We are India's premier institute specializing in Classical Ballet, Jazz and fitness forms like Callanetics and Pilates. We are affiliated to the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, London for Classical Ballet and Jazz.

The classes are held at 8 venues in the city. The venues are at Whitefield, Kammanahalli, Indiranagar, Koramangala, Residency Road, Jayanagar, Sadashivnagar and Frazer town.

Yana Lewis, the principal and teacher takes most of the classes. She is the only ISTD Ballet teacher in India with over 30 years of teaching kids and adults alike all over the world. She also launched Callentics in India in 1999. Our experienced staff consists of full time passionate teachers and dancers professionally trained in India and abroad.

Best case, you may start from the next class itself. For children's batches, there is a waiting list and sometimes you have to wait for 6-8 months to secure a place. This is because, we have only professional international standard teachers who go through years of training with Yana and abroad before they can teach. Also, our drop-out rates are very low and students continue their training for many years.

Our classes generally consists of around 25 - 30 students. Our passionate full time teachers have undergone rigorous training under Yana and abroad and are fully equipped to handle bigger classes as well ensuring that each child gets the attention it needs.

Sorry, Ballet like any Indian classical form takes years to learn. Our academy functions similar to formal education schools where students continue their training on a long term basis.

It entirely depends on what you want to achieve. A ballet dancer after doing years of ballet as a child would join a full time 3 year dance diploma course to achieve a professional status. The dancer would still do regular classes in Ballet.

Yes, though generally the earlier the better. If you are working towards doing Ballet at a professional level, we would recommend at around 8 years when you could start doing classes more than once a week. If you are learning it as a hobby, you can start at any age. We have some mums in the class as well who are learning it for a few years now. We also have trained Indian students who started learning Ballet at 23 years who with lot of hard work, attending all classes of Ballet and Callanetics/Pilates  have reached a level where they could apply for full time dance training abroad. You may start with the Grade 2 class. 

To join us, you will have to start our classes from the initial grade only, that is, Grade 1/2. Further, we shall access you in our classes themselves and take things forward from there. 

The greatest risk of learning ballet that you actually need to worry about is wrong training. If you train under a teacher who is not trained enough or doesn't have enough experience and knowledge to teach, you could land in trouble. Wrong technique and training can result in to injuries. Yana Lewis, our principal and teacher has over 30 years of experience in teaching Ballet all over the world to students from all age groups. While most of the classes are taken by Yana, our instructors are all well trained personally by Yana Lewis and have been working with her for more than 6 years. We also follow the international Imperial Society of Teachers' of Dancing syllabus, founded in 1904 and recognized as an authority in setting curriculums all over the world for Ballet. All our classes are safe and we are proud to have zero-injury rate. 

Eating disorders are very much a psychological thing which professional Ballerinas sometimes go through. It is slightly exaggerated in films and other media though. Fashion models with anorexic or size-0  frames sometimes go through the same. 

We do not have offer a summer course yet. Moreover, we believe that ballet cannot be learnt in a short while, but rather requires years of training.
