Elancé Adult Ballet School

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.

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!Kate Dobson (officially a dancer!) x

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.

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.
