What Adult Ballet Looks Like:
Kind Words From Our Students
“I’ve absolutely loved reconnecting with dance since joining Ballet Éternel in February. Returning to ballet after decades was daunting but I’ve rediscovered my passion for it. With the mindfulness of it, the meditative quality of the music, the focus on technique, I forget I’m even exercising! It is truly joyous. Nicole and Charlie are so supportive. Highly recommend this to anyone thinking of returning to dance class.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
— Suzanne F“It's never too late to learn ballet! At almost 50, I am absolutely loving Nicole's classes. After a few weeks of lessons, I am already feeling more confident with the technique. I feel more fit and toned - ballet is a great workout! Nicole makes classes fun and it's something I look forward to each week.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -Claire B
“Thrilled to find this gem of an Adult Ballet class right here on our beautiful Mornington Peninsula. It’s wonderfully feminine and such a joy to let my inner child move again. The instruction is incredibly thorough on technique (great for core/posture!) and perfect whether you're brushing up on old skills or starting fresh. A big thank you to the instructor Nicole for the positive, encouraging atmosphere. This class is fantastic—highly recommended!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Having never done ballet, I was unsure how I'd go and what to expect, however I put my doubts aside to join Nicole's beginners adult ballet class. I'm so glad I did! Nicole made me feel at ease with her friendly demeanour and warm encouragement. If youre looking to try something new like me, a different way to move your body, or a mindful practice, I highly recommend giving this class a go!”
