Blackheath dance
Inclusive adult dance classes in the heart of Blackheath Village. ​
I offer beginner–friendly adult Ballet & Jazz classes in a safe, supportive space.
Maybe you love yoga, want to supplement your regular workout at the gym, or miss the dance classes you enjoyed when you were younger.
Dance has no boundaries – age, gender or fitness level – my courses and classes are welcoming and accessible to all.
​
Conveniently located just one minute from Blackheath station, the light-filled studio at the Quaker Halls is the perfect place to rediscover your passion for dance.
Classes & Courses
Ballet Class
My ballet classes focus on core strength, poise and technique.
I tailor this classic discipline for experienced dancers and new learners alike. ​​​
Jazz Class
I teach the Luigi Jazz technique, a relaxed Musical Theatre style for all levels. It helps to build coordination, fitness and confidence. ​​​
Beginners Courses
6 week introductory courses for all ages - no prior dance experience required! ​Come and learn the basic techniques and principles of either Jazz or Ballet in a fun and friendly environment.
