👋 Meet Shirley 👋

“Enjoying dancing as an adult is a mix of understanding the how, as well as just enjoying the art of moving to music. Finding this balance in my classes — between technique and fun — is what I strive for, helping dancers understand the detail of how to do something so that they can more freely enjoy doing it!”

👋 Meet Seugnet 👋

“I want everyone to dance — who needs to dance — with only the feeling of self-love, self-expression, community and no competition. I created the studio as a safe and sacred space so anyone who enters feels relaxed and excited to move with freedom instead of judgment. Expect inclusivity, great music, to be challenged and fun.”

👋 Meet Sam 👋

“In my classes I focus on the individual ability and growth of each student. I strive on seeing my students grow under my wing. My passion for teaching shines through in my classes as I guide and nurture every student through techniques and movement, creating flow and a feeling of achievement, in a fun-filled and relaxed environment.”

👋 Meet Lee 👋

“I always try to make my body conditioning classes inclusive, fun, challenging, and energising. The human body is magnificent and beautiful and I love to motivate my students by sharing my passion for the way our bodies move. My classes follow the BASI Pilates structure but with a background in ballet, contemporary dance, choreography and theatre, my classes are creative and different every lesson. I adapt to what the students want and need and tailor exercises to support their ballet technique.”

👋 Meet Mia 👋

“The beauty of dance for me is the artistry. In my ballet classes, I encourage the dancers to let go of the perfectionist mindset, just enjoy and really dance! My aim is to remember why we love to dance and give little tips that I use in my career to help them in pursuit of ballet.”

About her classes:

Ballet is a beautiful, legacy technique that provides mental stimulation, physical empowerment, and human connection beyond the borders of spoken language. My passion is showing dancers of all ages how good technique actually means freedom of movement!
