ENQUIRE ABOUT PRIVATE STARTER LESSONS →Who private lessons suit
Private lessons suit adults, teenagers and children who would like individual attention. They can be a good starting point if you’re new to training, returning after a break or getting comfortable before joining a class. If you’re enquiring for your child, tell us their age and what you’d like them to get out of the session.
Your first lesson
We’ll begin by asking what interests you and what you’d like to work on. Your instructor will demonstrate a few basics, such as stance, balance or movement, then give you time to practise and ask questions. Each exercise can be adjusted to suit your experience, interests and pace.
You’ll get feedback as you go. We’ll finish by talking through what you enjoyed and what you could work on next.
Train in the way that suits you
If you’d like to join a group when you’re ready, we can suggest a suitable class and talk you through what happens on your first visit. You can also continue with private tuition or ask about combining the two.
Already training? Individual coaching gives you time to work on a technique, practise a sequence or get feedback on a skill you’d like to develop. Tell us what you have in mind so we can discuss a suitable instructor and session.
Before your first lesson
Do I need experience or equipment?
You can start with no experience. When we arrange your session, we’ll confirm what to wear, what to bring and whether you’ll need any equipment.
How do I find out the cost and available times?
Private lessons are available in 30, 45 or 60-minute sessions. We’ll recommend a session length based on your age, experience, goals and individual needs. Contact us to discuss availability, session options and pricing. We’ll confirm the instructor and booking arrangements with you directly.
Let’s talk about your first lesson
Tell us who the lesson is for, what you’d like to work on and the days or times that suit you. We’ll help you work out a starting point and explain how to arrange a session at our Castle Hill academy.
