PRIVATE SESSIONS: ACCEPTING APPOINTMENTS
At Ruby Karen Project, we highly recommend specialized sessions for students who have been training with us for over a year. These sessions serve as invaluable tools for students to focus on specific skills, tailor their routines to align with their personality, character, and skillset, and explore other areas of the performing arts. Not only do these sessions contribute to enhancing their confidence, but they also provide a unique opportunity for self-discovery. Particularly, these sessions are most popular among students preparing for performances in community and professional settings, as they play a significant role in their artistic and technical development.
