I’ve been really enjoying moving again! I hate the gym and all of that.. so to get back to dancing is fab! Love the way you both work and can’t wait to get back!

2ballerinas represents an amazing opportunity for all ages (‘not so young’ in my case) to participate in excellent dance classes with very talented teachers.  As an older male dancer, it is difficult to find a suitable studio to attend where one doesn’t feel somewhat out of place. All of the teachers and students at 2ballerinas were very welcoming and I feel at ease whenever I visit.  It is a wonderful learning experience.

2ballerinas is a blessing in a crazy world. And a relatively inexpensive one. The teachers are warm, relaxed and skilled and there is a real sense of community in every class.
Because there are several classes for every level each week, you can always manage to get to one of them – or more if you get hooked… Even during lock-down there were online and Zoom classes available. Escapism at its best!

Wendy Cuvet

Thank you for a wonderful class last night, I had a wonderful time. While it’s been ages since I’ve actually done any ballet, it came back quicker than I expected, looking forward to next week’s class.

Discovering 2ballerinas has brought dance back into my life for which I am very grateful. Each time I finish a class I look forward to the next one. I have even embraced learning a new dance style I absolutely love, thanks to all the wonderful opportunities that this dance school provides. I could not recommend 2ballerinas more highly.

I felt the class flowed well, and the routines were both a physical and mental workout.

Ballet is perfect for those over 60. I love coming to ballet class. It’s my special time to do something that’s creative, spiritual, meaningful and fun. I plan to challenge my body and brain well into my old age. I just wish I hadn’t waited so long. So, if you’re thinking about starting ballet, please don’t be afraid to come along, whatever your age or level – you’ll really enjoy it!

Sharyn McIntyre

It had been 32 years since I danced ballet, and I just loved the class yesterday. Took me back to my youth, my creativity and I felt really great. I wasn’t embarrassed to let myself go a bit and feel the ballet in me again.

Kathryn Walker

They provide such an amazing space for us dance lovers to find our happy place. The teachers are amazing and encouraging for all students. I am 64 and have been dancing since I was a kid and still love it… even if I’m not as good as I used to be. The beauty is; no one judges and I always feel so happy being here!

Finally at 66 I have found the perfect dance studio for all ages and dance abilities. Professional caring teachers, teaching adults.
If you have danced a little, danced a lot or not at all this is the place for you.
