Private Lessons

Private lessons are a great option for many reasons: reviewing the basics, learning terminology of the ABT curriculum for class placement, analyzing alignment or strength imbalances, working on mastering certain skills, and especially for students wishing to advance at an accelerated pace.

Private Lesson Length	Tuition Fee per Lesson
30 Minute Lesson	$45 per Lesson
45 Minute Lesson	$55 per Lesson
60 Minute Lesson	$65 per Lesson
75 Minute Lesson	$75 per Lesson
90 Minute Lesson	$85 per Lesson

*Rates listed above are for private lessons with CBA faculty. Private lessons taught by guest artists or CB Co-Directors are at a rate of $80/hour.
