Private Ballet Coaching
with Ms. Mari Vasconez in Maspeth, Queens
Looking for individualized ballet instruction for your dancer?
I’m pleased to offer private ballet coaching at MotionScoop Dance Academy for dancers ages 8 and older. As MSDA’s Owner and Director, an MA-prepared Dance Educator from NYU Steinhardt, and a fully certified American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum instructor, I offer focused sessions tailored to each dancer’s training, goals, and individual needs.
Coaching includes classical ballet technique, technical refinement, classical variations, competition preparation, conditioning, and pre-pointe preparation.
Coaching Designed for the Individual Dancer
-
Classical Ballet Technique: Developing alignment, placement, coordination, musicality, port de bras, and a stronger understanding of classical technique.
-
Competition and Solo Preparation: Refining performance quality, transitions, musical interpretation, and the technical details that bring a solo to life.
-
Classical Variations and Repertoire: Working on stylistic clarity, artistry, phrasing, and the technical demands of classical repertoire.
-
Individualized Skill Development: Identifying areas for growth and creating focused goals that complement a dancer's regular training utilizing Floor Barre and Dance Conditioning approaches.
-
Pre-Pointe Preparation: Developing the foundational strength, coordination, and technical understanding needed for future pointe work, when appropriate for the dancer's development.
Each session is designed to complement—not replace—a dancer's regular studio training. My goal is to help dancers better understand their bodies, make purposeful corrections, and develop skills they can carry into their everyday classes and rehearsals.
A Thoughtful Approach to Training
I believe meaningful progress comes from more than repeating an exercise until it looks right. Dancers benefit from understanding how their bodies move, why corrections matter, and how to apply feedback independently.
My approach balances high expectations with developmentally appropriate instruction, encouraging dancers to work with intention while maintaining a healthy relationship with their training. Sessions are tailored to the dancer's age, experience, current training, and goals.
Private coaching is available for developing ballet students, pre-professional dancers, and competitive dancers seeking individualized attention.
