Adult Ballet for all levels
"Life without ballet would be Pointeless.” @iSpeakBallet Twitter post
Ballet classes for adults of all levels. Current students are a mixture of absolute beginners, those who did ballet classes as children and experienced dancers. The beauty of ballet is that each person can work to their own ability within the same class and the teacher always offers varying levels of difficulty to choose from.
