PRIVATE LESSONS & CHOREOGRAPHY
All of us at Live Oak are interested in developing new artists in New Orleans. Taking privates is a great way to move ahead in a short period of time, but privates are not a substitute for a regular group class. For this reason, private classes are a privilege of students participating in classes at Live Oak Dance. To schedule a private with one of our faculty please contact Jarina.
