Bella Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hi, I am new here but I have been doing ballet as an adult for more than 10 years on and off. I am just wondering if there are any intermediate semi-private ballet class in Birmingham I can join? Or anyone around Birmingham would like to share a two hours private ballet class with me? Being able to share would make the class much more affordable while still benefiting from individual attention!! I would really want to get much better but feel i am getting loss in large group classes. anyone interested, please PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Oh and I would love the chance of doing more advanced pointe work and repertoire in the semi private class!! 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trog Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I think Nicholson School of Dance offer private tuition. Really gorgeous studios too! I really miss going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate_N Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 When I lived in Birmingham, ballet friends of mine used to do semi-private classes, coaching & Pilates with Julie Felix. I've done DanceXchange classes with her at an Advanced level, and she is amazing! I found her a wee bit scary to be honest, and I never received corrections from her so I was probably not up to her standard, but I learned a lot from her. And my friends really enjoyed their coaching with her. I think if you googled her name, you'll find her contact details. You could also ask Annette Nicolson - another wonderful wonderful teacher. (There's not too much I miss about living in Birmingham, except the wonderful adult ballet options). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I am moving to Kings Heath/ Moseley area. Thank you very much for your suggestion. Let me check out Nicholson- seem highly recommended. I tried the dancexchange classes long time ago before I went away for uni... they are of very high standard especially the advanced classes but not very personal though as the class size was quite big. I would love to be able to dance at a higher level and therefore I am hoping to find smaller classes or some private coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I know of kids who have had private lessons with Olivia Pickford (I suggest see Opes summer school website for contact info) so she may be open to teaching you - I'd be interested to share with you only I live about 250 miles away sadly!! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletdream Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hi, i would highly recommend Annette Nicholson, she has beautiful studios, and is a very talented lady . She was a principal dancer with BRB and is very professional teacher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bella Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Contacted Annette- given everyone is recommending her, I am not surprised to hear that she is completely booked up for privates 😢... oh dear!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate_N Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 You could ask if she could recommend anyone else? Or try Julie Felix, who is an acknowledged master teacher. RB Upper School students go to her in the holidays & the son of a Birmingham friend went to her during rehab from an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
