Private Instruction
Private lessons available on an extremely limited basis, pending studio space availability and faculty availability. Private lessons are not a replacement for class instruction. RCD class and rehearsal programming takes precedence over private lesson studio usage.

– $130/hr. payable directly to instructor with an additional $30/hr. payable to RCD for studio usage
– $75/half hr. payable directly to instructor with an additional $20 for half hour payable to RCD for studio usage.

Exceptions
Exceptions to the standard policy requiring full-time enrollment are:
– College, company, or intensive program audition material
– Professional choreographic needs
– Where an appropriate class level/discipline is not offered by RCD
Process
Private lessons must be booked directly through the RCD office. They are first-booked, first-served and must receive office approval. Accounts with outstanding balances may not book private lessons until all RCD fees are paid. Cancelations: Private lessons canceled less than 24 hours are subject to a 50% fee. No-shows will be billed 100% of the fee. Private lessons are not a substitute for class instruction. Private lessons do not guarantee level advancement nor preferred roles. The sole purpose of a private lesson is for the dancer’s benefit of additional studio time to work on technical skills.
