Perfect! 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.

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.
