MISS DISHY ACRO

Well, Hi there.
Let me introduce myself.
With over 30 years of experience as a dance educator, I have had the privilege of teaching acrobatics, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, ballet, tap, musical theatre, and Polynesian dance.
I am a certified teacher, choreographer, and adjudicator, with certifications in Acrobatic Arts, Aerial Arts (Hoop, Silks, and Hand Balancing), Alixa Flexibility, Tada Hand Balancing, AcroDance Pre-School, AcroDance Competition Adjudication, CDTA, muvMethod, and Progressing Ballet Technique.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Friday evenings only from September to February.
Focus on your skills and goals with these one-on-one sessions. Video instruction can be supplied for at home training and guidence.
CHOREOGRAPHY
Choreography is available for solos, duets, trios and groups. Home studio must approve. Rates available upon request.
FRIDAY TECH CLASSES
Are you looking for more acro training?
Finding time for acro on top of an already-packed dance schedule can feel
impossible, and that's exactly the problem I love solving.
I work with dancers to build foundational acro skills without pulling them away from the core classes they're already committed to. This program is meant to support the acro programs they are already training in.
Friday classes are open as drop-in or registered sessions, and I also offer private lessons and acro solo/duo choreography (with home studio approval).
Missing some exams?
Additional examination registration is available too, so students can catch up without missing a beat. Whatever your dancer's goals are, I'm here to help them get there.
Classes will run September - February on Friday evenings. Once competition season starts, workshops and drop-ins will be offered when dancers and I are available.
Friday evening schedule:
5:00-5:45 pm / Private or Semi-private lesson
Students will express areas of focus. Dancers receive feedback, notes, and video instruction after lessons.
5:45-6:30 pm / Private or Semi-private lesson
