Sonia is a dream to work with. I felt very nervous before starting to learn to dance. Sonia made me feel very at ease and I felt she listened to my needs. I had so much fun learning new moves and letting go of many limiting beliefs I had about myself when it comes to dancing. I recommend Sonia 100%. I can't wait for my next lesson. More...

I’ve recently taken the ‘Self-Confidence and poise’ classes. I wanted to do it as l always struggled with dancing my entire life and felt I looked silly, and was really unsure how to move.
I struggled with dancing within social settings among friends and colleagues. As I am now reaching my 50’s I want to undergo many things I pushed under the carpet, at a younger age and one of them is Dance.
This service is excellent as Sonia really mentors you on a 1:1 basis and fills you with confidence by focusing on the real basics of movement. I didnt realise I'd even re-learn ‘how to walk’, I never understood how a walk could really change someone’s confidence and perception.
The simplest factors like that really make a difference, now I take pride in my walk and it has really boosted my confidence. She really listens to you and eliminates any fear you may have

I always wanted to dance and I was always shy to do so. Sonia helped me a lot to gain confidence and let myself go. I was a beginner when I started having classes and now I feel like a confident dancer! We started remote classes and initially I thought it'd be hard to learn dance remotely but it has been mind blowing, Sonia's such a fab teacher! More...

Sonia is a superb teacher. She has really helped me with my confidence and stage presence, It's been a very long time since I engaged in any style of dance, and was extremely nervous. She made me feel at ease instantly, by the end of her lessons I was boosted with confidence. Sonia has amazing energy, that she injects into all her lessons. Highly recommended. More...

Sonia has been giving online dance lessons to my daughter for a number of months. The lessons are varied and very enjoyable. Sonia is very reliable and easy to communicate with. This has been a fantastic activity for my daughter, and Sonia has really engaged with her and improved both her technique and confidence significantly. More...

Sonia has been a fantastic teacher and helped me massively to improve my stage performance and overall confidence in my body expression. She is remarkably good at boosting your strengths and tailoring the course to your needs, from learning dance routines to owning the dancefloor and feeling at ease with your body movements. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy injecting my energy and knowledge into students. To inspire and encourage is such a rewarding factor for me, to see the development over time in students is fantastic.
Self-Confidence and poise
This service is solely dedicated to 🖤SELF-LOVE🖤
In these 1:1 mentoring lessons, we will focus on personal projection and how to understand and embrace your natural movement.
I will guide you through the basics of movement:
How to walk with confidence, and how to move within a social setting.
Confidence comes within. In order to move, your mind has to feel secure and safe, this is what we will work on.
I create a safe welcoming space for you to feel at ease and let go of any unwanted anxiety that may be surfacing around your energy.
If you are lacking confidence and need nurturing this service is perfect for you :)
Designing and Choreographing performance pieces
This service is about individuality, communication, self-expression, delegation, process and most importantly the freedom to express your personality through movement.
Don't worry I will 100% be guiding you along the journey and will provide you with the tools to succeed.
This ongoing exercise is for you to create a performance piece from scratch using a strategic structure.
We will be working in a journal; where we will be brainstorming, developing, and collating ideas/thoughts.
This journal will be your main point of contact throughout this entire process, so make sure you have it handy.
We will go into intricate detail about your interests/hobbies, likes, dislikes, aspirations, inspirations and so much more! Diving into who you really are :)
We then will put ‘your’ ideas into practice.
Who is this service for?
This service is ideal for any student wanting to prepare for Dance/Performance scholarships/shows/talent shows, or anyone who wants to learn how to pull together a dance choreographed routine from beginning to end.
What age levels?
Any age level
