Children's ballet testimonial for Butterfly Ballet school class in Barnes, Clapham Junction, Battersea SW11 SW13

“We came to Butterfly Ballet 8 years ago after trying a couple of other local ballet classes. Butterfly Ballet was a world apart.

Catherine’s imagination and love for dance and children is everything. The children don’t just point their toes, their paint magic dots on ladybirds with them! And my girls adore dancing in magical lands with Bella The Butterfly. And as my children grow, Catherine’s technical teaching shines helping my girls reach their full potential whilst maintaining their love for dance as the most important part. I cannot recommend Butterfly Ballet highly enough!”

“Having been born during lockdown and not yet attending Nursery, Aria can be quite introverted; as such I anticipated a rocky transition from her parent / child ‘Baby Ballet’ class to her independent Nursery class. However her trust in Miss Alice and assistants is so profound that despite her never being anywhere without a family member, she has adjusted to her new ‘big girl’ lessons without any difficulties.

The teachers provide a nurturing and fun environment and seeing them is a highlight of her week!”

“My daughter has been dancing with Butterfly Ballet since she was 2.5 years old and that was 6 years ago. She loves every minute and has grown in confidence even during her first exam! Miss Catherine is the best teacher ever; she is nurturing, fun and really knows her stuff!!

We wouldn’t do Ballet anywhere else and couldn’t recommend Butterfly Ballet highly enough!”

“Butterfly Ballet has given all 3 of my children so much joy for the last 8 years.

They love the classes which are full of fun but disciplined as well. Catherine and her team don’t just tech the children Ballet but confidence and how to mentally prepare for performances and exams. The children love going to the RAD to take their exams which they are very well prepared for and the show was a real highlight.

During lockdown, they offered a whole extra curricular module which was just brilliant! I am excited where Butterfly Ballet will be in the next 10 years!”

“Miss Catherine is more than a Ballet teacher, she is a fabulous role model too. Her passion for teaching is second to none.

My daughter has been attending Butterfly Ballet since the age of 3 and she is now a strong, confident 12 years old.

My youngest son has since joined and loves his playful classes. Miss Catherine makes learning fun! I am so happy that we chose Butterfly Ballet all those years ago and recommend the company to one and all.”

“My daughter started learning ballet at the age of three.  She moved to Butterfly Ballet four and a half years ago after her ballet school closed.  

Holly had always enjoyed dance but Butterfly Ballet really developed her love and passion for ballet.  From her very first trial lesson with Miss Beth, Holly delighted in not only in learning ballet technique but having fun at the same time.  

I have found the principal and the teachers to be extremely professional as well as approachable, practical and warm.  During the lockdown, Butterfly Ballet sought to not only continue with the ballet classes online but also to find innovative ways of offering interesting and inspiring workshops about dance to its pupils.  In doing so, they enriched my daughter’s life greatly at the time.  

My daughter looks forward to each and every Butterfly Ballet class and she is now a very proud Grade 1 and 2 qualified ballet dancer!  Thank you Butterfly Ballet!”
