Private Lessons
Ashley Ballet Arts Academy offers private instruction for students who wish to improve quickly through one-on-one interaction with an instructor.
-
Private lessons are available for enrolled ABAA students.
Please contact the Directors, Micah & Yellie Chermak, if you are not a current student and would like more information about our private lessons.
-
Lessons are bought in bulk with 5 or 10 class Private Lesson punch cards.
Our Private Lesson punch cards can be used to study any dance or somatic discipline with any ABAA faculty member that is available. Mix and match both your private class focus and your favorite teachers at competitive national rates bought in bulk! Each punch card comes with an advising instructor to personally attend to the need of your dancer, and make personal recommendations on their training. Individual private lessons are only available on a case by case basis for consistency of training, injury prevention, and the maintenance of academy professionalism. Please email mydirectors@ashleyballetarts.com with any questions or issues.
-
If your desired instructor does not have availability listed, please check with them.
Some instructors prefer to add availability upon request. However, please understand that the instructor may be fully booked or otherwise unavailable. Faculty contact information is available on our Faculty & Staff page. Please contact the Directors, Micah & Yellie Chermak, with any questions or for other lesson requests.

Private lesson Punch Card policies
Validity
Private lesson punch cards are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase.
Consistency & Progress
Private lessons are most beneficial when taken consistently. We encourage families to maintain a regular schedule whenever possible to support each dancer’s growth, progress, and continuity with their instructor.
Scheduling & Instructor Availability
Our instructors thoughtfully set aside time for their private lesson students. If there is a gap in scheduling, that time may be offered to other dancers.
When you’re ready to resume, we will work with you to find the best available options. While your original instructor or preferred time may not always be available after a break, our broader faculty is here to support you. When helpful, we may suggest working with other instructors or rotating through available faculty to ensure you’re able to use your remaining lessons within the validity period.
Private lesson punch cards may be used with any available instructor unless otherwise arranged.
Staying Connected
If your schedule shifts or you take time away, simply reach out when you’re ready to resume. We are happy to help you reestablish a plan that works within current availability and supports continued progress.
Cancellations
We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations or changes. Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be deducted from your punch card, as your instructor has reserved that time especially for you.
