Pre-Professional Online Ballet Private
Elevate Your Ballet Skills Online with a Professional Ballerina
Service Description
Work one-on-one with Jasmine McDonald, a former professional ballerina and RAD-registered teacher with over 20 years of experience across performance, vocational training, and dance education. Having progressed through the full pathway from student to professional dancer and now educator, Jasmine brings a clear understanding of what is required at a pre-professional level. These 1.5-hour private online sessions are designed specifically for pre-professional ballet students preparing for auditions, associate programmes, vocational schools, and professional careers. Each class is carefully structured to allow time for in-depth technical correction, strength and alignment work, and detailed artistic coaching. The extended session length ensures there is space to refine classical technique, develop musicality, and build the consistency and stamina expected in professional training environments. Every lesson is fully tailored to the individual dancer, supporting your syllabus requirements, technical goals, and personal development. Jasmine combines professional stage experience with evidence-based teaching methods to deliver precise, targeted feedback that supports safe and effective progression. Why work one-on-one? At a pre-professional level, small details make a significant difference. One-on-one coaching provides focused attention on alignment, turnout, strength, coordination, and technical habits that directly impact performance and progression. You receive personalised corrections and exercises designed specifically for your body and training needs, helping you progress more efficiently than in a group setting. The longer session format also allows for deeper exploration of artistry, musical interpretation, and performance quality. Without the constraints of a group class, you can work through corrections in real time, revisit exercises, and develop a stronger understanding of how to apply feedback consistently. This creates a training environment that closely reflects professional expectations and helps build confidence for auditions, exams, and future career pathways.
