"Leanne taught my 12 year old daughter ballet from the age of 4. Her exceptional teaching skills ensured my daughter passed all her RAD exams to grade 3 level. Leanne's dedication to the girls and their progress meant they never missed a lesson. She even gave up her own time to further instruct them prior to an exam. Leanne instills confidence and takes great pride in her work. I would not hesitate to recommend Leanne to anyone thinking about ballet lessons, she is the reason my daughter is still dancing today. To have Leanne as a ballet teacher means you are very lucky indeed!" Noella Pirie - Parent
