Private Lesson Testimonials

Ester Linton

Bridget is an incredible teacher. I have seen so much progress in my alignment in just a few private zoom lessons. She is incredibly attentive, detailed, and articulate in her feedback. At the same time she is very supportive and warm, providing the best possible environment for improvement. Sometimes as an adult ballet dancer, it can feel like teachers don’t take you seriously since you aren’t going to be a professional dancer. In contrast, Bridget not only encourages adult dancers but actually allows us to grow toward our full potential. I loved taking her classes in studio groups but taking privates has really allowed me to reach the next level. Bridget is always reliable and consistent, and I have always appreciated her punctuality. She always gives you her full attention and energy, every minute of every single class. I always feel such positive vibes the whole class and leave feeling inspired and energized. Can’t wait for my next class!

Attending weekly private lessons with Bridget was one of the best experiences of 2020/2021! Our six-year-old learned so much and gained such strength from the one-on-one attention she got from Miss B. My husband and I both had years of dance training and we agree that Miss B is a quality instructor who teaches a mix of excellent technique and fun creativity. -Ginna Hoben

When we signed our daughter up to take Modern, Ballet & Jazz classes at a brand new studio a few years ago, we had no idea that working with Bridget would literally change her life.

After working with Bridget for just a few weeks, she went from a little girl who "moved well" to this blossoming classical ballerina- her passion and excitement had suddenly been awakened. With Bridget's stretching routine, she immediately started dropping into splits, backbends, and things she'd never even come close to accomplishing in her 5 former years of dance class with different teachers. She started listening to classical ballet music, and every surface and doorway in our apartment became a ballet barre!

Bridget truly sparked a real sense of self, creativity & poise in our daughter that we never even knew existed- which eventually led to her getting accepted into Ballet Tech for Elementary and now Middle School. None of this could've been accomplished without Bridget, who is still our daughter's mentor and dance coach- even while she's in full-time pre-professional dance training at school. Bridget's specificity and precision has continued to be a north light for our daughter throughout this excruciating past pandemic year, and she's been able to help her keep her technique and build her strength even through a zoom screen! Our favorite thing about Bridget is that, at the core of all of the rigor and intensive dance training- she never loses sight of keeping the element of creativity, respect and playfulness- which we feel is the most important thing, when it comes to dancing as a kid. We will never be able to thank Bridget enough for helping our daughter discover her true talent and passion.
