Private Ballet Lessons near you

Private ballet lessons are one-on-one sessions with a teacher, offering focused attention that a group class can't. Dancers use them for all sorts of reasons: a nervous adult who'd rather begin without an audience, a student polishing a variation for an exam or audition, someone catching up after time away, or a dancer who simply wants targeted work on a stubborn part of their technique. Because the whole session is about you, progress on a specific goal can come quickly. It suits anyone with a particular aim or who prefers individual instruction. Expect a tailored session, expect to cover a lot of ground on your own needs, and expect scheduling and pricing to be arranged directly with the teacher or studio. The 1,214 studios below offer private ballet lessons — use the map to find the closest one, or browse by state.

Program labels come from each studio's own website and students' reviews; class schedules and levels change, so check the studio's timetable before you go.
