In the vibrant dance scene of London, many students thrive in group settings, enjoying the shared energy of a class. But for those who want individual attention, faster progress, and training designed around personal goals, Private Dance Classes in London at the European College of Dance (ECD) offer the perfect solution. Whether you are preparing for a performance, working on fitness, or seeking a discreet and comfortable environment to learn, private tuition provides a pathway to improvement that group lessons can’t always deliver.
Every dancer is different. Some learn best in groups, while others excel when given one-to-one instruction. Private classes create an environment where every detail is tailored to the student: pace, style, and feedback. Unlike large group sessions, where an instructor must divide attention, private lessons mean the focus is entirely on you.
Benefits include:
Rapid progress – Faster skill development thanks to constant feedback.
Customised curriculum – Training tailored to your specific goals.
Confidence building – Ideal for those who feel shy in large groups.
Flexible scheduling – Classes arranged to fit around your availability.
In a city as dynamic as London, time is precious. Private classes allow students to make the most of their training without wasting a single moment.
The European College of Dance has built its reputation on delivering excellence in dance education and performance. Our private programme reflects that same commitment to quality. Held in a discrete, fully equipped private studio, these lessons provide a safe and comfortable space where learning is maximised.

One of the strongest advantages of ECD is its teaching faculty. Private students are trained by internationally experienced professionals who bring the highest standards of dance education.
Angelo Ruggieri, ECD’s founder, has performed with major companies across Europe, including European Ballet, and worked on productions such as Chicago and Moulin Rouge. His choreography and experience in international productions provide insight into both stage technique and artistry.
Susanna Sastro, with over two decades of experience, is an award-winning choreographer known for her elegant and expressive teaching style.
Cindy Corinne Ciunfrini, trained in London and internationally, has performed in Phantom of the Opera, Matthew Bourne’s Edward Scissorhands, and Swan Lake.
For private students, this means learning directly from teachers who have not only mastered technique but also lived the reality of professional dance careers.
Private tuition is often chosen by students who want to improve confidence before joining a group class or audition. In a private lesson, mistakes are addressed immediately, and progress feels tangible after each session.
This approach is particularly effective for adults returning to dance after a break, or complete beginners who might feel intimidated in larger group settings. With the support of a professional instructor, students build technical skill and self-belief simultaneously.
For advanced dancers, private lessons can focus on perfecting audition routines, refining technique, or mastering a particular style. This flexibility makes private training a powerful tool for dancers at any stage of their journey.
What sets ECD apart from other schools offering Private Dance Classes in London is the integration of stage performance into learning. Even in one-to-one sessions, students are encouraged to approach choreography as if they were preparing for a live show.
ECD regularly produces international performances in London, Italy, and China, and private students benefit from this professional atmosphere. The school’s philosophy is clear: technique must be paired with artistry and stagecraft to create a complete performer.
Private lessons at ECD are popular with a wide range of students, including:
Professionals preparing for auditions.
Couples learning choreography for a wedding.
GCSE and diploma students preparing for exams.
Adults starting dance for fitness, fun, or personal growth.
International students seeking a discreet and exclusive environment.
The flexibility of private training makes it suitable for anyone, regardless of age or background.
While many studios in London offer private lessons, ECD provides something truly unique: the combination of technical expertise and professional performance experience. Students don’t just learn steps—they learn how to embody confidence, musicality, and stage presence.

Discrete private studio space.
