Deadly! Andre is the most wonderful ballet teacher. He makes it fun and interesting while still challenging me. He also regularly asks what I want to do, so if I want to do more barre work or more stretching we do that. He is so kind and talented.

Deadly! He gives lots of feed back and corrections which has helped me open my mind and understand how to use my whole body in my dancing. I have learnt so much in just a few months with him and I feel as i have improved so much from his amazing teaching.

I’ve been taking lessons with Andre for a year now. He’s the most professional, encouraging and inspirational tutor I’ve ever had ( and I’ve had a lot!). It’s also a privilege to be trained by a world class dancer. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
