The class was so much fun. It's perfect for those who already taking classes for some time. Challenging but not intimidating. Absolutely doable. Really love the variation and the way Gee teaches the class. Highly recommended.

The class was amazing!! Barre was a bit challenging with different tempos, but the teacher clearly instructed 'how to use the right muscle', and combined the exercises at the centre choreography. Everyone was at different level, but the teacher showed different versions so that everyone enjoys the same music and dances together. She is also very inclusive and friendly, so I definitely recommend this class to someone who is looking for a ballet class, where you can feel welcomed. She believes that everyone can achieve their maximum if they work on the right ballet muscle, so never feel bad about yourself that you never had a chance to learn ballet when you were young, but come to the class and follow the teacher's workout method! She is strict (but not too much), so there must be a gain from this class.

An great class for ballet. I felt very welcome in my first class, and while struggling a little bit with the more advanced moves I still felt like I learned something after just one class. Gee-Gee is a great teacher, and I will definitly come back.

I really enjoyed my class with Gee Gee. She is a great teacher and made the lesson really fun and easy to follow. I have been going on a weekly basis and there is always a great mix of people of all abilities who are made to feel welcome and given the correct level of support/guidance based on their ability. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants to have a go at Ballet

I was nervous attending my first adult ballet class as a complete beginner but this class had a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where I was able to learn and meet others at the same level as me. The teacher was professional and had a great technique but also approachable and encouraging. I will be returning to this class and recommend this to others. This has really sparked my interest in ballet further and helped me feel more confident that it is something I can pursue even as an adult.

London Ballet Classes are really fun and inclusive, with the focus being on the enjoyment of dance. The teacher was herself an adult beginner years ago, and therefore really understands both how to teach technique to beginners, but also the importance of encouraging individual artistry and enjoyment. The choreography and music is really beautiful. What’s also unique and clever is that the barre and centre work throughout a class is all choreographed with a particular classical variation in mind, and the last portion of the class involves putting together the steps and learning the full variation. I know of no other classes in London that offer this.

The teacher was incredible. The venue was perfect for the class size. The class was unique and a lot of fun.
Franz Richter - 18 November 2018
I greatly enjoyed this ballet class, particularly due to the teacher’s good instruction. She breaks down the common mistakes of each move (for example the placement of your weight), which leads to a fast improvement, as well as give every student specific tips. Definitely one of the best ballet class in London!

I really enjoyed the class, the instructor was very attentive and professional. The class was a little harder than I expected for a beginners class but I think it is better that way as i got a better work out and in the long run will help speed up progress - totally recommend going to this regularly.
