One-on-one or small group training for dancers who need focused individual work. Open to students from any studio. Single sessions and packs available.
Tracks
The Soloist Program is open to students from any studio, not just those enrolled in Ballet Nova or Eterna. Sessions are built around what each dancer specifically needs.
Baby Ballet
Children up to age 7
Private or semi-private only. This is the most important window for building foundations that are harder to teach later: musicality, turnout, flexibility, coordination and focus. The work is thorough and the standards are real. Lessons are fun, but young children in a group can easily turn the work into play. Individual sessions keep the energy where it needs to be.
Soloist Coaching
Solo, competition or audition preparation
For dancers who need individual coaching beyond regular class. Sessions are built around the dancer's specific goal, whether that is a solo, a competition, an audition, a stage performance or a professional pathway. The work may include choreography, repertoire modification, technical clean-up, musicality, presentation and performance detail.
Étoile Track
International competitions and professional career pathways
The most intensive track within The Soloist Program. For dancers preparing for international competitions, serious auditions, full-time training, junior company pathways, apprentice opportunities or company-level work. Regular, consistent sessions are required. A fee discount may be available for consecutive regular bookings. T&Cs apply. Financial circumstances can be discussed.
All tracks are open to external students.

Fees are kept low by design. Ballet cannot be practised alone at home. Consistent time in the studio is the work. Pricing that keeps dancers away from class is an obstacle to progress, not a standard to uphold.
