Philosophy
"I have always held the belief that anyone can study classical dance irrespective of their body type. The many by-products of dance – deportment, posture, presentation, co-ordination, core strength, muscle tone, self discipline and flexibility, to mention a few – can be of benefit to everyone to be carried with them throughout their lives. Late starters are especially encouraged and accommodation is made for them in the timetable. "
