Do you want to be ballet inspired ?
Do you enjoy dancing?

I am a former professional dancer and I teach ballet inspired classes and mindful movement to adults 30’s plus. I take the most accessible and beneficial exercises from ballet technique to create classes that enable students to discover how grace and strength can be achieved through dance.

No matter what size, ability, identity or talent, I warmly invite you to discover and embody your inner ballerina. Whether you are a complete beginner to ballet, danced as a child or an accomplished dancer; I tailor exercises to meet your level of experience. Current students frequently surprise themselves by what they achieve within a six or seven week term.

I provide an encouraging and enabling environment for any budding adult ballerina to learn new skills or expand upon current dance knowledge. Classes are small to enable every student to receive the attention they deserve and enable steady progress. 

In addition, I facilitate mindful movement programmes to support, connect and realign the mind, body and spirit. 

Classes available in studio’s in Hove, East Sussex.

My vision is to share my passion for dance.

I believe dance provides an ideal opportunity to connect mind and body, enabling people to return to a flow state and ground themselves in the present moment.

Dance, singing and creativity have always brought me tremendous fulfilment.

I danced professionally with the Northern Ballet Theatre and also performed in lead roles in West End musicals, National Tours and Fringe Theatre. Growing up I received a vocational education at the Arts Educational School and The Central School of Ballet.

Additionally I am a qualified Montessori Teacher and Child Counsellor. I have a fascination regarding barriers to learning,  supporting emotional well-being and the mind, body connection.

Some of the feedback I've received

Best decision I’ve made in a while. Despite being a ballet novice it’s been brilliant. Katie is extremely patient and describes each move perfectly. It’s a fabulous class which I look forward to every week.
KC
I love it! Your class is brilliant… I absolutely love it. Great routine.
CS
Thank you so much for carrying on with the classes through Lockdown, Katie... I think I would have gone mad without my weekly fix. It's been brilliant.
ED
I loved it, the whole style, moon visualization and dancing with the moon. I also liked the embodiment aspect, moving the body freely, I thought it was so empowering... Really made me think how movement is so important to move through these current times.

Thank you, Katie, a really powerful workout. I feel internally rested and energised at the same time.
BJ
Katie’s lessons are ideal to keep fit and flexible while also having fun! Katie is a lovely caring teacher, always checking that her students are applying poses and moves correctly and comfortably, always with a warming smile on her face.
JA
What a fun way to do a workout. Thanks to Katie’s positive, uplifting class we all felt like ballerina’s, toned, graceful and beautiful. Loved it!
GKC
It was interesting to combine dance & connecting to the moon energy, a new experience for me that I'd like to explore further for sure!  I always get that feel good feeling after dancing with Katie & with a large group of ladies made it fun. Looking forward to dancing with you & the moon again!

It’s great fun and gives you a real workout with lots of ballerina moments. Katie is so upbeat, positive and patient and I’ve learnt loads over this term.
JF
Katie, I loved it! Your enthusiasm is infectious. I am so pleased to be back-it's soul food.
SL
Tonight's class really energized me after work. Monday is now my favourite day of the week!
JC
I can't wait for next Friday-love the routine, very inspirational, and also love your approach of building it up gradually.
MW
A wonderfully inclusive and entertaining place to get fit. I wasn't sure how a middle-aged male non-dancer would be met, but I have been welcomed into the fold. Not only am I getting fit and stretching out some long-forgotten muscles, but I am part of a really friendly bunch of likeminded souls. Katie provides the perfect combination of getting us to think and work hard, but also relax and look at the way we are moving... I would recommend a taster in a heartbeat. You've got nothing at all to lose, and a hell of a lot to gain!
