In a group class, a teacher has an entire room to watch.
Here, Michelle is watching you.
Every session is built around the individual dancer. Their body, their technique, their goals and what Michelle sees in front of her that day.
Whether you’re strengthening your foundations, working through a stubborn technical challenge, preparing for an audition or competition, or looking for that extra edge in your training, private coaching gives you the time and individual attention to go deeper.

Michelle builds each session around what will make the biggest difference for you.

Know exactly what you want to work on? Fantastic!
Not sure what’s holding you back? That’s okay too. Michelle will assess what she’s seeing and help identify where your time together can make the biggest difference

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all lesson.
Michelle will work with the dancer in front of her — breaking things down, making corrections and finding the cues and exercises that help things click.

The goal isn’t to create progress that only exists while Michelle is standing beside you.
You’ll leave with a better understanding of your technique, what to work on and how to continue applying your corrections in your regular training.
Please reach me at hello@mfwcoaching.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question!
Michelle works with dancers at a variety of levels. You don’t need to be an advanced dancer to benefit from private coaching. What matters most is that you’re ready to learn, take corrections and work!
Sessions may focus on technique, turns, jumps, flexibility, strength, artistry, performance quality and other areas specific to the dancer’s goals and training.
In-person private coaching takes place at Michelle’s private home studio in Edmonton.
Private coaching sessions are 60 minutes, but many dancers opt for 1.5 hour sessions, depending on their age, level and ability.
It depends on the dancer and their goals. Some dancers come for a specific issue or tune-up, while others work with Michelle consistently over several sessions for continued development. The usual recommendation is 3-5 sessions before results become apparent.
Yes! Dancers outside Edmonton — or those who simply prefer virtual training — can work privately with Michelle via Zoom.
Yes! Semi-private coaching is available for 2-4 dancers at $45 per dancer, per hour, plus GST.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you walk through the door.
Bring your goals. Bring your questions. Bring your willingness to work.
Michelle will meet you where you are, and help you to move forward!

After many years of inconsistent training, my daughter lacked confidence and knowledge in her ballet studies. Michelle has given her that confidence and knowledge back, and has helped her achieve goals she didn't believe within her grasp. The positive training and feedback has be invaluable, we can not thank Michelle enough.

I worked with Miss Michelle for 8 years, I was struggling with some of the finer points of technique. Miss Michelle worked with me on basics across ballet, jazz, and contemporary. Greatly improving my abilities while ensuring that I was using proper, safe technique. Miss Michelle inspired my passion and continued love for dance. Without Miss Michelle I wouldn’t be the well rounded dancer I am today.
