Both formats use live sessions with the same instructors — the difference is how the time is structured.

- Fixed schedule — sessions at set times each week
- Peer feedback and shared exercises included
- Lower cost per session compared to private
- Structured curriculum with a defined end point
Private Lessons
100% one-on-one with your instructor
- Flexible scheduling around your calendar
- Content adapts to your specific technique gaps
- Instructor attention on every movement correction
- Session recordings shared after each lesson

"Having an instructor actually watch me in real time made more difference than months of recorded classes."
— Daryna Kovalchuk, Stage Technique student
I joined the Foundations programme without any formal training background. The pace was structured enough to follow but the instructor adjusted exercises based on what she saw each session. Three months in, my movement quality is noticeably different.
The private intensive was worth it specifically because of how specific the feedback was. No generic corrections — my instructor identified exactly where my transitions broke down and we worked on just that for two sessions.
