The nurturing and supportive environment fosters positivity and camaraderie among students. There is no sense of rivalry or tension; instead, each student is encouraged to follow their own path, and everyone cheers one another on—whether it’s celebrating a major achievement or mastering a challenging exercise in class.

Because you offered ballet, had lots of classical ballet experience (rather than being a jazz school etc that ran ballet classes), were close to our house, seemed very nice and welcoming (and so were the other students). - Not overly competitive or cliquey like many ballet schools - this is very refreshing.

Helene is so welcoming of all students regardless of age, ability, size and shape. She just loves to share her love of dance with her students. It is always wonderful to see all students enjoy performing at the end of year concert.

Lisa - Parent of student

Helens experience! She has women still dancing with her as adults that she trained as children. Ballet has a reputation as being a short-term pastime for amateurs due to injury, but she has maintained long term relationships with her students that show her training is skilled, safe and trusted.

Tailored approach for the boys, the extra classes and activities were fun. Bringing in guest teachers from different backgrounds to expose students to different styles and techniques. The holiday programs are fun and enjoyable. Community involvement, getting behind your student’s achievements inside and outside of the school, the fundraising for causes that mean something.

Something I found unique about Helene Gowers Ballet School was their welcoming- ness. I find every class very homely and inviting. Getting along with people here is easy and there’s always something to look forward to here. Whether it’s learning a concert dance or getting a pretty costume, or simply just having fun in class. Class is always somewhat entertaining, but the students always get lots done. As a student who’s been at several ballet schools, Helene Gowers Ballet School is definitely a true ballet school.

The end of year performances gives the students a real experience of the magic of ballet and the intense preparation it requires.

Experience of teaching, a nurturing and safe environment for discovery and development of creativity and physical expression.

Bronwyn - Parent of student at HG Ballet

I love that the kids do a full ballet each year (not a series of dances) and get to experience what it is like to work together to being together a full production.

Classes are small enough for an individualised instruction, allowing students to progress at their own pace. Parent involvement: encouraging parents to participate in events and classes. All of these element’s help create a distinctive and nurturing environment for young dancers.
