Elancé Adult Ballet School
OUR STORY
After many years away from the studio, Elancé’s founding principal, Dianne Harrison, rekindled her love for ballet at the age of 30, describing it as “like falling in love all over again.” It was this moment that marked the beginning of Dianne curating an incredible experience for adults in ballet.
Comprising two beautifully-appointed studios in Melbourne’s Mitcham and Flemington, Elancé has been renowned for excellence in adult ballet since 2002.
“For The Love of Ballet”
Embodying human connection, Elancé’s studios enable the perfect balance of finessing technique, complemented by a pure love of ballet.
With carefully formulated programming that caters to all levels, Elancé’s classes position integrity at the forefront of the teachers’ minds. A safe space for those who value feeling great over ‘looking the part’, Elancé Adult Ballet School is the community for people from all walks of life to explore and develop a creative art form in a supportive and structured environment.
Whether you enter the studio with ten years’ ballet experience or none at all, at Elancé your unique story matters, your potential is nurtured, and your triumphs are celebrated.
