With studios in Mitcham and Flemington, Elancé Adult Ballet School has been renowned for adult ballet since 2002. Our supportive community welcomes all, no matter where you are on your ballet journey. In our safe and beautifully appointed studios, we blend finessing technique with a pure love of ballet.

Progressive Level Program

Our Progressive Level program is unique to Elancé Adult Ballet School, with Progressive Levels 4-6 designed for advanced adult ballet students. Building on strong technical foundations, our 90-minute Progressive Level classes recognise the abilities of our advanced adult ballet students’ and challenge them in a supportive and non-competitive environment. All classes respect traditional classical ballet training methods and studio etiquette, whilst maintaining a sense of fun and enjoyment.

Progressive Levels 4 to 6

If you have 5 years of adult ballet (or over 8 years training in earlier days) and it’s time for chaînés to be linked to your practice, then PL4 could be the class for you. If you’re leaning toward a penché and you have 6 years of adult ballet training (or 9 years earlier), then perhaps it’s time for PL5. These advanced adult ballet classes will further consolidate your technique while broadening your repertoire.

PL6 is for those dancers ready for everything from fouettés and cabrioles to pirouettes in attitude en dedans. You’ll need extensive classical ballet experience (at least 7 years of adult ballet or over 10 years in earlier days) and your technique should be established and strong. If this is you, the freedom found in PL6 will make your dancer’s heart sing!

Elancé Class Levels

At Elancé Adult Ballet School, we cater for every level of dance experience. We understand that trying to ‘fit’ adult ballet dancers into a basic 3 tier structure – beginner, intermediate, advanced – rarely works for the dancer. Through our carefully curated timetable of up to 12 different class levels, we can ensure that every student is both supported and challenged at the most appropriate level for their experience and expectations.

Beyond the Class

While students are appropriately challenged in their intermediate adult ballet classes, we believe there is no need for added pressure in our lives! As such we do not hold exams nor present public performances. Students at Elancé Adult Ballet School enjoy an inclusive, non-competitive and supportive community, with many opportunities beyond their weekly classes, including workshops, intensives and special events such as our popular “Dance On Stage”.

Enrolment

Enrolment is term-based, but you can start your advanced adult ballet classes at any time. We offer an extensive timetable of both day-time and evening classes, at two studio locations. Our range of different class and enrolment options mean you can get the most out of your intermediate adult ballet experience.

All initial enquiries (by phone or email) are received by Elancé Principal, Dianne, who will personally recommend the most suitable class level for you to try, based on your dance experience.

Attire

Students are encouraged to feel comfortable in their chosen attire. Although many students choose traditional ballet wear, active-wear such as leggings and a fitted t-shirt are also ideal. Students are required to wear ballet shoes (flats) for all classes and hair should be tied back and off the face. Aside from an optional water bottle, no other gear or equipment is needed to attend our advanced adult ballet classes.

Our advanced adult ballet classes will have you dancing as you’ve always dreamed, so enquire today to join the inclusive and supportive community at Elancé Adult Ballet School!

“I just wanted to say thank you for the last 6 months at Elancé! Being able to transition back into taking classes so easily by writing to you after a few years was really helpful and the joy of dancing is something I had really missed! Understanding the connection between dancing, technique and our bodies has been a really great experience and I’ve came a long way physically and health-wise. I look forward to the next semester.”
