Our Classes

At Les Danseuses, ballet is for every adult who feels called to move. We offer a variety of class options designed specifically for adult dancers, from Matric (17/18 years) and up, with absolutely no maximum age. If you can move, you can dance, and you belong here.

Adult Ballet

Step into refined classical training designed to meet you where you are. Our Open Class format offers Beginner’s Plus and Advanced levels, with the difference lying in pace and technical depth.

Beginner’s Plus develops and refines vocabulary step by step, while Advanced challenges dancers with broader ballet language and stronger demands. Each two-month cycle focuses on a specific element from pirouettes and allegro to adage or port de bras building strength, control, and artistry with intention.

    Beginner’s Workshops

    Whether you’re brand new to ballet or returning after time away, this 15-week course is designed to rebuild your confidence from the ground up. You’ll learn the essentials of classical ballet – posture, alignment, pliés, tendus, sautés, port de bras, and pirouettes, in classes that are supportive, engaging, and rich in knowledge.

    Your enrolment includes a comprehensive manual, guided home revision classes, and a special welcome gift to support your journey.

      DASA Syllabus

      As a registered member of The Dance Academy of South Africa (DASA), I offer structured syllabus classes for ladies who want to prepare for exams, starting at Grade 5 and progressing into Vocational levels. Even if you choose not to take the exam, these classes provide the rewarding opportunity to refine your technique and master set exercises.

        Pointe Work

        Every young dancer dreams of dancing on their toes, and at our studio, we help make that dream a reality, no matter your age. Classes begin gently, focusing on building the strength, balance, and technique needed for safe and confident pointe work. Step by step, dancers are guided through exercises that develop control, alignment, and elegance, gradually progressing toward full pointe. It’s a rewarding journey that brings the magic of “real” ballerinas to every student, fostering confidence, grace, and a lifelong love of ballet.

          Adult Contemp

          Adult Contemporary is a dynamic dance style that fuses the precision and discipline of classical ballet with the fluidity and freedom of modern dance, allowing for expressive and emotive movement. This versatile style encourages creativity while building strength, flexibility, and control. Classes are offered at three levels – Beginner Open, Beginner-Intermediate, and Advanced, making it accessible for dancers at any stage of their journey.

            Silver Swans

            Silver Swans is a graceful ballet-inspired class designed for women 55 and older. Moving to beautiful music, participants enhance mobility, posture, coordination, and energy while enjoying a gentle, supportive environment. Each class focuses on strength, balance, and elegance, making dance accessible, rewarding, and fun, proving it’s never too late to embrace the joy of movement.

              Barre Time

              Barre Time is a lively, energising fusion of ballet barre, cardio, and Pilates, designed to strengthen muscles, improve fitness, and build stamina. Each class combines targeted exercises with rhythm and flow, making it a fun, full-body workout that leaves you feeling strong, balanced, and revitalised, the best hour of your day!
