Where Discipline Meets Artistry
Private ballet and contemporary dance lessons with internationally trained teachers. For adults, children, and teens of all levels, in West London studios or at your home.
Where Movement Becomes Expression
Contemporary Dance Method blends the rigour of classical ballet with the creative freedom of contemporary dance. Founded by Sarah Hirsch — a performer with credits at the Royal Opera House, English National Ballet, and Edinburgh Fringe — our approach is built on a simple belief: dance should be joyful, personal, and transformative.
Every lesson is tailored to you. Whether you're stepping into a studio for the first time or preparing for a professional audition, our internationally trained teachers meet you exactly where you are.

“Sarah is an incredible teacher who pushes you to try your best and work hard while making the lessons so fun. She has encouraged me to try different styles and I have improved greatly in each, while also having a lot of fun. Each lesson is a challenge which makes them so enjoyable and they are never boring!”
“I’ve been dancing with Sarah for about one year now and I can say her lessons are my weekly body therapy. I am learning the art of letting go and being more in tune with my body. I can notice the difference from the beginning where I was quite rigid and overthinking my every step, to the present moment where I am more relaxed and free in my movements.”
“Sarah is amazing — from the moment we made initial contact to how she worked with my daughter on contemporary choreography. Her teaching skills are fantastic, working with positivity to get the best out of the dancer. She shines a light of happiness through her love of dance — and that is priceless.”
