Welcome!
Welcome to my home studio — a space that combines the best of both worlds: professional studio-quality training delivered in a setting defined by the care, individual attention and flexibility of a home. My unique offering is the exceptional level of individual attention I’m able to provide each student through my small-group class model, while still creating a supportive, peer-motivated training environment — something many parents have found difficult to access in regular group acro classes. Similarly, my class package model (as opposed to fixed terms) allows each client greater flexibility to fit training around their busy lives, commitments, and holidays without the added stress of forfeited class fees, missed classes or falling behind.
I teach acrobatics because I genuinely love sharing my passion with young students in a fun, safe, and uplifting environment. My goal is to help each child build confidence and develop both physical and mental skills with lifelong benefits including flexibility, strength, coordination, grit, perseverance, creativity, discipline and resilience. Acrobatics enabled me to develop a strong body and mind from an early age and it fulfils me to share this sport and creative art with others.
What makes this studio unique is that every aspect has been designed and adapted with my clients' lifestyle, challenges and needs at the forefront of my mind. This principle underpins my key differentiators, which you can read about below.
This home studio is created with a long-term vision. As our community continues to expand, I will draw upon my experience and network to create opportunities for my students, including professional photoshoots and creative projects such as video showreels and short films (see examples under About Ri). These experiences give students the chance to showcase their progress and celebrate their training with a professional product to proudly show for it.
My Unique Differentiators
These small sessions appeal to local parents as they offer several unique advantages compared to larger group classes typically offered at commercial dance studios or gyms.
Highly Personalised Coaching = Quality Training & Better Progress
With sessions capped at just 6 students, every acro class is designed to maximise individual attention. Rather than lost in a crowd, your child will be coached, corrected, and supported at every step. Whilst we have capacity for more, classes are intentionally kept this small so that every student is truly seen and guided in a way that reflects their individual goals and ability, allowing each child to feel safe, supported, and prioritised.
My small-group model also strikes an ideal balance which allows for individualised practice and feedback, while optimising training time by giving students the opportunity to learn by observing peer feedback during moments of active rest.
The outcome is faster, safer progression, all while forming confidence and meaningful connections within a supportive, like-minded group.
Flexible, Stress-Free Scheduling & Pick-ups for Busy Families
Your schedule shouldn’t have to revolve around training—training should fit seamlessly into your life.
At my home studio, flexibility and convenience are built into the experience. With experience taking classes in commercial studios, I’ve intentionally designed my services to bypass common challenges families face—rigid timetables, difficulty getting kids to the studio around work schedules, forfeited fees for missed classes, and rescheduling fees.
Instead, you’ll have the freedom to reschedule reasonably and the option for school pick-ups and drop-offs to make your week run more smoothly.
This means less stress for parents, more consistency for students, and a training experience that works with your lifestyle, not against it.
What this looks like in practice:
-
A fair, penalty-free rescheduling system
Plans change, that’s normal. With 48 hours’ notice, classes can be easily moved to another suitable time, with no extra fees or lost sessions. Please note: repeated instances of last-minute rescheduling without 48 hours notice or reasonable circumstances will not lead to additional fees, but may affect your ability to book future sessions.
-
School pick-ups available
Pick-ups from Forestville Public School are available for after school sessions, helping streamline your day.
Premium, Yet Sustainable Coaching
Highly personalised acro coaching that truly prioritises the growth of every student shouldn’t be out of reach, yet pricing can be inflated throughout the market. Here, I have created a premium and highly-individualised coaching experience that is more sustainable for families.
Private acro lessons typically range from $80–$120 per hour at dance studios and gyms. By offering intimate small group sessions, I ensure that students receive a similar level of individualised coaching at a more accessible rate of $30-50 per hour (small group) – $75 per hour (entirely private). My full pricing details are available here, with reduced rates applicable for self-arranged classes. While it is frequently the case in larger studio classes that less motivated or introverted kids are deprioritised, I make it my priority to ensure every child receives the same individual attention, guidance, and belief that they deserve. I create thought-out training plans for each group, taking into account their personal goals and invest my time and every effort into ensuring each student discovers their full potential.
Parents often find that my small group acrobatics classes (up to 6 students) are equally—if not more—beneficial than private lessons. While 1:1 sessions suit highly driven students, they require strong endurance, focus and can be more intensive if students wish to get the most out of the class. In my small group classes, moments of rest convert efficiently to learning opportunities as students can observe others, absorb corrections, and deepen their understanding while recovering between skill attempts. It is a less intensive, yet equally productive use of training time. Moreover, the small group setting can be more motivating than individual private lessons, particularly for beginners.
As a result, my small group classes offer a more accessible way to receive premium-quality coaching, without compromising on individual attention.
An Enriching Addition to Before & After School Care
Located just minutes from Forestville Public School, classes are designed to fit seamlessly into you and your child’s day.
Students spend their before and after school time actively learning, moving, and building real movement skills (strength, flexibility, coordination etc.) and mental skills (perseverance, resilience, grit, teamwork etc.) — all while having fun and making friends.
With a school pick-up service available, the entire experience is designed to be safe, structured, and stress-free for parents.
Before school - Drop your kid/s off at my studio for a 7:30am-8:30am morning class before school. I may also be able to assist with school/pre-school drop-off for select clients.
After school - To increase your convenience, I offer an additional pick up service from school at 3pm, leaving enough time to walk to the studio and for the kids to have a quick snack before our first class of the afternoon at 3:30pm.
Extra Touches That Make It Special
Beyond training, my studio experience includes thoughtful extras for families to enjoy:
-
Social media communities to share progress, updates, and special moments
-
Premium LED lighting for photos, videos and events
-
Rewards to celebrate milestones and achievements
-
Photoshoot and professional video opportunities
-
Competitions and giveaways
-
Homework challenges to boost student progress
As the community grows, so will these experiences.
Convenience Built In
Sessions take place in a private home studio just a 5 minute walk from Forestville Centre, making attendance particularly simple and time-efficient for families with kids going to local schools and preschools in the Forestville, Frenchs Forest and Killarney Heights area.
Combined with flexible scheduling and school pick-up options, everything is designed to make your weekly routine easier.
No Lock-In Commitments— Just the Experience You Want
Every family is different—and your training experience should reflect that.
Unlike many studios, there are no compulsory uniforms, extra classes, performances, or exams. While such opportunities may be offered as the studio grows, participation will always be on an optional, opt-in basis.
You have the freedom to choose what works best for you, without added pressure or unnecessary commitments.
A Growing Community That Sticks
My studio is not only a place for training, but intended as a second home and community to my clients—where students feel genuinely excited to learn and grow together each week and parents are able to connect with other like-minded families.
A few examples of how our community will connect:
-
Supportive Class Environment: My classes are an easy way for students to make friends, as I set the tone for a supportive and uplifting studio culture. Students are taught to motivate and learn from one another, celebrate each other's progress and bond through partner exercises and tricks.
-
Parent Community: Once group classes form, parents will be added to a community group which will become a primary communication channel for our studio. I will use this as a major channel to communicate with you, gauge your preferences, announce opportunities, encourage submissions for homework challenges, and post footage from class. Parents are welcome to use the space to share any insights and connect with one another on studio related matters.
-
Public Social Platforms: Insights on studio life and student wins will be shared on our social media pages, alongside updates on upcoming events, opportunities (e.g. weekend photoshoots), giveaways, and more. Give our instagram @acrobaticswithri a follow to stay updated.
As our studio expands, I will continue to find new ways for our community to grow and enjoy ourselves through acrobatics and dance.
