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.

We have an amazing team of teachers who genuinely care about their students as people. We take time and care to ensure every student is placed in their most suitable class level. All classes respect traditional classical ballet training methods and studio etiquette, whilst maintaining a sense of fun and enjoyment.

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.

Each of our class levels is offered on the timetable at our Mitcham studio. The Entry Level program (EL1-EL6) builds classical foundations and is accessible even for absolute beginners with no prior experience, whilst the Progressive Levels (PL1-PL6) teach more complex and challenging techniques, catering to intermediate and advanced dancers. Artistry and enjoyment are emphasised at all levels!

Beyond the Class

While students are appropriately challenged in their weekly 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. Elancé students at our Mitcham studio 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

We offer an extensive timetable of both day-time and evening classes, Monday through Saturday, at our two studio locations including here at Mitcham. Although we can accommodate casual classes, we are an enrolment-based studio with the majority of our students attending per-term. Our range of different class and enrolment options means you can get the most out of your 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.

About the Studio

We take the needs of our adult ballet students seriously, with our purpose-built Mitcham studio complete with sprung floors, dressing rooms, bathrooms, kitchen facilities and a dedicated warm-up area.

Located east of Melbourne CBD, at the Mitcham studio there is plenty of free street parking available for your convenience. We are also within walking distance of both Mitcham and Heatherdale train stations and various bus routes.

Contact us for more information. It’s our pleasure to help you find your way to adult ballet.

“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.”
