How to request Private/Semi-Private Lessons
All private/semi-private lessons must be booked directly with the instructor. Please scroll down to review the list of teachers, then see the Faculty page to learn more about them.
- Each instructor sets their own fee and will reserve studio space based on availability for in-person lessons. Virtual instruction is also available. (Hourly rates for private lessons range from $75-$150.)
- Students are responsible for cancelling with the instructor 24 hours in advance in consideration of the instructor’s time and pending requests for studio space.
- Students who are not registered TYSOD students must complete a waiver prior to their first lesson.
If you are not a registered student at our studio, please review/sign our waiver.
