaching a number of RAD syllabi in my online private ballet lessons (alongside ‘free’ classes), and I’m enjoying helping a wide range of dancers (children and adults) to achieve their goals:
Grade 1
Grade 3
Grade 4
Grade 5
Grade 7
Intermediate
Advanced 1

Wishing dancers and fellow RAD teachers a successful year ahead 🥂

Catching up with class snippets - as I’m out of action today, with the first bug of the new academic year…. 🫠

It’s been a busy summer! 😅

And I have loved meeting lots of new dancers, who are making time to revisit their childhood passions, try something new or just focus on themselves for a change.

Adult ballet in particular is BOOMING and online lessons to top up your practise are most definitely a viable option 🙌

Has the penny dropped? 💡

Thankyou to all my online dancers for joining me over the summer - I’m now enjoying a week off, before the new term starts!

As part of my required CPD as a Royal Academy of Dance Registered Teacher I have just completed an Open University OpenLearn course ‘Supporting Adult Learners’ Positive Mental Health’.

Very thought provoking and interesting - a time to reflect on my approach to working with adults, both in the studio and online.

‘This course supported demonstration of the following learning outcomes:

recognise barriers to learning which can occur as a result of adult learners’ poor mental health;

identify stigmatised behaviours and common misconceptions about adult learners’ mental health and develop skills which equip educators to reduce stigma in educational practice;

recognise the signs of adult learners’ poor mental health and apply appropriate methods to engage in discussions about their mental health, including signposting to relevant support;

encourage adult learners to use appropriate coping strategies which support positive wellbeing and mental health;

create self-care strategies and skills which support personal positive wellbeing.’ - source - OpenLearn
