Elancé Adult Ballet School

I can only say I’ve been so so lucky to have found Elancé Ballet School. I have attended other ballet schools but Elancé is the only one that is tailor made for adults wishing to pursue their dream of dancing classical ballet in a non professional setting. Kate especially has been so kind and extraordinary in her patience, grace and professionalism. It is a privilege to have her for a teacher. With thanks always Anthula

I could not recommend ballet at Elance high enough!

Five years ago my Mum gifted me a pass to a summer class and I haven't left since.

In those five years, I have seen not only my skills in this beautiful art form grow, but I have developed a greater appreciation for my body, making time for myself and even practising mindfulness through this practise.

As a busy teacher myself, I really appreciate the varied timetable and look forward to flipping the roles every week when I get to be the student in the classroom (studio) of these incredibly talented and gifted teachers.

My greatest thanks Elance!

Elance is more than a ballet school, it is a community. The studio is a beautiful space in which to step out of your comfort zone and push your technique, coordination, musicality and grace with supportive teachers, and plenty of humour. Whether you are a returnee to ballet, completely new, or somewhere in between, there is an Elance class to suit wherever you're at on your ballet journey.

There is so much I love about Elancé School. Beyond the amazingly capable and lovely teachers, it's a place to feel respected, encouraged. You will be pushed to do your best while you're having an incredible time of joy and fun dancing and learning ballet?

I have attended adult ballet classes all along the east coast but I have never experienced anything like Elance. The care with which your progress is monitored, the abundant wisdom of the teachers and the community of caring and inclusion that exists here is truly unbelievable and compells you to return each week.
I was looking for somewhere that would challenge me (as I am a studio ballet teacher myself) and I always leave sweaty, satisfied and smarter than when I walked in. But regardless of your level, I promise you that if you want ballet in your life as an adult, this is the place you're looking for.

I am so excited to provide a review for this ballet school. I am 42, overweight and clumsy and I’m having the best time of my life. I adore the commitment to ballet for All and the stringent following of ballet etiquette - it’s fantastic. Belle teaches my class and she’s so lovely - I have a whopping big women’s crush on her! And Dianne is a gorgeous human!

Absolutely amazing dance school for adults who have always wanted to try ballet. The teachers are wonderful and take the time to patiently explain every step. The classes are for absolute beginners of all sizes and shapes. You work with what your body can do in a very comfortable environment. It is also a wonderful 90 minutes of mindfulness as between what your arms, legs, feet and head are doing in time with the music there is no room in your brain for any other thoughts.
