The Mornington Peninsula’s Only Adult Ballet Atelier

Ballet training for adults seeking depth, structure, and progression. We welcome adult dancers of any age, shape, or experience who bring curiosity, commitment, and self-awareness.

This is not a drop-in studio. It is an intentional, curated program designed for those seeking disciplined, consistent training.

Designed for progression.

  • Small, consistent groups

  • Structured curriculum

  • Technical development over time

  • A quieter, more focused environment

You do not need prior ballet experience.

Many students begin as complete beginners.

This is a membership-based program. We work with a small number of dedicated adult students. By application and placement only. Students commit to a consistent weekly schedule, allowing for continuity, progress, and group cohesion.

1)Book a personal phone consultation. A short, considered first step to ensure the program is the right fit for you.

2)Attend assessment class. Experience the environment and teaching approach.

3)Receive placement. If aligned, you’ll be offered a position in a suitable group.
