Private classes

A student might want to book a private class with the teacher for personalized attention and focused instruction tailored to their specific needs and skill level. Private classes can help in refining technique, addressing individual challenges, and accelerating progress in a more intimate and customized learning environment compared to group sessions.
Also, booking a private class with a teacher is ideal for refining and perfecting a solo competition routine. It allows the student to receive personalized coaching on choreography, technique, and performance quality, ensuring they are well-prepared and confident for the competition. This individualized attention can also help in polishing details and making the routine stand out to judges.

Haley Harris

Haley Harris

Haley's parents put her into her first dance class when she was only four years old in the hopes that it would make her a bit more graceful. Little did they know that first class would ignite a passion for dance that has lasted her entire life. Haley danced competitively at Rockstar Academy of Dance in Nashville, Tennessee where she was trained in ballet, acro, lyrical, jazz, and contemporary. Haley transitioned from the competition circuit to teaching and movement-based companies, allowing her to develop her skills as an instructor and choreographer. She received her B.A. at the University of Chicago in Comparative Human Development where she focused on adolescent development and completed her thesis on the ways the dance world can better support the development of positive body images in young girls. Today, Haley continues to share her passion for dance teaching Acro at Martha's Dance Center.
