Are you worried that starting BaLLET later in life means you'll never be able to progress enough?

Unlock your true ballet potential, no matter when you started. 🗝️ Don’t let a lack of progress bring you down. It’s not a reflection of your worth or talent. More often than not, the culprit is a curriculum that prioritises entertainment over progress.

But if you’re devoted to ballet and willing to apply what you learn, you have all the tools you need to improve. Witness your ballet journey transform by following a proven, science-based curriculum, tailored for adult students. Click below to discover what you’re truly capable of 👇🏼

I've always been scared of the pain insecurity involved in pointe technique, and that fear made me reluctant to overcome the barrier that pointe shoes represent, although it's one of the most beautiful things about ballet obviously. But Olia's class taught me to overcome that barrier, and to not only achieve substantial improvement, but also actually enjoy what I loved, yet feared so much. Her exercises have strengthened my feet, improved my arches, and taken away that clumsy look of the steps that's so frustrating when you begin pointe work.

I liked how clear you are with your explanations! So many teeny details in correct posture. I deeply appreciate the thoroughness you use to explain the mechanics of the body! I just this morning re-did the third lesson/exercise of your Posture mini-course. My motto right now is that I don't have to be extreme, just consistent. And this video perfectly supports this. So, I've bookmarked this video for future viewings!

Working with Olia is one of the best decisions I've made on my ballet journey. She has given me tools and tips that have improved my confidence and performance. [...] Having Olia as a mentor is the last piece of the puzzle that will help any dancer achieve their goals. Every dancer can benefit from her wealth of knowledge, technical experience, and psychology of ballet. [...] She is the Ballet Bestie you never knew you needed but always wanted. 💗

Body type, age, and talent have LiTtLE to nOThING to do with performance.

I am Olia, the science-focused ballet educator who is teaching adult students online following a thorough and proven ballet curriculum.

Ballet technique is a concoction of skills which can be learnt by those who are ready to dedicate themselves to it.

After being qualified with two Diplomas in Dance Education and a Masters’ degree in Dance, I’ve taught hundreds of students on and off line, for more than ten years. My experience has given me the knowledge to develop my signature framework, which helps me to guide my students until they uncover the ballerina they’re hiding inside.

I've been working with Olia both within [a group class] and also her private lessons. We have been developing my skills so much both in the classes and in our private lessons, and I'm so grateful for all the help that she has given me over the past few months. [...] Also in private lessons, Olia makes sure to have a plan every single day.

Thanks to Olia and her wide spectrum of technique and countless variations, I could improve more in [four months] than in four years of class. The most valuable aspect for me is that Olia offers to all problems – as huge, as they might seem – perfect, fast and individual solutions.
