4.8/5 from 19 Google reviews.

I tried few other ballet schools in Blackheath and this one is absolutely the best one. I came from 15 year of ballet myself and I appreciate the role model Angelina is to the girls. Discipline and kindness, Angelina and Emily are giving the best balance approach to the girls in this delicate but tough sport. well done!— Francesca Martinato

Great classes, lovely atmosphere and fantastic, supportive teachers. I started dancing here last autumn after moving to the area and am really glad I found Angélina’s school. Classes are a great balance of a good work out and having fun with a friendly group of people.— Stephanie Nicholson

I am so happy I finally decided to join ballet classes as an adult, and conveniently this is very close to my home. I just wish I'd found out about it sooner! Very challenging but super fun way to exercise both your body and your mind.— Génesis Coelho

I will be fully transparent and point out that i'm Angelina's husband! However, I have long been a huge fan of her classes, teaching style, and the way she can connect with children. Just some of the reasons I married her in fact 🙂— Rob Sandall
