WORKSHOPS
Amira has taught beginner to professionals throughout Michigan, and can come to your location to teach a workshop.
You may choose from two, four, or 6 hours, depending on what you want covered that day.
We can even make a day of it and have a showcase or Hafla afterwards!
Workshop topic ideas include Technique, Choreography, Props, Styles, and more. Amira has a myriad of choreographies "under her belt," and is happy to teach them in a mixed-level format!
Please reach out to Amira to get things started.
​
PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE GROUP COACHING
Wanting to develop your style, refine your technique, or break past your current dance plateau? The fastest way to attain your dance goal is to schedule a coaching session with Amira.
Whether you are a beginner or beyond, you will benefit from Amira's knowledge and patient teaching style.
Semi-private or private lesson examples include improvisation, blocking, choreography, and performance critique.
All Dance Coaching sessions will start with a consultation interview. This will determine where you are currently in your dance journey, where you want to be, and what steps are required to get there. At this point, the approximate number of classes will be ascertained, and then scheduled.
The student(s) will have to cover the cost of travel costs and space rental, unless the class is held in their home or via Zoom.
All class notes, replays, and music playlists are included.
Semi-Private Dance Coaching
This class format is for groups of three or more. Ideal for troupes preparing for competition or wanting to hone their stage skills.
Tuition for Semi-private lessons is $100/hour with up to 4 students, with an additional $15 per student per hour for groups of 5 or more.
Private Dance Coaching
This is a one-on-one setting with a desired result in mind, such as entering a competition or performing a routine for a special event.
Tuition for currently enrolled students: $60 per hour or $300 for 6 consecutive weekly classes
Tuition for non-students: $75 per hour, or $390 for 6 consecutive weekly classes
Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
Please give at least 24-hours notice to either cancel or reschedule your private lesson. There will be NO refunds for missed or late cancellation/rescheduled lessons.
Discontinued Lessons
No refunds will be given after the private lesson package has been purchased. The balance of unused private lessons may be applied to an appropriate group class, at Amira’s discretion, and must commence with 3 months of the original purchase.
