Private Coaching For Grades 2-12
Hi, I'm Vanessa 👋🏻
I've spent more than 15 years coaching dancers of all ages— from preschool to competitive high school athletes.
I've taught hundreds of dancers, choreographed more than 75 routines, directed full-scale productions, and coached countless private lessons.
Whether your dancer wants stronger turns, higher leaps, increased flexibility, or the confidence to perform at their best, my goal is always the same:
Help your dancer reach their next level!
Coaching Philosophy
Technique matters. Flexibility matters. Strength matters. But confidence is what allows a dancer to truly shine. My goal is to create a space where each dancer feels seen, supported, and inspired to grow.
My lessons are individualized, encouraging, and challenging. Together we'll celebrate victories, learn from setbacks, and build the skills and self-belief needed for dancers to perform at the top of their game!
Building Mentally Strong Dancers
At Coach V's Place, private lessons are about more than improving technique. Every session is personalized to help dancers strengthen their skills, overcome challenges, and grow in confidence.
Whether we're refining turns, cleaning choreography, increasing flexibility, or preparing for auditions, my goal is to create a supportive environment where every dancer feels challenged, encouraged, and proud of their progress.

“Vanessa is like no other dance coach my daughter has worked with! The positive and high energy that she brings to every session is infectious. She tailors every session to the dancer and comes up with fun and silly sayings that the dancer can use to remember how to perfect their form or routine.”
Kind Words From Families
