As an intermediate dancer, I have been super excited to improve my skills and work on transitioning into advanced classes! Jocelyn helped me so much with not just my jazz dance skills, but even tips on advance class etiquette and confidence tips for class! I really enjoyed Jocelyn’s lesson and appreciated all the effort she put in to the session!

I initially scheduled a lesson with Jocelyn to work on my flexibility & I am more than happy with what I got! Jocelyn came more than prepared with so many different flexibility exercises and tips that she showed me how to do herself! I will certainly be utilizing all of these exercises and tips in the future :) Thanks Jocelyn!

Working with Jocelyn was such a blast! She is so sweet and kind and always made sure all of my questions were answered so that I understand everything clearly! She took me through a whole warm up and even taught me a dance combination! Loved working with Jocelyn :)

Jocelyn is such an incredible tap teacher! I was a little nervous to see how it would go learning tap online, but Jocelyn was so professional and organized. I definitely feel like I got exactly what I wanted out of this lesson & will be reaching out again!

I am more of an advanced dancer, so I was super excited to get to work with Jocelyn since she is a professional working dancer! I really loved how even though we worked on my physical dance skills, she also went over career tips with me as well!

How it works

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonStart with the basics of rhythm and body awareness. Teach simple weight shifts, basic footwork patterns, and how to feel the beat. Keep it playful—use music they love and celebrate every small win. End with a short, easy combination they can feel proud of & take home to enjoy and practice!

Lesson 11+Focus shifts to quality over quantity. Refine turns, improve balance, work on musical interpretation and emotional connection. Introduce choreography they can perform. Encourage them to explore different styles and find what resonates. These lessons are about transformation—from beginner to confident dancer with their own unique style.

Lesson 4-10Each lesson introduces new elements: levels (high/low), dynamics (sharp/smooth), floor work, partnering basics, or style-specific techniques. Mix learning with creative exploration—let them add their own flair. Build longer combinations and introduce performance concepts like eye contact and stage presence. By lesson 10, they should have several go-to moves and feel comfortable freestyling!

Lesson 2-3Introduce transitional steps and direction changes. Work on connecting movements smoothly and staying on beat. Add arm styling and basic turns. These lessons bridge isolated moves into flowing sequences. They’ll start to feel like a “real dancer” here!

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonAssess the dancer’s current technical level through warm-up, across-the-floor work, and a short combination, then discuss their goals and strengths. Set specific objectives for the next lessons together.

Lesson 11+Work on substantial choreography pieces that develop artistry, personal style, and stage presence. Focus on performance skills, conditioning, audition preparation, and exploring new styles to expand versatility.

Lesson 4-10Build advanced skills including complex turns, jumps, fast footwork, professional freestyle & performance tricks, and improvisation while developing performance quality. Culminate with a mini-showcase where the student performs and reviews video feedback of themselves.

Lesson 2-3Focus on correcting alignment, core engagement, and their weakest technical area while introducing drills for home practice. Develop essence, musicality, and quality of movement through a variation of artistic tools and techniques.
