Virtual Lessons
Even if you don’t live near Ottawa, Canada, you can benefit from Maria’s coaching. In fact, a single video lesson can give you enough material to work on for months!
We prefer to use Skype for these lessons, but we can also trade videos.
Skype lessons are a realtime video experience – you’re on your laptop or ipad and Maria is on hers. We can work in realtime and can incorporate video review/analysis as well.
Skype lessons are available for:
- 30 minutes = $35
- 60 minutes = $65
Video lessons require you to send Maria a video of your dancing, which Maria will watch, analyze, and critique. She will send you back a video with guidance and instruction. Video lessons are available for:
- 1.5 hour minimum = $90 (there may be a delay of several days or a week between the video analysis and the video response).
Payment is online prior to the lesson, via PayPal or Online Interac. Please contact us for details.
