Voice of The Students
​Never too late
"I started as a complete beginner at 45. Daisuke and the team make you feel so welcome. It’s not just about the steps; it's about the confidence. If you think you’re too old, you aren't!" — Sarah J.
​
The perfect pace
"I was so nervous for my first Foundation class, but Alisha is incredible. Everything is explained clearly, and the atmosphere is so supportive. It’s become the highlight of my week." — Emma L.
​
Mindfulness in movement
"I joined the Beginner course for fitness, but I stayed because of how much it helped my mental health. It’s an hour where you can't think of anything else but the music and your movement." — Marta R.
​
Pointe Course
​
Safety and strength first
"The attention to detail in the Pointe prep sessions is outstanding. Daisuke ensures your ankles and core are strong enough before you even think about shoes. I felt so safe transitioning to pointe here." — Rebecca T.
A childhood dream realized
"I never got to do pointe as a kid. Doing it now in my 30s with Adult Ballet Wales is a dream come true. The technical feedback is precise and professional." — Ceri H.
​
Workshop
​
Magical holiday intensives
"The 'Kingdom of Sweets' workshop was magical! 3 hours of pure bliss. It felt like being part of a real company. The tutu tradition is such a lovely touch." — Bethan W.
​
Technical breakthroughs
"The Pirouette workshop changed everything for me. Breaking down the physics of the turn helped it finally 'click.' These intensives are worth every penny." — David M.
​
Community spirit
"The workshop series is brilliant. You really get to know the other dancers and see everyone progress together. It’s a proper ballet family." — Sian D.
​
1:1 Private Lessons
​
Tailored to my needs
"Having a private lesson with Daisuke helped me work through my hypermobility issues. He tailored the exercises to keep my joints safe while still pushing my technique. Highly recommend!" — Abigail S.
Confidence booster
"I was too shy for a group class at first. Two months of 1:1s gave me the posture and the confidence to finally join the Level 2 sessions. Best investment I’ve made." — Juliet N.
