Private Lesson Packages


Private lessons are a great way to get extra help with in-class material, work on solo projects and performance skills, or fine tune your dance technique. Studio rental is NOT included in the following packages.

Private Lessons

Studio Helix

Studio Helix is located on the 3rd floor of Thorne's Marketplace at 150 Main St. in downtown Northampton. The easiest place to park is the attached parking garage which is behind the building. The third floor of the garage has a walkway into Thorne's. From where you go into the building the studio is up 2 flights of stairs (confusingly the 3rd floor of the garage connects to the 1st floor of Thornes!). If you take the elevator the studio will be right in front of you on the right when you get out.
