Student Testimonials

I had several classic ballet classes with Amily and I truly enjoyed them. Amily tailored the classes to my specific need (I’m beginner level), is very patient and has amazing attention to details and lots of useful tips for techniques.

Xian

Amily is a great teacher who takes an individual interest in every student. She creates an inclusive class environment and is great at breaking down the difficult parts of ballet into more digestible bits.

Sonya

Amily was very good at explaining the exercises we were doing. She was patient and did an excellent job of guiding me through the reasoning behind the process.

Raafid

Amily has taught me in a number of small advanced level ballet classes including pointe. She is upbeat, friendly and encouraging, never patronising despite being a stunning dancer herself. She gives excellent feedback that is tailored to each dancer and their needs. I love how she integrates PBT and strength training into her classes to help you identify the right muscles and progress. She’s also a joy to watch herself! She creates interesting and creative enchaînements that are a good length to beautiful music. She is very organised ahead of class whilst adapting it to the dancers in front of her, so you get a lot of content in her classes. I highly recommend taking Amily’s ballet classes.

Kizzie

Amily was very punctual and professional. She delivered the lesson for my daughter with great technic and was able to make her felt comfortable. She gave her tips to improve her practice and valuable advices.

Karina
Parent

Amily is a wonderful teacher I highly recommend her to anyone. She’s positive and uplifting and also a talented dancer. I’ve taken advanced classes with her and her combinations are always so interesting and fun. I think her classes are better than a lot of other drop-in classes I’ve attended. She really cares about her students and has a keen eye for individualized corrections.

Vivian

Amily is a dedicated teacher who always finds creative ways to solve my learning problems and pays close attention to detail.

Stella

I highly recommend my ballet teacher, Miss Amily! She is a RAD-certified instructor with PBT training, and her professionalism and dedication truly set her apart. In her classes, you'll not only learn solid technique, but also experience a healthy and effective training approach tailored to your needs.

She pays meticulous attention to every student’s experience, using patience and enthusiasm to help overcome challenges and unlock your potential. Each lesson is a perfect blend of artistic expression and physical discipline, all within an atmosphere of care and encouragement.
