Private contemporary, modern and lyrical dance lessons in London

Explore movement, technique and expression through a private contemporary, modern or lyrical dance lesson tailored to the individual. Dakodas offers focused coaching for children, teenagers and adults, from first-time dancers to experienced performers.

Who this private class is for

A private session can help a student build confidence before joining a class, improve technical foundations, prepare a solo or audition, or continue dancing during a London visit or school holiday. It is also ideal for dancers who want time to explore artistry and movement quality in greater depth.

What your lesson can include

  • Contemporary and modern technique, control and alignment
  • Floor work, transitions, balance and use of weight
  • Musicality, dynamics and expressive movement
  • Lyrical choreography and storytelling
  • Improvisation, creativity and individual artistry
  • Audition, solo and performance preparation

The teacher can create new choreography, coach an existing piece or build a complete lesson around the dancer's technical and creative goals. With individual corrections and space to experiment, the student can develop confidence, freedom and greater intention in their movement.

Where private lessons can take place

Choose a Dakodas studio in Knightsbridge, a suitable home, hotel or private venue in London. We regularly arrange lessons for local families, international visitors and bookings made through hotel concierges. Private sessions are generally for one or two participants. Larger groups can be arranged, although the price may increase.

How booking works

  1. Choose and pay for a 60, 90 or 120-minute private session online.
  2. We contact you to ask for your preferred day, time, location and goals.
  3. We match you with a suitable specialist teacher and confirm the final arrangement.

Because the lesson is individually arranged, the exact time is subject to teacher and venue availability. A small amount of flexibility may be needed, but our team will work with you to find the best possible option.

Book a private contemporary, modern or lyrical dance lesson for personalised coaching that develops both technique and artistry.
