I will be a member forever
I will be a member forever. Ksenia is truly the best dance teacher I've ever had. I've learned so much and I can feel in my dancing how my musicality is improving. I've also learned a lot more about jazz music and have been inspired by Ksenia to read several books about jazz and jazz history. This is such a fun learning adventure with Ksenia. I never want to stop being her student.
The best online course so far!
As a dance teacher (International Ballroom) I can only recommend Ksenia’s online course! It is well structured, following a consistent methodology suitable for both beginners and advanced dancers. The cherry on top is that Ksenia’s positive vibes are contagious and will definitely brighten your day!
"I've found Secrets of Solo to be an extremely comprehensive and helpful online dance program that has had a profound effect on my jazz dancing. I appreciate the structure and there's always something I can dive into to push myself in my dancing. Even when I watch a video a second time, there's more golden nuggets with the viewing experience. I enjoy the energy of Ksenia's program and it's also pushed me to be more energetic and given me confidence to explore different aspects of jazz. Highly recommend for anyone of any level; there's something here for everyone."
"The online courses from Ksenia and her team are simply great! Everything is so professionally prepared, from the videos, the explanations to the website and the support. Ksenia is a dedicated and experienced teacher who really cares about getting the best out of each individual dancer, I have experienced this personally. I am very happy to have found these courses for myself and can say that they are by far the best I have ever had. Thanks to Ksenia's classes, I have learned so much in the last few months, it was a wonderful time! I have already recommended Secrets of Solo to many acquaintances and friends and would do so again and again. Thank you, dear Ksenia!"
"I highly recommend this school! I have always shied away from anything online, especially as (for me) this was a substantial investment. But it is so worth every penny.... the videos are clear, the teaching easy to follow and understand, and Ksenia gives very good feedback within the groups you can follow once on the course. I am only a month in but already feel I have learnt a lot and I have fun....even in the many moments I feel I have three left feet! Thank you Ksenia for this introduction to the world of jazz, both music and dance!"
"You will never regret it! Ksenia is one of the most amazing dancers on this planet and she is a marvellous teacher too! I'm a professional contemporary dancer and I started dancing lindy hop and solo jazz a few years ago and Ksenia changed my life! Ksenia puts a lot of effort into every detail of every video and guides you step by step. The website is very easy to use and there is tons of cool material. Ksenia's school will help you become a better dancer and I'm sure that you will never regret starting this wonderful journey for yourself!"
"I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being part of the school and the community. The weekly assignment builds a good habit for me to work on my solo jazz every week and the feedback Ksenia provides is invaluable and really helps guide me in my solo jazz journey. Thank you so much Ksenia!"
"It's no secret, Ksenia's solo jazz courses are simply the best - short and sweet, to the point and very accessible. The videos are presented in a highly professional, yet friendly and challenging manner. "T'aint what you do (tis the way that you do it)". That sums it all up. I can highly recommend these online classes to all who want to get to grips with authentic jazz dance and progress at their own pace."
Ksenia’s magnetic personality motivates me to keep going every time! How did I ended up here?! My solo jazz journey began with live lessons, the teacher opted for teaching routines straight away and I felt that I needed a comprehensive beginner course on basic solo jazz steps, so Secrets of Solo was supplementing live classes at the start but quickly took over my schedule as I was fascinated by the abundance of material with thorough and detailed explanations. I keep finding something new every time I revisit a class and it's simply a joy to watch Ksenia dance. She is an an amazing dancer, artist and talented teacher and I'm so happy I stumbled upon her online classes ? I can feel that Ksenia puts her heart into the SoS community and wants her students to surprise themselves, there is heart in every bit of this dance school! ❤️
"I recommend this course to everyone: from the beginner who would like to try solo jazz for the first time, to a more expert dancer looking for technical improvement. Ksenia is an amazing teacher, the classes are clear and effective. It's a great guide for your practice! ❤️"
"Absolutely amazing! I have been a member of Ksenia's website since the beginning. I've seen each course grow and I'm always excited to follow them. The amazing thing is that every time I come back to the lessons, I discover something new. It was one of the most creative, stimulating and intensive journeys in my life. Ksenia took care of every moment during our training, in terms of motivation and organization. The exercises were personalized for each participant as was the feedback. I felt taken care of at any moment. She is a great and inspiring teacher who loves to share her passion for dance with the students."
"Secrets of solo is the best online dance school for everybody who loves Jazz ! Both if you are beginner and professional you can always find the right material for your needs. Ksenia Parkhatskaya is an amazing teacher! They provide you with a lot of details about dancing technique, style, suggestions, feedback.
