STUDENT QUOTES
“Thanks a lot for what you made for me! You’re a wonderful dancer, an incredible teacher and a beautiful lady! I’m looking forward to working with you more!!”
“It was so useful to me; it gave me loads of freedom and made me feel really comfortable using my own movement and ideas. I choreographed something as soon as I got home, which I never would have done otherwise, and ended up doing my first tribal performance not long after that. Yay! So thanks.”
”Thank you so much for sharing your vision. I totally fell in love with your routine, it goes right to my heart. I was just submerged by the strength of emotions in your dance. Bravo! I want mooore!!”
PRIVATE LESSONS
If you feel you need extra attention before an important performance or there are specific recurring troubles that can be solved with some extra one on one attention, a private class with Tjarda may be exactly what you need to bring out the best.
CHOREOGRAPHY SUPPORT
When a work-in-progress gets stuck, whether solo or in a group, it can be helpful to get outside experience. Or even when a choreography is fully formed, some tweaking with Tjarda might be just what you need to give the performance that magical edge. A little extra inspiration, an outside pair of impartial eyes or just some plain old reassurance will do wonders on stage!
COACHING & TRAINING
Are you getting the best out of yourself or your group? Working alone or with the same people all the time may create blind spots to all the possibilities both out there and within. With useful feedback on your style, posture and technique, Tjarda can help you find wider physical possibilities, a deeper consciousness of your body, a clearer picture of the dynamics within your group of individual dancers. Get in touch and see what Tjarda can do for you in terms of progress, development and strengthening presentation in a close and personal setting. With her eye for possibilities a little can go a very long way.
