Learning ballet with Louise is so much more than just attending a dance class. She has enriched my life and given me a confidence that I could never have imagined having. She is a brilliant, kind teacher and a lovely person. I never thought I could do this and I absolutely love it!

Ballet is a great exercise and fun to do. It takes your full concentration and all other thoughts disappear. I like the way it tones you in a subtle way and makes you more supple. Louise, our teacher, is very patient and never shouts at us. It makes for a very relaxed and focussed class. Long may it continue! !

A thoroughly enjoyable and inspiring ballet workout that delivers all of the physical benefits of a demanding gym session and none of the monotony. All exercises are beautifully put together and Louise's helpful instruction is first class. An absolute joy from start to finish!...My next class can't come soon enough!

I look forward to my ballet class twice a week, it is my ‘me’ time when I am able to forget everything else, to enjoy some exercise that is musical and gentle. It is the only exercise I’ve ever found that I enjoy as much and actually look forward to doing!

The best form of exercise ever! Super toner and strength developer. Great for all standards and how rewarding to just dance! The music is so inspiring. From one ballet teacher and ex-dancer, Louise is a fabulous teacher who can develop all the exercises from beginners standard to advanced - she's excellent!What would I say about my ladies ballet class? I love it! In fact I said that after my first lesson and have thought it after every lesson over the last 2 years.
I am a typical busy working mum, I really enjoy most sports and I am always listening to music. I have tried virtually every sport, including hockey, netball, tennis etc but none of these achieve the same level of enjoyment as ballet does for me.
I remember when I saw the notice advertising ladies ballet it appealed to me instantly because I could combine exercise with music and dance. Oh my goodness it is so much more than that, it combines physical strength, poise, elegance, balance and co-ordination. It stimulates mind as you have to concentrate on your feet, legs/core, back, shoulders, head, all in different ways and at different times. The hours fly by every week, you quiet literally do not have time to think of anything else, you are concentrating so hard on combining all the skills needed. I love it!

Why Ballet? The graceful movements and classical music enable you to escape from the outside world for an hour. Although I have never done yoga or pilates, I could imagine that ballet has elements of both. Even though I like the gym, I haven't found an enjoyable exercise that keeps my sides firm the way ballet does and focuses on posture. And, it's loads of fun!
