Dance is more than learning steps — it’s about reconnecting with the joy of movement, feeling comfortable in your body, and expressing yourself naturally.
My sessions are designed to help you move with ease, confidence, and rhythm in a relaxed and supportive space. Whether you’re completely new to dance or returning after time away, each session gently guides you into enjoying movement in a way that feels natural and pressure-free.
Why DANCE with Celestina
With over 19 years of experience as a professional dancer, I’ve performed internationally and trained with renowned choreographers including Anthony Van Laast, Irineu Nogueira, and Arlene Phillips. My background spans many styles, from Latin and ballroom to contemporary and hip hop, but at the heart of my teaching is helping people rediscover the freedom and joy of moving.
Every lesson is tailored to you. Some people come to build confidence dancing socially, some want to reconnect with movement, and others simply want to experience the joy of dancing again.
My approach creates a calm, welcoming environment where you can explore movement at your own pace and grow in confidence week by week.
A Personal Approach to Movement
Many people come to these sessions because they’ve always loved dance but never quite felt confident enough to explore it fully.
You may have danced when you were younger, always wanted to try, or simply feel drawn to music and movement but don’t know where to begin.
These sessions create a relaxed space where you can reconnect with that natural joy of moving — gently building confidence, rhythm, and ease in your body over time.
While the focus is on enjoying movement and finding your own flow, we can draw inspiration from a range of dance styles along the way, including:
• Ballroom & Jive
• Salsa and Latin rhythms
• Contemporary movement
• Hip-hop grooves
• Wedding or special occasion dancing
• Or simply moving freely with music
Every session is shaped around you — your comfort level, your interests, and the way your body naturally wants to move.
"Thank you so much Celestina. We have thoroughly enjoyed our dancing tuition with you. Your energy and enthusiasm are amazing and you have encouraged us to work outside our comfort zones. You have listened to us and been flexible in your approach to our ability. Each week we have improved and with your gentle persuasion we have completed a routine and perhaps more importantly been given the confidence to continue once our sessions are complete".
Thank you again.

"It has been an amazing journey with Celestina, I got in touch as never danced and zombies are better than me and with my wedding drawing near needed help. Celestina has been amazing and learnt the songs and words, did our choreography and tailored to our ability. With wedding just around the corner and last couple of lessons left we are confident and excited for our First dance. We have loved the enthusiasm and skills Celestina has and was always on time. Can't thank her enough."xx

"We both had an amazing time with Celestina. I felt we set her quite a challenge, but she wouldn’t accept our limitations and made each session a joy. We both feel more confident and will definitely be displaying our new found skills on a dance floor some time soon. Thanks, Celestina for a truly brilliant experience loaded with professionalism on your part, but you also managed to make every session fun."

Book Your Sessions
Private 1-to-1 sessions offer a space to deepen your relationship with movement, rhythm and confidence in your own body. Whether you are returning to dance, exploring movement for the first time, or looking to refine your expression, sessions are shaped around you.
Most people choose to work with me over a series of sessions so that real growth and embodiment can take place. Packages are available in 4, 6, 10 sessions or more, depending on how deeply you’d like to go into the process.
In-person sessions take place in the UK and include the hourly teaching fee plus studio hire, which varies depending on the location.
For those who prefer to move from home, or who live elsewhere in the world, sessions are also available online via Zoom, offering the same focused guidance without the need to travel.
If the work resonates with you, get in touch to discuss the best option for your needs and to book your session package.
