Developing Dancers Melbourne - Classical Ballet School

I’m so grateful to have met Miss Kate as my first ballet teacher, and today she is still my teacher. She guided me and opened up the world of ballet to me in my life . I came to her when I was 14, with no clue what classical ballet was and could barely speak any English. She didn’t give up on me, instead she dug out the strong points in me and taught me step by step from the very basic patiently. She believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself. I received the very pure training in both Vaganova Russian ballet and the character dance from Miss Kate, also with her own floor barre exercises and Pilates exercises, I was able to improve day by day. Miss Kate is strict in class because she knows how hard it is to become a professional dancer, but she also cares so much about all her students. She gave me so much support in not only ballet but also my life, she’s always there whenever I need her. I also went to Quebec for further ballet training under the direction of Miss Kate. I couldn’t have done all of these or been who I am now without her help and I’m truely thankful for everything.

I trained with Kate for several years. Her attention to detail, emphasis on technique, and dedication are second to none. Kate's track record in helping students to achieve amazing results speaks for itself. If you want to learn from the best classical ballet teacher in Melbourne, see Kate.

Kate is an exceptional ballet teacher and person, for whom I have the utmost reverence. Her outstanding ability to train and guide each individual student, while developing stunning technique and individual artistry from a young age to pre-professional standard is beautiful to witness. She commands excellence of her students, and provides them with the tools and motivation in return, to demand excellence of themselves. Kate's formative and ongoing ballet training in highly regarded schools in Australia and abroad is evident in her expertise of developing dancers to their highest potential. The mutual respect and care between Kate and her students is evident in the studio, on stage and in all aspects of their development as a dancer and as an individual person. Kate truely caters for the whole dancer, guiding them in so many ways beyond technique to provide them with the necessary skills and knowledge to make it as a professional dancer. It is testament to Kate that she has had many students as finalists in the worlds biggest youth ballet competitions and many students currently training at the most sought out pre-professional finishing schools in Australia, the Americas, Europe and Asia. If you are looking to take your Ballet to the next level" I highly recommend training with Kate. You won't look back! You'll develop as a dancer beyond your expectations and in turn find one of the kindest

I am so thankful that I’ve had the opportunity to train with Miss Kate. She is an outstanding ballet teacher, her dedication and attention to detail is like no other. She enables her students to reach their full potential by providing her technical expertise as well as all the necessary knowledge and skills of the industry. Without her meticulous teaching I would have never been able to achieve what I have so far. After training with Miss Kate for a little over 2 years I have been able to reach one of my biggest dreams and now I am privileged enough to train at the European School of Ballet in Amsterdam. Miss Kate helped improve not only my technique but also the artist qualities to take my dancing to the next level. I am so grateful for Miss Kate’s coaching and could not recommend her more!

Kate Reilly is an amazing ballet teacher. I started dancing with her when I was 13 with no technique whatsoever. She helped me achieve so much during my ballet and I was even fortunate enough to go to New York and Germany with my ballet. I wouldn’t of got as far as I did with out the lessons and all the support I got from Kate!

Beautiful person, amazing teacher!
