What we offer young dancers.
Our quality classical ballet coaching empowers dedicated and talented classical ballet students with the training, knowledge and support to achieve their goals.
Dancers receive personalised tuition and guidance from Kate Reilly, an experienced and caring ballet teacher specialising in the Vaganova method.
Ballet coaching may compliment a dancer’s core curriculum at a quality ballet school, or provide standalone training.

When we meet.
1 x weekly session is perfect to supplement the core curriculum at a quality classical ballet school.
Up to 3 x weekly sessions are best for students not enrolled elsewhere.
Holiday intensives (5-10 daily sessions) allow for rapid improvement in technical understanding and greater gains in muscle strength, offering a valuable opportunity for serious dancers to pull ahead of the crowd, or catch up to their peers. Intensives are also ideal for those who are unable to attend on a weekly basis, for example dancers traveling from regional Victoria or interstate.
During lockdowns we recommended continuing on zoom to maintain progress.
