Dance Artistry Coaching (Online)
Enhance your artistry and performance with personalized guidance and support from their coach!
Service Description
Elevate your solo performance to the next level this competition season by layering it with artistry and personal style. Open to students aged 7-19, regardless of experience, this program includes a comprehensive approach for students to understand how they can incorporate their individual POV and authentic expression in their pieces. Choreographers/Teachers are welcome to be as hands-on or as hands-off in this process as they'd like! The student will be asked to complete a questionnaire ahead of time about their thoughts on their dance journey and performing in general. During a 30-minute Zoom consultation, we'll explore the dancer's mental outlook and perspective on performance, specifically targeting areas where the student is having trouble feeling comfortable in their movement. We'll discuss strategies to help develop and strengthen their mental resilience pre-performance. After the first competition performance, we'll conduct a 30-minute debrief session to analyze unexpected factors during the performance, highlight successes, and identify areas for growth in future performances. Coach Chelsea has been a dancer, teacher, choreographer, and competition judge, which means she can provide a wealth of insight and experience to help the dancers feel more relaxed and confident. She'll tailor her guidance to fit each dancer's needs, personalizing their experience and meeting them right where they are on their dance journey to help them reach their goals! Students can expect ongoing support and communication from their coach throughout the competition season, extending to questions about costumes/music selections, self-image concerns, performance anxieties, and guidance on dance competition culture and expectations. Having a coach ensures that teachers, choreographers, students, and parents have access to additional guidance and insight from an experienced outside source. Students are encouraged to work hands-on a with teacher or a choreographer in their studio to effectively and practically apply their newly developed artistry.
