NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Georgia Dostal
I've spent most of my life in ballet — around thirty years at the barre, more than fifteen of them teaching. I'm a trained and qualified Conservatoire of Ballet (Vaganova) teacher and hold the Royal Academy of Dance Diploma in Dance Teaching Studies with Distinction. Ballet has been the through-line of my whole life.
Balanced Ballerinas is what happens when you take that training and build it entirely around adults. I kept meeting people who'd always wanted to dance but were quietly certain ballet wasn't for them — too late, too stiff, too self-conscious. This is my answer to them: real technique, taught for the body and the life you have now, without the intimidation that keeps so many away.
"These classes are amazing! Georgia is so patient and explains things so well, especially for people that haven’t danced before. I’m so grateful to be able to learn ballet as an adult at Balanced Ballerinas. Highly recommend! "
-Â Renae Poole
