Ballet training, artistic development and performance education

Dance with Mimi

Ballet and dance education for children, young dancers and adults, with an emphasis on technical understanding, artistic expression and individual development.

Teaching that responds to the dancer

Led by professional dancer, choreographer and educator Mimi Yoshii, the teaching approach is responsive rather than syllabus-driven. Each session is shaped by the dancers' abilities, needs and goals, bringing together classical technique, movement understanding, musicality and performance experience.

Whether pursuing professional opportunities or developing a lifelong relationship with dance, students are encouraged to engage with their training seriously and purposefully.
