About the Studio
Looking for a sign to do something for YOU? This is your sign!
Ballet is not only for girlies in school or professional dancers who have made a career out of ballet. Ballet is for the working mom, the career woman, the full-time mom, the university student or the young working professional who is looking for:
- 🩰 an escape from stress
- 🩰 an outlet
- 🩰 some me-time
- 🩰 a different way to move your body than hitting the gym
- 🩰 or a community of like-minded women
Adult Ballet Benefits:
Improves flexibility & posture
Ballet requires a lot of stretching and movement, which helps to increase flexibility and improve posture. This can help prevent injuries and reduce pain in the back and joints.
Enhances physical & mental well-being
Helps to boost physical and mental health. It can increase cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and tone, and promotes relaxation and mindfulness.
Develops coordination & balance
Ballet requires a great deal of coordination and balance, which can improve over time with regular practice. This can help to prevent falls and improve overall body control.
Provides a creative outlet
This artistic expression is a great way to express yourself creatively. Whether you’re performing or simply enjoying the movements, ballet is fulfilling and lots of fun!
Fosters a sense of community
Adult ballet classes provide an opportunity to meet like-minded people who share a passion for dance, providing a supportive and encouraging environment to learn and grow as a dancer.
Hi! I’m Debbie!
My name is Debbie Groenewald and I was one of those ladies who danced many years ago and stopped at 18. I always felt something was missing! At age 31 I returned to the ballet studio and made a comeback. I never expected to be teaching my own students but believed that if I had the desire to dance, there were others.
I qualified as a DASA (Dance Academy of South Africa) teacher in 2012 – top of my class and the oldest. This was also the year that Les Danseuses was born.
Apart from my passion for ballet, I am a wife and a mother to 2 daughters.
