Jo Hoffberg is available for
Virtual Private Lessons and Video Reviews
All too often Jo has heard that students would love more personalized feedback, but it’s hard to come by as International Instructors aren’t in town often enough or were too busy for privates while at events.
Well good news! There’s a technological solution to that problem: Online Lessons!

Here’s how to make a video that best sets me up to give you feedback.
- Ideally, you will be in a well-lit dance studio and film yourself from straight-on as that’s the easiest way for me to see you and your body movement.
- Film yourself either: social dancing, rehearsing a routine, performing a routine, practicing a jazz step, throwing an aerial, or asking a question and then send it to me (via Dropbox, unlisted on Youtube, Google Drive, etc.).
- If there is something, in particular, you’d like feedback on, please let me know, otherwise, I’ll download your video, record a voice-over of what I see, recommend how to make improvements, and send it back to you.
Jo is currently focused on working with students who:
- Don’t want to regress in their dancing during the next few months
- Want to improve their solo movement and are feeling stuck
- Desire accountability
- Couples training for future competitions
- Dancers working on creating or polishing choreography
- iLindy users interested in checking in on their progress
