  • A magical first step into the world of dance, Mouse and Mouselings is specially designed for little ones aged 18 months and over, accompanied by a parent or caregiver.

    This gentle class introduces early ballet through storytelling, music, and imaginative adventures. Strongly rooted in the foundations of classical ballet technique, our classes are thoughtfully designed to nurture not only physical development, but also imagination, bravery, creativity and kindness.

    We place the utmost importance on creativity, make-believe and magic, aiming to spark each child’s imagination so it knows no limits. Every session is a unique journey—combining storytelling, adventure, movement and exploration—as we transport children beyond the everyday into a world of awe and wonder.

    Throughout the class, children will begin to develop:

    • Basic motor skills and coordination

    • Musicality and sense of rhythm

    • Listening and following simple instructions

    • Balance and spatial awareness

    • Hand dexterity and expressive movement

    Alongside these physical skills, we have also witnessed strong cognitive and emotional development in our young dancers.

    Each session offers a joyful and engaging introduction to dance, providing the perfect foundation for ballet and progression through our classes.

  • Building on the foundations of Mouse and Mouselings, Mouseling Ballet introduces young dancers to greater independence and more challenging motor skills. Designed to develop balance, coordination, and control, this class prepares students for the Pre-Primary Ballet syllabus while continuing to nurture imagination and creativity.

    With a longer class length of 45 minutes, children also develop concentration, focus, and physical endurance, all within a supportive and joyful environment.

    Class benefits include:

    • Advanced motor skills and coordination

    • Improved balance and body awareness

    • Musicality, rhythm, and listening skills

    • Cognitive and emotional growth through structured dance

    • Preparation for Pre-Primary Ballet progression

    A fun, magical, and structured introduction to more formal ballet, Mouseling Ballet provides the perfect bridge from early movement play to confident young dancers.

  • Mice Ballet is the next step in your child’s ballet journey, designed for children in Reception through Year 1. This class builds on the skills developed in Mouseling Ballet, focusing on increased precision, technique, and confidence, and prepares students for their first Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Pre-Primary examination.

    Through structured classes, young dancers refine:

    • Balance, coordination, and posture

    • Musicality and rhythm

    • Control, focus, and spatial awareness

    • Core ballet techniques aligned with RAD standards

    Classes provide a supportive and encouraging environment where imagination and creativity continue to flourish, while children develop the discipline and concentration needed for formal ballet training.

    Mice Ballet is the perfect bridge between early dance experiences and formal examination preparation, helping children take their first steps toward becoming confident, skilled dancers.

  • Our RAD Training Classes provide structured, progressive training for students from Primary through Advanced 2, with fully qualified teachers experienced in preparing dancers for Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) examinations.

    Focusing on a solid classical ballet foundation, classes develop strong technique, precision, and expressive performance while nurturing each student’s individual potential. Training includes:

    • Classical technique and alignment

    • Musicality and rhythmic awareness

    • Free movement and expressive performance

    • Pointe work for advanced students

    • Character dance and performance skills

    • Professional conduct, focus, and discipline

    We aim for the highest results in examinations while fostering confidence, poise, and a lifelong love of dance. Every class builds the skills, strength, and refinement needed for formal ballet success and progression through RAD syllabi.

  • Adult Ballet is a welcoming class designed for all adults, whether you’re returning to dance, starting for the first time, or looking to maintain fitness and flexibility. This general ability class combines barre and centre work, helping to develop strength, balance, coordination, and grace.

    Each session is fresh and dynamic, with exercises that change weekly to keep classes engaging and varied. Classes are delivered in a supportive environment, allowing an hour to switch off from daily life stress and focus on movement and overall well-being, while improving classical ballet technique.

    Enjoy the joy of dance, challenge your body, and explore the fundamentals of ballet at your own pace in a friendly adult-focused setting.

  • Strength & Stretch is a ballet-based fitness class designed to enhance strength, flexibility, and overall movement quality. Suitable for students aged 11 and up, this approach goes beyond traditional Pilates, yoga, or PBT methods, delivering noticeable results for all levels.

    Our tried-and-tested training style:

    • Builds strength and promotes lean, sculpted muscles

    • Improves fluency of movement, body awareness, and classical ballet qualities

    • Supports injury prevention and long-term physical resilience

    • Offers versatile exercises, targeting specific areas like core, back, or arms, or providing full-body conditioning

    • Keeps classes varied to maintain engagement, challenge, and progression

    Whether you’re a vocational student aiming to enhance performance or an adult seeking graceful, functional fitness, Strength & Stretch offers a dynamic, effective, and enjoyable approach to body conditioning rooted in classical ballet technique.

  • Ballet and Fitness in person and online coaching available for children and adults. Royal Academy of Dance exam coaching for all grades is also available.

What people say

“Sophie is an exceptional ballet teacher who we have had the privilege to know for the last 8 years. She started teaching my eldest daughter when she was 2 in 2015. Today, my two younger daughters and myself also take classes with her.  We can all confirm that she is absolutely brilliant with every age and very professional. She is the main reason why we all still do ballet. Her kindness and calm demeanour create an environment of pure inspiration. Her gentle guidance and patient approach not only improved our skills but also instilled a deep love for the art form. She is a real child whisperer.

The class for adults is the absolute highlight of my week. It is suitable for every level and it teaches classical ballet techniques with a lot of stretching accompanied by live piano music. It is a beautiful escape from the daily routine and it challenges the body in a nice way”

— Mum of a mouseling

Sophie is a remarkable teacher. Everyone who enters her class feels at ease, supported and respected, regardless of their age or ability. She creates a total safe space for everyone to enjoy their dancing and her classes are a pleasure to be in. As an adult, it is an hour of pure escapism each week and I could never recommend it enough. She has brought my love of being in a studio back and I am indebted to her for that. Her talent and knowledge is inspirational and her teaching approach is next to none; insightful, nurturing and patient. As for her children’s classes, she creates pure magic. Her imagination and creativity, alongside her natural warmness and maternalistic qualities get the best out of every child.

— Adult student

I studied ballet throughout my childhood and am over the moon that I can continue as an adult in Sophie’s adult class. It is my favourite hour of the week. The magic of the class is that it suits complete beginners as well as myself who spent years at the ballet barre. My 6 year old daughter is also a student of Sophie. It is lovely to see how her confidence has grown since joining Sophie’s class. We are both so lucky to have Sophie as a teacher. 

— Mum of a mouseling

Sophie has been teaching my daughter classical ballet for 10 years. To say she is an excellent teacher is to diminish what she has been to our daughter and family. Sophie is both an excellent teacher and a source of support and enduring encouragement. She has dedicated her time whether it be weekends, weeknights or holiday periods to the girls so that they may realise their own ballet dreams.

During covid I started seeing Sophie for my own personal fitness and have continued to see her ever since. If you’re prepared to do the work you will see results. She won’t cut corners and, importantly, she listens. I cant recommend Sophie as a trusted and dedicated teacher highly enough. Every child with a yearning to learn ballet should be lucky enough to have a teacher like Sophie

Miss Sophie - the magician! She is the kindest, most patient and most inspiring ballet teacher one could hope for. Adults, children, whoever you are, flow with Sophie and you will fall in love with the grandeur and delicacy of Ballet. She makes every lift of the arm and fall of the leg magical, graceful, strong and one to aspire to! Thank you Sophie, for being the treasure and inspiration that you are to me.
