A coach for the road ahead.
For young dancers with ambition — heading towards an audition, a pre-professional programme, or a focused leap forward. One-on-one work with Justin and Ineke, grounded in the ABT National Training Curriculum.
A group class builds a dancer. An audition year demands something different — targeted work on what holds you back now, and on what needs to be right in six months. That's what private coaching is for.— Justin & Ineke · ABT Primary–Level 5
Five threads we pick up together.
One variation, one combination, one muscle memory at a time. We work on what ABT-level demands — not on whatever is trending online.
Which variation suits you right now, what still needs work, how it reads on camera. We're involved in every audition tape we send out.
An audition year is physically demanding. We build strength and mobility through yoga and targeted exercises, and help you manage the workload at home.
What to do when your mind goes blank, how to stand before a panel, how to recover from a mistake. Practical work — in the studio and on real stages.
Which programmes, when to apply, what the deadlines are, what the costs look like. An honest conversation with parents present — this is a family decision, not just a dance one.
A list, not a promise.
Every path is different. What the dancers below share: they worked hard here, and they landed in the right place for who they are.
Justin & Ineke — the full picture.
One sharpens the technique, the other reads the person. Together they create the space in which a dancer dares. Both trained in ABT National Training Curriculum, both working from this studio for years.
ABT-certified, Primary through Level 5. Brought the curriculum to this studio and has guided multiple cohorts through audition years. Straight-talking, obsessive about line, patient with details others miss.
Trained in dance and yoga, with years of experience supporting young dancers through high-pressure periods. Reads a dancer quickly, knows when to push and when to ease off. The person you want beside you during an audition year.
Schedule an exploratory conversation.
Parents and dancer together, roughly an hour. You share the ambition and the doubts. We look at technique, conditioning, and timing, and give you an honest view of whether a private coaching track makes sense — and if so, what shape it takes. Fees are bespoke, no packages.
