Secrets of Solo Reviews 56

Comprehensive and organized program. Most importantly, a great supportive community where dancers push each other and share their takes on the solo lessons. So much amazing content here; you can push yourself at any level.

Secrets of Solo is a wonderful online school. Well organised and numbers of contents. Highly recommendable for all those dancers who are looking for training at home or at the studio, seeking for inspiration and ways to improve their own dance expression and technique. Ksenia is an unique teacher and great dancer.

I absolutely loved Ksenia's solo jazz dance courses and highly recommend them. The curriculum is well-structured with the beginner in mind, but they also have lessons to challenge the very experienced as well. I had only ever taken partner dance courses and I found the fundamentals course to be just the right level for me, but I also dabbled in the Charleston course. The video production is excellent and Ksenia's joy for dancing is contagious!

Secrets of Solo takes you into a world of continual discovery!

I recently took Ksenia's online feedback programme. She started by asking us what our goals and expectations were, and asked us to submit a video of ourselves dancing. Then she made each of us a personalised practice plan for two weeks and sent us a video with feedback from her on our dancing. This went on for two months and we also had a one-to-one Zoom call with Ksenia as well as a final group call to draw the programme to an end.

Ksenia is among the best Jazz Solo dancers of our times and yet as a teacher she is very humble and kind. She puts herself in your shoes (literally!), whatever your level is. If you are struggling with a step, she always manages to get to the root of the problem and show you a simple way of improving. She is also genuine in her encouragement when you do well. Ksenia transmits so much joy, creativity and enthusiasm, it is contagious - I just look at her and I want to dance!

The feedback program enabled me to make an important leap forward in my dance. Improvising is now part of my daily routine. I am more comfortable dancing to faster tempos. I still have a long way to go but I now know exactly what I need to do on a daily and weekly basis to keep exploring and enjoying planet jazz! I couldn't recommend Secrets of Solo enough, thank you Ksenia!

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.
For the last 2 months I’d taken part in an amazing course “Feedback & Coaching”. It was one of the most creative, stimulate and intensive journey 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 and consequently also the feedbacks. I felt followed at any moment.
She is a great and inspiring teacher who loves to share her passion for dance with the students.

I was lucky enough to be able to take the Feedback & Coaching Programme with Ksenia. I have had a subscription to Secrets of Solo and I’ve learned a lot through it but I jumped at the opportunity to get one on one feedback from Ksenia. It was completely worth it. I can honestly say that I had revelations about my dancing.
Ksenia is so generous with her time and her feedback. It was hard work but so much fun. I recommend Ksenia and her Secrets of Solo and the Feedback & Coaching Programme to all dancers. Everyone will get something important and revelatory from it.

Wow... What an amazing experience that was taking online classes with Ksenia. I learned so much in so little time thanks to her very focused keen eyes, full attention and excellent personalized feedback to what I have been doing in every move and how to improve it. Her two month long online course was a lot more valuable compared to in person group classes even private classes I had taken in the past. She has a very well crafted program. I highly recommend her to anyone at any level who would like to learn solo jazz or improve dancing skills.

I began this program full of questions, unhappy about my dancing, but also a lot of hope. Ksenia’s personalized Feedback&Coaching program helped me so much with gaining confidence and helped me grow as a dancer. I was thrilled with the training sessions, which were very well adapted to my weaknesses and to what I wanted to work on. I especially enjoyed the feedbacks on videos. During the whole program Ksenia was very kind, sweet and dedicated and I thank her so much for everything she taught me as well as the time she put into it. I would definitely recommend this Feedback&Coaching program and do it again in the future !

Completely beginner in dancing, the class helped me lay down and understand the fundamentals. So now I have a much better foundation too build upon!
Ksenia is very sweet and talented, definetly recommend her as a teacher.

Hi Ksenia

I’m late to send you a video testimonials about my experience, anyway, I can’t do it because I don’t speak English well. I’m going to try to write down about it. I hope it help you. For me, it is a good opportunity to remember how much I learnt at this amazing feedback program.
Firstly, it opened my eyes about how I have to dance jazz-swing music. Learning to heard and following the structure of the song. Now, improvisation is rather easier. Besides, I learnt to dance with whole my body and feel the floor under my feet. I enjoyed a lot of that special feedback program. I regretted not taking full advantage of the program. I spent too much time taking the decision to send my first video. don’t do that. You should take advantage from this amazing opportunity. The process to choose the music, the main idea to get feedback, recording your dance many time until you feel a little bit proud of it, it’s tough but very interesting. Finally, the feedback from Ksenia arrive, you know that she has been watching your video and she is going to give you the better advice to get better results. That was not the end, it was just the beginning of a new way to dance. When I finished the program I felt proud of myself and it give to me security and power on my dance. I recommend that program to everyone who wants to grow at this incredible dance style.

This is my opinion about feedback program. It was really useful for me. Thank you ksenia. I’m really sorry, I can’t record a video.

I hope to see you soon
Yours kindly

I have never thought, I would be so excited learning from an online class, especially a dance one that requires a presence and a whole atmosphere.
I finally could understand the basics, how to count, how to understand music... Very detailed content, loaded with fun and Ksenish vibes.

PS: I normally skip reviewing and giving online feedbacks xD but with this one, I felt it was a must.

Ksenish (adj.) = energetic, exciting, and exquisite.

Mille mercis pour l'effort !!

What a great experience! Thank you so much Ksenia, you are a sunshine and make my days beautiful with your energy and positivity. It's a pleasure to go from one lesson to another guided by a great teacher and music. I definitely see the progress.

This is an excellent course! Everything is explained really well, there are lots of steps and variations to be learned. Ksenia is an excellent teacher and she has a lot of positive energy! She shows you lots of tips, tricks, and secrets to make your dancing look really good! The quality of the videos is great! Warm recommendations for this course.

I am a hobby musician and my guitar teacher recommended I should start dancing to practice rhythm. I hate dancing!!! So I thought. But then I discovered swing and found these absolutely wonderful courses by Ksenia. Pure fun in an absolutely professional way. I have finished the first part of the beginner's course and I am looking forward to my summer holidays which will be filled with much more of it. The videos are perfect, sound and music are very motivating and the explanations couldn't be better. And after 1 year of Corona-laziness it's the best way imaginable to get some physical exercise. I will never be a dancer, but these courses are improving my rhythm, my ability to move with the music and they are abolutely motivating even after a long and hard day to just choose a great swing song on youtube (the playlist is a great help) and to do just a couple of minutes of swing dance. After that you've forgotten all the day's trouble and your mood has been lifted. I even caught myself listening to a swing song in the supermarket, and starting some steps before I noticed the expression on some people's faces around me. More than I ever expected! Thank you so much!

I was always very sceptical about learning to dance using online materials, but Ksenia's lessons are very detailed, well thought and built, so I feel that solo jazz has become accessible to me. I think she feels by intuition how many times to repeat some stuff to be accessible for the learner, her videos have a high level of practicality which I describe as top quality. I am now hesitating to continue with Secrets of Improvisation or Charleston. Thank you, Ksenia, it is amazing! ;)

Ksenia is a multitalented, amazing teacher with sharp, kind and helpful personality!
She is unique and opens for her students a brand new world, with her entirely new perspective on dance.
Highly re commented for regular classes and any kind of jazz workshop!

When deciding to purchase a dance course online, everyone has the same doubt - will I be able to learn as well as in person? The answer, for me that tried both, is YES and even better than in person! Ksenia’s videos are so perfect in explanation, she uses simple metaphors that make the steps clearly understandable. Plus the white background makes you really focus on the movements and she has always so many tips and tricks to share. I also participated in the Sunday live sessions of zoom and I love how she structures them around a singular move and helping us to get out of the scheme and experiment and be spontaneous as we should be in jazz! I highly recommend her course for every level (I started from zero!)

Ksenia is great Dancer, great Teacher... What's else?... also a great singer... She is a complete Artist!

I have been part of the Secrets of Solo Online School for 9 months now and I totally recommended to dancers of all levels (beginners and advanced). I have been dancing before for more than 10 years and I have noticed a great improvement since joining Ksenia’s online dance school thanks to her detailed video explanations, methodology and her feedback. Furthermore the content of the online school is very varied and you have such a great time while learning. My best investment of 2020 ;)

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!
I think that the online school Secrets of Solo by Ksenia is doing really great for me for a lot of reasons and you must try this if you enjoy dancing!
Ksenia put a lot of effort in every detail of every video and follow you step by step.
The website is very easy to use and to learn little by little and there is tons of cool material that you could go through.
Ksenia's school will help you becoming a better dancer and I'm sure that you will never regret starting this wonderful journey for yourself!
